My knee-jerk reaction is: probably about as much as can be done using a TV set. As in “If you tune your TV set between channels, a few percent of the snow that you see on your screen is noise caused by the cosmic background of microwaves.”

The use would be either as the receiver at the focus of a radio antenna, or in an array of say 1000*1000 elements replacing pixels in a large sensor.
