Hi Rob

I think a fixed dish would be the way to go, will my original sky dish not pick anything up apart from the normal sky satellite if i was to move it and point it in a different direction? Also, would that same dish interact with a different receiver or is it only designed for that one?

What if i picked up an old sky analogue satellite, would that work for anything in europe?

What direction would you recommend to pick up premiership football? And what receiver would you recommend?

Thanks for the welcome! :-)

For European channels you will need a larger dish (maybe 80cms) and at least a free-to-air receiver (from about 80 pounds).
What did you have in mind a fixed dish for one satellite, or a motorised system for many satellites which of course will knock the price up quite a bit.
Have a read through the forum and see what is best for you, and then ask again ok.
