My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S

Didn't have a clue whether it was possible or even legal? I'm no technie and know nothing about dishes etc.
For all practical purposes you can forget it. You are looking at a dish getting on towards 12 feet in diameter, and it is secure encoded so you need an official subs. Unless you live on a farm in the middle of nowhere it is unlikely you would get planning permission for a dish that big.
