Yes, it should be OK, but make sure that it has a universal LNB.

thanks for your help on this matter

60cm may be a bit on the small size for the polish channels on 13E. Some of them are on split transponders, and are lower powered than the rest. You might find an 80cm would be better. But try it and see.

I'm 20 miles east of you in Gorleston and get the Polish channels on 11158V using a little Lidl/Comag dish. His system isn't analogue is it? There are Polish channels on 13e in analogue.
