Yes they can use yours. Check that they can get the FTA BBC and ITV channels from Astra 2D with their dish. They also need Eurobird 1, not sure which transponder though.

Thanks for that , Why do they need eurobird ?.
Have recomended that they get a humax HD box.

The EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) downloads from Eurobird, without that the receiver will not function as a Freesat box. _http://www.lyngsat.com/eb1.html should be easily receivable from Germany.
