Thanks MarkW, You're right. But I think I have to compromise on the size if I want to reuse the chimney post, and point towards Astra 1 or Hotbird.

Thank you all for your replies. I haven't had the chance to inspect it yet but I think Timo's theory makes sense. It looks like a very old dish that was replaced by another offset dish that broke from the pole and still can be found lying on the roof tiles. Comparing both it looks quite large...

Greetings everyone, My brother has just moved to a new building and he's found this beauty on the roof. There's only another neighbour in the house so he can fiddle with the dish. There's another knackered dish lying on the tiles. But Will this Ikusi Dish help to get Astra 2. According to him...
