Hello Jim,
You may be OK for the Pay per View Channels but if you are trying for the the freeview channels..BBC1 etc you may have some difficulty as the beam for Sky freewiew is very narrow. Assume that you have bought a 3M offset dish? The LNB is also important, you need as low a signal to noise ratio LNB as you can get. Most packages come with a .7db LNB but a .3db LNB will give you a better chance of receiving all the channels. Just for info, I have 5M dish,have'nt got a SKY digibox and card so can only receive the free channels, these are OK in the morning but fade they fade away in the evening. Would be interested to know how you get on!
