Yep, Sky Digital, or at least the free to air channels.  I've given up, 
we're going to get a satellite installer to come in and adjust the 
dish.  Will cost me £35 but at least I know it will be done correctly 
without risk of anyone falling off the roof!

At least I'm gettting 4 connections put in and the rooms wired up for 
freeview cheaply.

Assuming it all works I'll order a DVB-S Satellite card for my MythTV box.
