The big pity is that you won't have a prayer of getting it in the UK due to frequency reuse on the northern france beam from KA-Sat

There will be frequency overlap so unless you right inside the foot print your not going to get anything. You may get it in the Isle of Man and possible right on the West Coast of the UK, but anywhere else you can forget it.

You also will need a new lnb as its a higher frequency and uses circular polarisation instead of the more usual Horizontal and Vertical polarisation
