Question Can I use a 40x30cm sky dish to pick up Hotbird 13E transmissions in Bristol?

The dish is from my old Sky Digital system.

Any advice appreciated!

Yes, you should be OK. You may get beakup if it rains it bit hard though.

You will need to swivel the dish west by about 15 degrees and up a little.
