Re: Unused sky dish on side of house, what can i do with it?
That's Ok, you will just receive all the Free to air broadcasts from the 28e slot as you would with a bbc freesat receiver. You won't get any Hd content though without upgrading to a freesat Hd reciever.
Non fta channels will require a valid subscription and cannot be viewed without a smart card  Happy days |

Sky UK via satellite needs a valid subscription.

Re: Unused sky dish on side of house, what can i do with it?
all i really want is movie channels, are there any nice selections on the same satellite or do you still need a motorised one?

A Motorised satellite system would give you a wide choice of channels for sure.
You will need to do a search. I can tell you there are some cracking movie channels in English on 26e, Mbc 2, and Mbc action |
