Default Using only an old sky dish, what can i do?

Hi guys, basically i just want to know what my options are with my currently not in use sky dish on the side of the house? Can i just get the free to air channels? Would i have to upgrade the sattelite before thinking about anything else?

Thanks in advance

See other thread.

Assuming it's pointing to 28e then you will have no problems.

Yes, basically. The Sky dish is ideal for 28E, for the Freesat, Sky and FTA channels.

A minidish can be motorised, as satelliteman will testify, but for the greatest choice a larger motorised dish is much better.
