3000 channels from one satellite! never heard of that before! Anyway pursuming your dish is pointed at 28.5 east (Freesat and Sky) then there is no way you can receive any scrambled channel for free even if you could update your receiver, you would have to have a Sky card for any Sky scrambled service. Oh welcome to the frum.
