Satellite dish for campervan

[kateh]

We have been told that we can use our Sky receiver and just purchase a dish (mini??) for attaching to the side of the van to receive satellite programme is this true? We are also wanting to use it in Europe is this possible? We have been told we need a satellite tracker to set it up when we want to watch tv. What size do we need and anything else technical that I need to know.

Yes, you can use a minidish in the UK no problem. It depends where you go in Europe though, as to what size dish you need.

You will probaly need a meter to line the dish up, and a compass would help too, since you will be moving around.

The setup will only work when parked though, obviously.
