Depending on your home location an 80 cm dish may not be big enough to recieve signals from certain satellites. Do a google search for satellite footprints and dish sizes. A motorised set up will give you a greater choice of viewing but again it can get expensive if you are purchasing cards to view these services. A Card share server helps with this cost but most if not all of them you need to have something to give back

also depends on where in the country you are as to what you can receive with 80cm dish.

I have a fixed dish with a dreambox too.

If you have, or can get, a monoblock lnb then the most common setup would be astra 19.2e and hotbird 13e on the same dish. Depending on how you configure the box, you'd be able to get a lot of channels. And you'd also have the option of subscribing to art sports.
