I have just moved into a property and there is a sky dish attached outside. Would that be ok to use for my techmate and art card or would i need a new dish. Also there is an lnb on there too, would that do the job?

Thanks in advance

In theory, it's OK but it'll need re-pointing to 13E
If it's a zone 1 (45cm) dish, you may suffer from poor signal quality

Think it's a mini dish, which i guess is a zone 1, nevermind, i've ordered a 1m dish anyway, just thought i may have been able to save some money :)

80cm dish can do the job for you.

If you can get a 1mtr dish,so much the better.
Bigger is best.

you can run them off a 70cm raven dish, i get about 80% off astra, hotbird and astra 2 with this dish, perfect for me because i live in a conservation area
