A sky dish is too small really. If you have a zone2 60cm you may be able to get some channels but it will be limited, you may just about get hotbird but you'd have to try.
Currently spl will be found on hotbird 13e degrees satellite, and on thor 1w degree satellite. So really recommended would be a 1 meter dish, plus a motor so that you can get the most choice.
With the price of a receiver as well you should expect to spend around £200.
