Depends if you want hd or not,
If not you cant go wrong with a Dreambox 500s and if you want hd then the Dreambox 800hd.
Dish size you want 85 to a 1 Metre cos you will want to pick up Hotbird 13,alot of footy on there.
Would have thought your Blade does the same job as the Dreambox.
Pay about 170 quid for a motorised set up supplied and fitted.
If not fix one at Hotbird 13.

You would need to get a DISEQC switch so that you can have two inputs going into one reciver.

any particular one

this one will do GT DiSEqC 2.0 4 x 1 way Satellite Switch | eBay or a 2 way one will work fine to but buy the four incase ya decide to add more satellites or lnbs to your setup

[Curious123]

I was looking at the site selling the switch and noticed they were selling two lots of multifeed lnb holders where one was curved and the other was straight. Why would one be curved and the other straight?

I got my dish and motor from wizard satellites but I think they have changed to Wizmaster. If you are only after the dish then Fleabay is probably your best option.

the sky one will do ya mate can get them for nothing
and ya wont need a sat finder if ya simply run out an extension cable and a portable tv
hook up box and set sat to 13.0
then look at signal strength on tv till ya pick up a good signal then just tighten it up

Will a Sky mini dish be big enough for European sats?
I was told to get a 80 cm dish before thats all.
I guess alot depends on which part of the UK you live.
