Sky is not hacked like cable so you can't get Sky for free, only way is to use a valid subscription.

sky

can u pick up sky and hotbird with a 80 cm dish will both work with a sky box

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

You can pick up with 80cm dish but will not work with sky box because a sky receiver only scans transponders which are 22000 or 27500...
To get both sats on one dish you will need a multi lnb bracket..
Google that and you will find pics

I would personally go for a motorised dish bit tricky to set up tho.

sky

would sky and hotbird work with a 60cm motorised dish in the nw with sky box and another box

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Nope because a sky receiver is not diseqc compatible.. but if your going motorised go for a 90cm dish as you will discover and receive more..
Get a Technomate if you want a basic box and a any which will read a official sky card.. If you are getting a sd Technomate then look at the 5400super..

sky and hotbird

can u have sky and hotbird on the same 80cm motorised or fixed dish using a sky receiver and a different receiver for hotbird would u need multi transponders

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

You cannot have a sky box connected to a motorised dish because the receiver is not compatible..

you could put a 90cm dish up and use a multi lnb
bracket,one on hotbird an one on astra then run
two seperate cables,one to sky box and one to
other box.....
