I think you should be able to receive most of the channels from eurobird 1/astra on a 1mt dish from the czech republic but not the bbc or itv progs as they are on a spot beam and you will be outside its range.
as to equipment you will need 1 metre dish,wall or ground mount for it.universal lnb,satellite cable,f-plugs,fixings for the mount,cheap sat beeper would be useful,as to the receiver that will depend on what you want from simple FTA boxes to sofisticated linux ones.
