Just buy this for €80 use the receiver, and keep the LNB and dish as a spare: http://www.lidl.ie/IE/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20080707.p.SilvercrestDigitalHomeSatelliteSystem

More details: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055327025

or if you're really strapped for cash try Maplins they'll have a receiver alone for about €60, not as good value as the Lidl package though, twin LNB's are at least €20.

Why don't you just save all the free channels in the favourites menu (I think its the blue button on the sky remote) and save yourself the money.
