You mean Astra 1 at 19E? You can pick it up with a minidish but it will be very susceptable to problems with weather. A 60cm dish would be OK 80cm would be better, and if you got a monoblock LNB you could pick up two satellites (Astra and Hotbird) from the same dish.
There's a lot of European channels available on Astra 1 and Hotbird at 13E, but only two Korean (both Hotbird, and one of those is encrypted) Channel Sun http://www.channelsun.com/ and Arirang http://www.arirangtv.com/english/index.asp

You wouldn't really be able to use your Sky STB on Astra1 or Hotbird.
