I missread the original post. There are a number of satellites which make up the Sky platform, but as they are 23,500miles away, they appear as a single source and your single dish catches them all, you dont need to repoint.
There are other satellites, Astra 1 and Hotbird for example, which have english programming (mainly other languages tho). If you really want to play satellites, then get a steerable dish. You need a non sky box however, it looks for a certain transponder for boot up.
