Hi Mazz
I don't have the model no. etc of the dish but yes we used it with our sky card that we use to bring over from England and we received BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and all of the channels (or thereabouts) that you get with digital back home - Sky Sports News, BBC New, Sky News, ITV 2 etc etc.
