i guess your choices are only limited by how much you want to spend, in our pre-caravan days we made do one like this , only had a 4.3" screen but was t.v with freeview and digital radio all in one unit

under 70 quid on ebay, worked alright, did what it was supposed to, mind you there was only me and the OH, so size wasn't important really, just as long as she could watch her soaps..

on the other hand you may want to spend a bit more in which case, something like this from towsure may be up your street

all singing and dancing ,16" screen, freeview with built in dvd player, dual voltage and under 300quid (just)

the towsure one is very similar the the one we have now in our caravan

Going of your description, you only need a system for use within the UK, go for a 50cm Dish, and maybe a FreeSat satellite receiver, we use a FreeSat Plus box, so that we can watch recorded programs if there is no or bad line of sight to the satellite.

A neat dish is the Arcon Sweaty another alternative is a flat antenna like the Attisat FL500 but both are costly compared to a decent aluminum solid offset dish.

Avoid using a Sky dish or mesh dish if you can, they are not really intended for mobile use, and can easily pick up dings etc.

Maplin sell a folding dish kit c/w Tripod and LNB for around £40 it has had good reports on here.

Yep, Sky box will work fine with the Maplin Dish.
