I got rid of sky a while back due to poor service.
To be honest I'm surprised they can tell you to leave the box on permanently when in this day and age of global warming, they tell us to switch electrical items off when not in use!
If they tried to have on this i'd take it to your MP, see what they thibk of SKY!
I was thinking of getting a satellite set in a case from Maplins. Do you get a good signal wherever you are in the country?

We bought a suitcase sat system from Lidl , very easy to tune in to Astra satellites , came with it's own sat box , first time we tried it we had over 300 channels most english speaking , well happy .

The bigger the dish the harder it it to find the satellite

Holding the dish at the outer edges gives more movement than turning the pole and makes it easier to "fine tune"

If you look at the map its easy to see that some of the footprint does not extend much farther than Northern Spain so no Corrie south of Barcelona

It is possible to switch to the south beam of Astra but I have never needed to do that
