Hi bigssy, your Sky Card will only work in the current box that you have, for the Sky Card to work in another Sky Box the card will need to be parred to that Sky Box.
Another way to skin the cat if you intend to use a seperate Sky Box to the one you have at home, is to get a second card of Sky, this is known as MultiRoom.
Of course Sky will charge you an extra £12 per month for having a second card, so unless you can use the second Sky Box elsewhere, like my friend who rents his out to a neighbor for £20 per month!
Well to be fair he does rent 4 Sky Box's out!
You can of course start and stop a MultiRoom card at anytime, although you have to give 30 days notice, that way Sky get at least two months MultiRoom subs of you each year.
Sky coverage over Europe is mostly fine so a 60cm Dish is as big as you will need, however the FTA channels like BBC, iTV, Ch4,Ch5 etc are on the UK Spot Beam, for reception of those channels check out Astra2 Spot Beam.

Bigssy, I did this for the first time this year, much easier than I thought. Took the sky dish and cable from a friends house who had moved from Sky, Bought tripod for £20from eBay, bought a sat finder from local screwfix for £10. Lifted multi room box from spare room, plugged it into dish at site, one cable goes straight from lnb to sky box, other goes from lnb to sat finder then on to sky box, pointed to same direction as other dishes on site, then used sat finder to fine tune. All worked well!
(Note I did try to do without tripod on first outing but using pole in ground and strapping to van, worked ok until it got windy! Tripod much better for £20)
