    you couldn't use it to it's full potential because it requires 2 seperate LMB feeds and standard Sky only has one.

    you would need a sky dish with a twin lnb to be able to use the sky+ features along with a sky+ subscription !!

    It's pretty easy to change the LNB on the dish and install an additional new coax (or replace it). I did it when I bought a HD box.

    You can get quad LNBs on Ebay.
