1. If you have Sky+ then you already have a Quad Lnb installed, so with Sky+ and a regular Sky box hooked up, that should leave you with one free connection for your reciever.

2. To get the Irish terrestrial channels you will need an aerial, have a look here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055605432

3. So you will need a cable to go from the Sat to the reciever and another to go from the aerial to the reciever.

There is also a big thread on the MVision HD200 here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055475266
