the rte can't be picked up by your sat set up

if you want rte on sat you will need a sky sub or a dish pointed to 9east for saorsat.

given what you have, get a combo box for the uk channels and install an aerial for the irish

just out of interest if i have a sat dish and box am i able to ring up sky and ask them to switch some stations on for me if so how much would that be or would I have to get a whole package from sky?

The Irish channels are part of the basic package, approx. €27 pm, they're not available separately.

You'd be better off with ur second option however you will need an aerial to receive the irish channels on it, however depending on where u are an internal aerial mite give u the irish channels.

Option 1 will require a second dish pointed at 9east
