I'm thinking of getting Sky and want to
maximise the potential of the dish to be
installed.

A few Questions :

1. DO Sky insist on using their standard
mini-dish (45cm?)?
2. Do they have 65/80 cm dish options with
their installation?
3. Would a larger than standard sky dish
offer more channels from other satellites
with the use of a freesat box?
4. Can a freesat box and Sky+HD box be
used simultaneously from the same dish?

1, No, not in Ireland
2 Standard oval dish
3, gives more choice for foreign satellite (not needed for sky though ) like this setup
4 Yes.

you could get an independent installer to put up a dish if you wanted to go that route.

All sky installs done in Ireland and done so with a Zone 2 dish which is 60cm and is oval in shape.
