Second dish options using an old Humax

    Ok so I'm looking for ideas/best use.

    I have an old Humax Foxsat PVR that is currently hooked up to my Sky dish and is used just to record the likes of ITV in the house.

    The Dish itself is there for my Sky Q package, on which I have the full suite of channels.

    Someone has just given me a brand new 60cm dish, brackets and LNB and I'm wondering whether I can point the second dish in a different direction and make better use of the Humax. I don't mind losing the ITV recording but has anyone any suggestions as to best use for it ?

    Unless you want foreign language TV, there is really nothing else worth pointing a dish at.

    I speak fluent Spanish so that's an option, or maybe one that has decent Soccer coverage

    AFAIK most good Spanish channels are encrypted.
