Re: SKY HD - any Dish will work?

I'm assuming you're talkin about Sky HD UK and not Sky HD Germany:

Any dish will work. There's one restriction in terms of the LNB that's used, though: the Sky boxes don't support DISEQC, so for using the Sky+ service (recording stuff) you'll need two separate LNBs. A simple twin-LNB will do, as long as it provides two separate signals. You'll also need two cables.

Your post is a bit confusing. 'Two separate LNBs' ???

For SKY+ or most receivers that can record they often have two LNB inputs, so you need a twin LNB (toe outputs) or a Quad (four full outputs where a quattro is partial outputs designed for distribution systems or multi-sat configurations).

As for Sky boxes (and Freesat boxes normally) not supporting DiSEQ, this only comes into play if you have a multi-satellite configuration and in this case you can setup the first input for Sky/FreeSat getting around the missing DiSEQ issue. WIthout a DiSEQ signal, input 1 is selected.
