Although I've gone through most of the other Sky related threads, I could not seem to get it clear on a few things:

I want to get Sky tv from the UK. I live in Lugano now. I don't know anyone from UK, nor have I ever lived there. Here's what I think I need to do, but I'm not quite sure...

1. Get permission from landlord.
2. Get a sat dish and stand. I assume I need something 80cm or more given my location. I want as much of the Sky channels as I can get (movies/sports, etc). I see the dishes at MediaMarkt and Coop and other places. Can I just get one of these? Is there particular ones that work better than others? Probably need a stand/mount as well.
2. Then, I think I just need to go to the Insat International website and order the box and card (likely Sky+). I assume they just mail the box and card to me. I also assume that Insat then sends me monthly bills for the subscription. Is this correct?
3. Hook up the LNB, run the cables, align it, and watch the channels.

Am I missing anything critical? (I realize 'aligning' can be a challenge, but I've done it in a different country before)

Something that is not clear to me... do I need to change the alignment of the dish to different satelites if I want to get different channels (through Sky). Or is it basically done once I align it the first time?

Thanks for your suggestions.
