You can use your current dish - just remember if you want to use a PVR you'll need two spare outputs on it. It doesn't of course matter If you are planning on replacing your current Sky PVR.

I have had a Humax Foxsat for over two years and it's been great.

You can also go through the humax direct website.

500gb version for £279.00 or you could pay the extra and go with the 1gb version.

I also have a FOXSAT-HDR, and aside from a few minor niggles, it's great. I would say it has more minor niggles than the only other receiver I've used (Panasonic G20 TV), but the G20 TV has more major problems, like not actually being a PVR

surely you can connect an external HDD so it will at least record one channel?

Yes, but then you can't watch any other channels.
