Anthony: The larger the dish, the more the gain. However, you do need a clear view of the sky where the satellite is, so mounting the dish up as high as possible is the usual solution. Sky will charge you slightly more for a non-standard installation.

You would not normally expect to install a dish on someone else's property.

Nedbod: I guess the BBC could have bought themselves a new encoder, but I have not specifically heard about it.

Ansel Spear: You won't be connecting to the Airport Expresss, the RJ45 connection on there is for the device to connect to your network, or directly to your router.

If you don't have spare Ethernet RJ45s on your home router, you will have to buy an Ethernet Switch so you can connect more than one device to your home router.

bob davies: Your software should be able to autoscan for this information as it changes from time to time.

If you have Windows 7, select Media Center and then Set Up TV.

Martin N: Yes, just connect it up using a standard aerial cable. The Magic Eye is only required if you want to change channels using the Sky remote.

Peter: Yes, that could certainly be the case, or possibly there is something coming between the dish and the satellite (depending on where you have mounted it).
