Lisa: You will need both a "quad LNB" fitted to the dish, and the addition of a second cable. You will probably need to contact a local installation company to provide this for you.

Kieran: You are in an excellent reception area, so I would check your aerial point is still connected to a rooftop aerial.

nice: Yes, if you take the box and card with you it will work in Spain with a 3 meter dish. The dish must be aligned to the "Astra 2" satellite cluster, which is not the standard in Spain.
