@moybank Sky UK use the orbital position at 28 East, the dish can't be pointed at another satellite as it wouldn't get any of your channels.

Unless you can find a suitable location for the dish or you can get the tree pruned you options are going to be limited, to Sky stream.

There are actually three satellites in use by Sky UK (and Freesat) but as @GD1 indicates they are all in the same orbital location so that only one dish is necessary.

Any television dish you may see oriented elsewhere is picking up European television in languages other than English.
