    Nope, you need to be a Sky customer to receive their channels from satellite.

    you need another SKY decoder (box) and a few years ago you would have needed a dish with a dual LNB (low noise block) (horn thing on the end on the arm) but nowadays you need to upgrade the LNB and run a separate cable to each receiver (box) or just run a cable from the main receiver to your TV (but you'll be restricted to watching the channel their watching downstairs
