The 'thingy' is called the LNB ( I don't know what it stands for), they come in 1-channel, 2 channel, 4-channel and possibly 8-channel.

They are relatively expensive here but the UK ones are identical.

You will need at least 2 channels if if you want to record (eg Sky+), so get a 4-way jobbie to begin with.

Oh, Ive just spent a couple of minutes googling and it would appear that 90cm IS the max you'll get away with, without PP.
