Default DIY satellite tv

Some assistance here would be welcome!
Want to install a satellite tv system, but I'm left a bit perplexed by what
I need to be able to pick up all the usual programmes (BBC1 - 4 and ITV
etc.) as well as foreign stations.

Basically, and we are in London, I want to get programmes from France, Italy
and Spain - so want to know what size dish is needed - is 80cm big enough?
and what receiver? - I've got the Pace DS430N (unsubscribed) in mind - will
that pick up foreign stations?

I also want to know if this same receiver could be used in our house in
Spain (down south) to pick up the local stations as well as French, and
Italian and all the UK ones.

Installing, I shall see to myself (whether it'll work or not is a different
matter) - but gotta give it a go (even to justify posing the question on a
diy board!!)
