Dish 61.5 in the UK?

[RBHD]

Hello, I've moved to England and am going through TV withdrawl.

I've googled this topic, and know that the chances are slim to none; but I just have to ask.

I'm outside of London and Echostar 61.5 satellites are at 8.7 degrees elevation, and 247 azimuth. I know that they are spot beamed at North America.

1. If I have a big enough dish can I pick up this signal?

2. Will any Dish HD-DVR install and operate correctly, if it can only pick up 61.5?

3. What channels are on 61.5?

4. How likely will Dish keep a Satellite in that location with HD programming?

Thanks in advance

At 8 degrees, you dish is pretty much pointed straight ahead.
