Help needed - Mobile home - what are my options

I have just purchased a static mobile home on a park. It has TV in the lounge and the 2 bedrooms.

I understand a normal TV aeriel won't work because of location so I need a dish and a box.

I really have no idea about what is on offer out there.

I have Sky at home, so do I need another Sky dish at the mobile home and can I use my Sky card from home when I stay there?

or

Do I buy some other kind of aeriel and some kind of box thingy?

No phoneline there if that makes a difference.

Sorry to be so vague, any advice would be great.

Thanks

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I have now phoned sky

    1; the cheapest sky package is £17.50 pcm - too much for weekend use.

    2; sky freesat £146 box, dish, card and installed will give me 200+ channels. After this had been done I would have to get a local engineer out to wire the bedrooms TVs to work, as the sky man just makes main tv work.

    So is number 2 the way I need to go or is there another option?
