I think I know what you mean,I also at some point am hoping to use this ,i think you need to be looking for what they call BBC setback ,I think it is called that ! its a sat which still has the BBC programs on,but for some time has had a uncertain future you should be able to get this with a 1 meter dish.
you also need a sat box capable of receiving and decoding  the signal  and imputing a code which you could get for free of the net, I know this was still working last year, but I haven't looked into it lately ,Nigel will know more about this satellite ,I dont think installers would recommend  this though,due to the uncertain future ,still the whole set up should still be fairly cheap and there are other sats up there to watch  English speaking channels.
Also you know that through your TV you can change allot of the programs back to English speaking ,if they were originally spoken in English.
Hope this Helps
