Hi Allan

Welcome to the list.

Yes 150 will work fine with Sky, suggest you start with one only first
until you have got the hang of it otherwise things can get confusing.
I'd highly recommend you start with Knoppmyth as its quick and easy to
get back up and running when something goes wrong.
Check out the knoppmyth wiki here
http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NZMythConfig
And download from here http://www.mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html

You will need a serial port based IR Led in order to change the channel
on the Sky Box, there are links at the above knoppmyth page to get you
going but you can get the parts from dick smith or jaycar and make one
in 10 minutes (although getting it to work properly will probably take
you considerably longer).

Cheers
