You can get a Sky system installed and a ‘freeview’ card that gives you a limited number of channels (BBC, ITV, etc.) and doesn’t require a monthly subscription.
You will have no chance of Sky TV in Nicosia with a 2.7m dish if you want any sort of decent channel package...
I live in strovolos and have a 4.3m dish with Sky+ 160 system, and I still get breakup around 8-10pm on some channels and others just plain dont work...
