LIDL FTA Receiver

[ianl]

I am complete noob and wanted a cheap system for a first venture into satellitetv after elbowing cable.Ive been looking at various set ups and noticed
a few years ago Lidl did an analogue receiver in Ireland.This morning a Lidl flyer
came through door offering all the kit you need except for cable.Firstly is the
Comag SL55 receiver (£49.99) any good 80cm.dish(£14.99)LNB 0.6db(£3.99)
even a sat finder£3.99 at the price seems worth a shot,only problem I dont think
they will have many they always seem to sell out offers quick!For anyone else
whos a noobie like me, they say they will have them in next thursday(19thAug.)
P.S.First post hello to all!great forum.

Hi

I'm a newbie here too, to be honest only now seen the site as I too have heard about the LIDL offer - and as I'm a French and German teacher I'm interested in getting free French and German channels, but as I know nothing about satellite receivers at all I'm not sure whether this which is on offer in Lidl will be any good?


What do you think?

Should be fine for German channels, but there isn't too much in the way of free French TV around. You can see what is available on both by going to http://www.lyngsat.com/freetv/France.html or http://www.lyngsat.com/freetv/Germany.html

I'm a newbie too. I've just moved house and inherited a sky dish. Would this box be any good for hooking up to the output from that ? Or any suggestions of another box I could use for FTA from a sky dish ?

Thanks,

Allen
