ALDI - Thursday Special Buys 3rd June 2010

Is this a good buy?

 

[rolfw]

Yes, can't beat that pricing.

 

[satelliteman]

Nice price, although a 45cm maybe a little on the small side for North (Scotland).

 

[Lazarus]

If you look in B&Q/Homebase, they have an HD kit based on a Ross Receiver (also with USB Recording) and a 60cm Dish for between £65 and £80 depending upon promos.

As suggested, the Aldi dish might be restrictive. The bigger B&Q one will be more versatile.

Already have the dish, set up for the Dreambox disconnect that for the World Cup set this up watch some games and grab a USB stick/drive to record the other games to watch later.

Beware: Aldi operate a system where they allocate their stock in the car park before opening for popular items. Confirmed when I tried to buy a PC. Arrived at 8am for a 9am opening to be told they had all been allocated!

Same as Lidl, staff get first pick.

Watched a lot of games on Freesat HD, thanks to Aldi, and I have to say the picture is great. The only issue is my pals Cameroon are out tonight after (again) giving us some great football. Never mind next time.
