Could it be from the same stable as the Fortec Star's? It kinda looks from the small picture like it could be a Fortec/Pansat/Pantec/Globotech kinda thing.

You mean Free To View, it won't decrypt those channels, but there are only Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky 3.

Is Five Life and Five US FTV ?

I think Lidl are doing HDMI and Component cables as well.

Is Five Life and Five US FTV ?

Yes they are. You need the same card as for viewing the original Five.

OK thanks.




There always seems to be mixed reviews about electronic stuff from Lidl or Aldi.
Good to hear from people who have bought their stuff and are happy.
