I read a thread last week about an offer at Lidl, as this looked like a cheap receiver for a noobie to 'play' with. I'd heard that they normally only have a few, so be there early to beat the rush.
I am no good at waking to an alarm so i thought 'I'll stay up on my computer all night' so I'm awake and won't miss this bargain. So I arrived at 5.30am, hoping to be first in line. I WAS, the next to arrive was a member of staff, who was unsure how many sets they had in. So I decided to stay put. At 8.38am!!!, the next customer arrived to queue, when I explained to her (an elderly lady) that she would not be able to receive any encrypted Sky channels, she got back in her car and went home. At 8.52am, yes 8.52am the next customer arrived (8 minutes before opening time). One other person arrived before opening time. They both came for this receiver.
I'd like to say that we all strolled in calmly, but just in case there were only 2 sets, I went charging down the aisles like a man possessed ( bearing in mind that both other people were the higher side of 60) I got there first and scrabbled to get the receiver, dish, lnb and the sat finder. Mission accomplished.
There were various piles of goods there, but I didn't pay any attention to what it all was, I'd got what I came for, so I paid and left.
At about 3pm (after being up for 31 hours) I fell asleep, only to be woken up again by the phone. The mother in law had phoned to let me know she was in Lidl and had seen a satellite box for £49.99 and did I want her to get me one, as there are only 8 left.
Everyone is laughing at me now.
I hope it was worth the wait, I'm installing next week.
Anyone know the number for the Samaritans?
Ps I checked it was working on Astra 28.8 and it seems fine. I'm toying on buying a Moteck sg-2100. Will it be worth it?
