[QUOTE="Lord Minty, post: 143041, member: 197725"] Hello, I'm new to sat TV but I've caught the bug since I saw the recent FTA Lidl kits. Unfortunately I was on me hols when they were sold but SWMBO came home unannounced with one of their SL65 receivers a couple of months later! I now need to get a dish/LNB/cable to get it working (it looks a bit sad in it's box!) and I'd just like to check I'm on the right lines..... Long term aim is to have a motorised setup so I can see as many sats as possible, but until then I want to get the basic components right. My current thinking is to get a 90cm dish+LNB and I'd probably go for either a Fortec Star, single LNB and fitting kit from Maplin and DIY (unless they sell their new 90cm kits at a knockdown price!). Unmotorised I'll probably point it at Astra2, Hotbird 13 or Astra1, depending on which channels catch my eye when I set it up. I particularly keen on French language channels to help our daughter with her spoken French. I spoke to an 'installer' (has ads in a local paper) and he was suggesting a 90cm dish could be too big for Astra2. Is he talking rubbish? BTW I'm located just south of Bedford. Thanks..... [/QUOTE]
