300 channels for £75!
 
Want nearly 300 channels for a one-off payment of £74.99?

Get up very early on Monday, 26th April and get in the queue outside your nearest Lidl store and buy one of these digital satellite kits. Set it up and watch nearly 150 free-to-air TV and over 140 FTA radio channels. A datasheet is available here.

Bargain or what?

Okay, to be pedantic, 288.

And yes, that does include stuff like Topps Tiles FM but, you never know, someone may want to listen to it - it might be very instructive :D

But,but,but......The channels are mostly the BBC and all it's regional variations plus religious and ehtninc channels,some dubious looking ones and so many of those 'free shopping' channels that personally I'd pay NOT to have.

I think I'll give it a miss.30 or 300 channels,there's still nothing to watch.:)

Erm, how? :confused:

Not like Sky+ channel-wise: This box is just a basic digital satellite receiver, for Free-To-Air channels.

Not like Sky+ PVR-wise: The box doesn't have a HDD like a Sky+ box or a TIVO does.

It's got an EPG & a timer function, like a normal box.

You can't get Sky Sports 1,2&3 or any of the movie channels so it's a waste of time.:dozey:
