    Just got back from my local Lidl, they have plenty on display.
    Just wanted the SL65 box but ended up buying the entire kit.

    Comes with mounting pole, sat finder, digibox, 57cm metallic dish, twin lnb and bits & pieces

    Cheers, how difficult would be it be to fix one of these up? And is the dish similar sized as the sky digital dish?

    these are very easy to set up - they come with a variety of fixing methods/brackets , there is a suction cup type fixing for glass etc, there is a wall bracket with masonry fixings or it can be left assembled in the box- which is handy.
    The dish is smaller than a sky digital dish (i think it is around 300mm)

    happy travels !!

    You are talking about the kit that was on sale last year. This one is different. There is no suction and the dish is bigger (57cm).

  • I have one of these which I bought from lidi last year. Only set it up once and it was ok. If anyone is interested in buying it i live in dewsbury west yorkshire. It would have to be pick up only. Still have reiciept for 59.99, dated 1-09-05. It is just gathering dust and i would accept any decent offer.

    I know it wonm't suit everyone, but at £15pm ( 12m contract)new customers can get a sky box, dish supplied and fitted with a card ( telephone connection required)

    That gives the Free to air , and a selection ( 2 mixes) of sky channels

    OK thats £180, but order online via quidco, and get £10 from sky & £50 via quidco ... so we are down to £120 for the year.. and they throw in 6 months of free movies ( or sports )
