I swore (yes; swore..!) that I'd never have a TV in our van but after a few dark and rainy experiences, the better half began looking wistfully out of the Dimension window at nearby vans within which could be seen the flickering screen of the one-eyed squark box..
"It may be nice just occasionally to have a TV...." she said.
"Hmm" said I.
Anyway, on another forum, there was a lot of chat about this satellite system from Lidl which had a very good response from those who had bought one. I allowed myself to be convinced when Celia pointed out that it would also be useful for getting BBC radio when we were abroad and, secretly, I quite fancied one because I can't resist a gadget even if I'm not fond of TV. So we got one and I've just tried it out for the first time in the garden and it worked
First time ;D
It cost £65.00 and for that you get the dish, transponder, receiver, cables, compass for locating the satellite and strong, plastic 18" x 19" x 6" box to keep it all in. If you want TV, particularly if abroad, this is a very good buy at the price. I believe it will pick up the Astra satellite down to the South of France and possibly Northern Spain but I'm no expert
This was on offer a week or so ago but I think Lidl still have them - we got ours a week or two after it was first announced.
