(sorry I posted this as a reply in a sticky)....but;
Would this set below be any good to use? I have been reading a lot of the other sat related posts, and understand that either software needs to be used with a receiver to "unscramble" some of the signals, or a card.
I used to have the old "freeview" box years ago when they first came around and used to do the card update, and see that it is similar.
Only prob I can see with the Lidl box is that it does not seem to have a "card slot" although it seems to be able to pick up from at least 8 satellites.
Any thoughts anyone?
