trouble is their not sensitive enough ,they can find the signal but not peak it like a scale version its ok for astra but falls down on other less powerfull satellites but for £3 good enough for a rough position.
weve just upgraded our lidl sat reciever ,for the money its extremely good but limited in its use our new one has card and cam slots so sky and other scrambled channels can be viewed (with the appropriate subscription ofcourse)
as we cant get freeview the lidl reciever will be installed in the bedroom.
just tweaking the new one to get more satellites

How do you manage to get sky without their box?? Thought the viewing card and box were paired up, i.e you cannot use your card in someone elses box??

Hi    Has anybody used a Sat finder with Sky+? if so how do you know which cable to connect to? and does it work ok?
