They seem to have shoot up in price! I am sure that in the past you could have got similar for £50/£80.  It might be worth shopping around, sometimes the cheap supermarkets have them as offers.

Bought mine a year or two ago for £59.99 from Lidls , they do get them in from time to time , but they fly out the doors so you gota be quick .
You do see them on ebay but most don't have the decoder box in the kit .

Maplins will reduce them, the last three years they have gone down to £79.99  then £49.99 no doubt it will happen again.   The £99 seems to be the price they reduce from so for so long each year that's what they sell it at.   Wait and save money.

Yes they do work.

Hi Wizard ,Ive often thought of buying one of these, at the mo we just use our aerial,  what do you pick up ? do you get free to view channels

You should be able to pick up all the Free to Air programmes plus many more, if you hit on the wrong satellite you could get hundreds you don't want! If you venture to the north of Scotland or France you may need a larger dish.

Hi Top-Dog , i wouldn't say they're freeview channels , but you do get free to air channels , bit of a mixed bunch , you also get bbc , htv , itv and i think channel 4 or 5 . Last time i did a channel scan when away i think i had about 350+ channels , out of them i'd say 20 were worth having a look at .
If you do get a system make sure you check out the compass bearing for the pitch your going on , other wise your dish could be pointing at trees and you'll get no signal , btw , the system is really easy to tune into a sattelite .

This is more, but may be worth a look at
