Hi

It's my dad's 60th and my sister would like to buy him a Freesat system.  Does anyone know of any good offers please.  I know lidls one is supposed to be good and at £30 excellent value but they haven't got any.

I have seen one in B & Q for £40 are these any good because on searching people have said about the satalite channels normal channels, it must say freesat on the box etc and it all gets a bit confusing for someone who hasn;t a clue on all this LOL

Can anyone please help and steer me in the right direction and tell me what and where to get at a good price thank you so much

Hi, I'm not sure exactly what it is that you want as £30 for a system is unbelievable. Does your Dad already have the dish, LNB, cables, compass, sat meter, etc and you just need the box?

I saw a very nice Silver Crest box in Lidl's a couple of weeks ago it was just under £50, it was just the receiver though.

Hi,

I've got a Lidl system. It's not a Freesat kit it's "free to air" it does not have the Freesat epg. It only shows now and next on the epg. The main advantage is you can delete channels and re- arange their positions in the egp. Try looking on the Maplin's web site they do something similar. When Lidl's have them they go like hot cakes usually sell out in minutes.
