The only problem we have at our local store is that some people not fortunate to have jobs  get to the shops early,buy them and then they end up on ebay etc, so some of us dont have chance to get one....

Freeview is not a satellite service so therefore is not available on this equipment. It actually recieves FreeSat. Basically the same, except some of the free channels on freeview are encoded (Dave is one that springs to mind) and you can get other non regional channels that you cannot get on freeview.

I dont think that these recievers have Card Slots.  If you want to recieve the Sky Channels, I would suggest using the dish from this set and then take you own reciever and card with you rather than using the receivier in this kit.  You may as well be better of getting hold of a second dish with a mount and take your own.  I got one of these similar setups from Aldi a little while ago, it does recieve quite a few channels but you will not be able to decode any scrambled channels such as Sky One.

Typical when I paid £65 for the Aldi one 2 weeks ago, still, that's life I suppose.

I bought one of these a few years back Click_here , at this price it's well worth the money , they'll be on ebay at about £90 a week or two after Lidl sells them .
you can't use a sky card with them , but you do get bbc1 bb2 itv and i think c4 or c5 can't remember which , you get lots of other channels cbbc cbbies movies for men 1 and 2 , horror channel 1 and 2 , plus a few music channels , last time i scanned for channels i had about 400 , now their not all great channels , i've got about 20 in my favourites .
One thing you should know is the sucker thing is useless , although it appears to have stuck well to the caravan roof it lets go within a hour or two .

This may help you decide,

on some sites its almost imposable to get a decent picture from your van aerial or even with a separate one so the sat will give you a clear picture all the time once set up

Remember big brother will be on while your away so if you dont want to miss anything LOL LOL
