UK & Ireland Lidl satellite stuff status...

[spiney]

Yep, went to my closest Lidl yesterday (not saying which, sorry!), they had no kits, one receiver, but loads of satfinders and lnbs and 80cm dishes.

Got a satfinder (£5, inc a short cable, as Lidl say "that's cheap"!). Since I have to put my dish on the kitchen sink, to watch, that means using a finder each time, but now I'll just leave the Lidl one in circuit and keep my Digisat in the toolbox, much less bother ....

(not saying which, sorry)

This thread gets more sublime as it goes along (meant in the friendy-ist of ways).

Not to divulge the whereabouts of a local - somewhere in the Midlands Lidly Horror Markt - - - to other members

Me thinks the next time I say anything thing here - I better keep my cards close to my chest.

I only mentioned the Lidl stores i had visited in case anybody in the area was after the cheap sat gear and wanted to know where to go for it.

Well, my 57cm dish is going on eBay tonight, so if anyone wants a bid on it, go ahead...

If anyone wants the 80cm dish and LNBs, my local store (Nelson, Lancashire) still has them, aswell as the wall brackets and a couple of meters...

I was in my local Lidl last week (buying some clamp-on lamps and some other bits and pieces) and noticed they STILL have about 10+ 80cm dishes left, so if you want a cheap dish (£14.99) to play with, get to Nelson (Lancashire) and pick one up!!!

I didn't see any brackets, meters, LNBs or anything else, just the stack of dishes on a pallet, the top one opened (I guess people were inspecting the contents), might be a few other bits and bobs you might like too...

I was there again (for the pet carrier that they have) and there were still some dishes waiting to be bought!!!

How far away are you? Lidl in Nelson's next to the dead end railway that goes through Blackburn & Accrington (with me at the end in Colne!!!), it'd probably be a lot easier just hopping on the train (especially as I'm packing up my house so it's in a complete mess!!!)...

It's on Rigby Street, Postcode BB97AA, literally right next to the railway line...

I'm tempted to buy myself a couple of them and eBaying them...

There were about 8 dishes only, no LNBs or wall mounts, when I was in today, some decent looking toolkits there though...

Been and got the dish, felt like i was in beruit.. anyway there was 6 left, 2 had been raped (guts taken out) the other 4 where ok. took mine from bottom of pile.. so there is 3 good ones left.. tool kits looked ok.. but i settled for the masking tape lol...

cheers again fella

 

[2cvbloke]

I thought you must have been, I went again cos my mum wanted a couple of the cat feeding bowls, and I noticed the dish stack had gone down...

So that's 3 good ones, 2 opened and pulled out and all that left...

 

[Yeshi]

I thought they'd gone too, but they were sat at the end of the drinks and stuff...

They were amongst all of the special offers yesterday so I guess they moved them for some reason...

 

[2cvbloke]

Well, it's just the 2 "raped" (as Yeshi put it) dishes left, I have a feeling they'll be there for a while....

Any news on when the next lot of Sat stuff's coming in?
