Hi All,
I bought the Lidl Satellite package for £49.99 and have been very impressed with it. At first, it took a little time to get used to finding the Astra 28.2 satellite. The secret is, "very small" adjustments.
Thanks exmusso, I've been looking for a tripod for ages. Have sent you a PM.

How do you do that? If you could PM me with instructions please.

Yes but you will need an adapter as there is only a scart output on the receiver.

Excellent link Melly. Wonder if the missus is out of the kitchen so I can check the strainers.

My mesh wastebin is looking good.

Cheers,
Alan
