    I have a Status 315 but never seem to get a great signal from it, for that reason I choose to bring a spare a Sky dish & box where signal is always guaranteed.

    Thanks for the reply I used a sat dish from lidl with my sky box last year but I had problems getting signal so I thought I might try aerial instead

    I'm not sure if the Lidl dish is compatible with a Sky box but a Sky dish can be picked up quiet cheaply these days. Lot's of them on Ebay. Sky is my preferred option particularly when travelling abroad.

    hi KOL
    with your lidl sat did you have to do any resetting of the receiver box to pic up british broadcasts,just curious as with the lidl set i got i could only pic up foreign channels,i am thinking about getting another one and trying again,may purchase a sat finder See if it helps.

    Hi Kol when you are using lidl dish & receiver in Ireland do you use a sat finder or do you just the beeper on receiver

    I picked up the British channels no problem. I would say the reason that you only picked up the foreign channels is because you picked up the wrong satellite. There is a tiny diference in the direction of the dish between astra 2A and 2B (literally a few degrees). That happened to me when i set it up the first time.

    I used the basic compass that came in the kit to get the general direction and the beeper to fine tune it. If i cant hear the beeper I just get someone to tell me when the picture appears.
