Personally, I recommend an 80cm dish for Hotbird.

If you buy or make a bracket (little extra bracket),it will hold a second lnb just alongside the Hotbird one,this will pick up Astra on 19 degrees.
The Lidl receiver is already programmed to receive this bird.
Effectively it means you have two dishes on two satellites.

Can confirm. I have put up the same setup in Riverstown. With SL65 from Lidl.
