LIDL Camping Satellite - any good for Polish TV?

Owen

LIDL are doing a Camping Satellite setup on Thursday, I was thinking of buying it so I can install it at home for herself - who's Polish - would this work for receiving Polish TV?

I know it's a rather clueless question, but it's Monday

polsh tv is on 13 east, so the supplied dish will pick it up in good weather but as soon as it rains you will be in trouble

Thanks Steve, what would you recommend instead?

minimum, 60cm sky dish and triax free to air receiver

This will pick up all the free Polish TV on 13 east,,,its what i regularly install for clients in mayo , roscommon, I will pm you

You will get some polish programming on 19.2 east aswell.... I think Cyfra/Polsat/TVN have some content there. Should get that with the lidl camping satellite. But i would agree with above, 60cm+ with a CI slot for a subscription if you decide to get one!

B&Q did have a 60cmish system too for under €70.

The lidl camping system is OK for SE England Sky, or 13E/19E in Benelux/France/Germany

To be avoided in Ireland, even for Sky/UK FTA

Although theres a few FTA Polish channels on 19 East theres far more on 13 east.

If you can get a pay reciever from Poland (subs a lot cheaper than what we would pay for $ky etc) Polsat stuff uses 13 East exclusively while AFaIK Cyfra Plus uses a mix of 13 and 19 East (with monoblock LNB's)

In my experience most (all ?) of them will come in on a 65cm dish (at least in good weather) although IIRC 80cm is recommended for 13 East
