    Family member has bought one and asked me to help install it and I can't get my head around it, anyone shed some light on what I need to do to get it operating?

    First things first....

    Is it a Freeview box or a Free to Air Satellite box?

    If Freeview, it is of no use to you unless you can pick up British channels with your aerial. Even then....

    If it is a Free to Air box, then what is the problem you are having?

    I read the manual, and I got it working.

    From the information you've supplied, for all anyone knows, you just looked at the box and decided you couldn't do it.

    If you made an effort to describe what you tried, then maybe someone would be able to offer help. You're not making it easy for anyone to help.

    Basic instructions:

    Open box.
    Find manual first.
    Follow instructions in manual for assembling dish, attaching f-connectors to cable, and connecting everything up to a TV.
    Follow instructions for attaching dish to wall.
    Follow instructions for aligning dish with a satellite.
    Follow troubleshooting instructions if you still can't get it to work.

    If you still can't get it to work, try googling "setting up lidl satellite". Well look at that, first link is to a thread here on boards!

    Still having problems, describe what you've tried, your results, and what you expect to achieve.

    @polyfusion

    Everyone starts out a learner at some stage and has to ask questions.
    We strive for this forum to be a generally polite and helpful place and your first response is far from either of those.
