    I have a 12 volt sky box which I bought on an auction site but rarely use it as I added a freesat box a few months ago.

    The one for Sky is a Pace 1000 also know as Javelin or sky minibox.

    If you prefer going down the freesat route look for Humax or Zehnder.

    I hope this helps..

    The lidl 65/12 (I think) is really good.
    It's silvercrest brand... The newer ones have a totally different software/user interface which is real easy to use.
    The older ones were terrible( so don't be put off by peoples opinions)... I happen to have both of them so I know!!
    It's also really compact which is handy for the van.

    Is that from their "camping" satellite set?

    Thanks. Still mulling over TV/ Sat options, with ASO I've a few different ways to go with various TV's needing to be replaced in the house!
