Lidl stuff can be great value : I bought the receiver when it was a special offer item last year and it works fine
BUT
I recently bought a set of bicycle lights at Lidl : 10 minutes after switching on the front light for the first time the bulb blew. The rear light got wet due to rain and stopped working, it woudl either switch on but then not go off ort not switch on at all - useless piece of crap.
After I removed the front light reflector to try a different bulb part of it cracked and it;s now held on with gaffa tape : crap lights, not to be recommended even if they were free.

My father got one of these for his narrowboat. Boat is still being built though, so not tried it out yet! Looks ok for the money, good options for the bracket for the dish itself.
