Aldi, coming soon

We tried TV when last on sale but had to return it as the DVD sound quality was poor, although strangely TV sound itself wasn’t too bad. They hadn’t got any more left, so we opted for money back. And bought a more expensive Avtec.

Any one with experience of the Aldi TV satellite receiver? Mildly tempted. 

Had one years ago from 'Lidl' ,,worked well ,depending on how it was set up  !!

Flatcoat - my only experience was that I bought one a couple of years ago - at the same time I bought their caravan TV.  I took the TV back because it kept dropping the signal (see earlier post) and I also took the satellite dish back.  Two issues - firstly, try as I might, I just couldn't get it to pick up a signal (but that might have been me, or the decoder I was using) - and secondly, it comes with a suction mount which meant either putting it on the roof of the van (impractical when trying to align it) - or on the roof of the car.  Didn't like that idea because it might either damage the car roof - or else at some point I would end up driving off with it still attached

I then looked at buying a tripod to mount it on - that meant modifying the bracket or adapting it to get it to fit onto a tripod and it all became too much of a pain for the potential reward.

That was why I bit the bullet and bought an Avtex TV with "Easyfind" technology built-in, together with their flat  Easyfind satellite dish and although much more expensive than the Aldi offering, works like a treat every time and is so easy to set up.

I've got to the stage in life when, if things don't work as they should, it annoys me and if it means paying a bit more for something that does the job as it should, without any hassle, then that suits me fine!

Just been to Aldi stocked up for the year with their (good value) toilet fluid,  they have   Pink Green and Blue, £5.99 for 2ltr. and a new  electric kettle for £ 9.99. first trip out on Saturday for 5 nights , late start this year.

Brian and Sue

Hope we will be able to get our supplies in tomorrow as we've just got back home from our latest trip.

Went yesterday and came out with a trolley full of toilet fluid and wine.  Must remember which goes where

😀😀  Reading these posts just reminds me of this.  Apologies if you've heard it before, but if not, it's really worth a listen......

I think you'll find a Cabernet Sauvignon tastes much better.

Went tonight and came away with 3 containers of blue and one of red....that should last us for the rest of the year, along with our pods, of course.
