Just to explain further, the box will work with Freeview, but it won't display the EPG (programme guide). Now & Next will work (I think), Also the channel numbering (LCNs) won't be as expected unless you edit them.
Just why Lidl thought a generic digital terrestrial box was a good idea is anyone's guess, I can see the point of a generic D-Sat receiver as quite a lot of people watch services from Hotbird and Astra 19.2, and incidentally most of the staff and many of the customers at my local Lidl are Polish.
