The answer to that is quite simple - Lidl, and many other similar global operators, see no economic sense in marketing a product which has a very limited target region but instead market products with the widest geographical application - in this case pan-european & beyond - it’s driven by volume and profit margin coupled with low sale price - Freeview and Freesat, whatever their merits, are limited to a very small geographical area
