The French House - Satellite TV & Broadband in France
COVID-19 : 23rd March 2020 - I have confirmed with the Chambre de Métiers that I am able to work and make house visits. I appreciate the current 'distance' issues of course, and will wear a mask and gloves at all times. However, each case needs to be taken on its merits and if the work is of a non-essential nature, or of a currently unrealistic distance away, then I may not be able to assist you at this time. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss.

Based in the Haute-Vienne and operating since 2005, The French House is an established, registered and insured, family run business offering a range of satellite TV and satellite broadband installation services in the Haute Vienne (department 87) and the surrounding areas. Essentially, we cover all areas up to one and half hours drive from Magnac Laval (87190).
Please note though, we do not install or service terrestrial aerial installations. Also, whilst we can supply and fit satellite broadband equipment, we do not offer services relating to telephone line or Wimax type internet services. We offer satellite TV and satellite broadband only.
We can offer a full satellite TV installation service - usually within 10 days of receiving your order. We can fit the dish, install the cabling and satellite receiver, or if you prefer, simply align your own dish to the satellite of your choice (usually Astra 2 for UK TV or Astra1 for French TV). LNB replacement and trouble-shooting calls outs are all part of our service.
We also offer DIY installations. Simply buy the equipment from us and then you can do the install yourself with the aid of our DIY guide.
Also on this site you can find further information and the latest news concerning important frequency changes, especially those regarding UK TV, the latest satellite TV news and the news from leading manufacturers.
Check out our price list and discover how you can be enjoying UK TV or satellite broadband in France for less than you think.
We also now have a mobile number - 00 33 (0)7 69 66 98 55. We may well be unable to answer your call whilst at work, but please feel free to leave a message or SMS and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
French & UK TV on one dish with one receiver!
It is possible to have both UK TV from Astra2 and TNTSAT from Astra1 on the same satellite dish. Using an off-set bracket, the dish can accept 2 LNBs to receive transmissions from both satellites. Using a DiSEqC switch means that only one cable is required and better still, only one receiver is required. Please see the end of the French TV section for further details.
Satellite Broadband
We are now offering the Tooway system from BigBlu. No telephone line required and download speeds up to 50Mbps. Please see our satellite broadband page for further details.
