Subscription Packages
Contrary to what you may believe, your existing subscription packages will work the same in France, although a larger satellite dish will usually be required. However, please be aware that we do not arrange viewing cards or sell SKY digiboxes.
English Free to Air (Astra2)
Almost any digital receiver will suffice with no need for a subscription. On this basis you can receive all the BBC TV channels (1, 2, 3 and 4) and their regional variations, the same for the suite of ITV channels, Channel 4, Five, More4, E4, Film4 and many others. Channels such as SKY News are also available as well as other UK TV channels and numerous UK radio channels.
Alternatively, you may prefer the more user friendly Freesat service. Whilst still offering most of the same channels as above, the additional benefit of a Freesat receiver is that it comes with an 8-day TV guide, red button services and does not need to be updated when 'behind the scenes' frequency changes take place.
TNTSAT (Astra 1) & Fransat (Eutelsat 5)
Over 20 digital French language channels. A considerably better system than the old analogue one and with far more variety. Carries the main 5 national channels (including the regional France 3 of your choice) and is also able to receive all other un-encrypted channels broadcast from the Astra1 or Eutelsat 5 satellite.

A standard 'full installation' consists of the following equipment:

- The appropriate fixings
- High-quality 17 VAtC cable (as much as is required)
- For satellite TV - A digital satellite receiver of your choice (if required)
