Just to say thank you for all your very detailed replies. We have decided to wait until we are next in France before purchasing a set up. 90% of TVs and DVDs sold in our part of Normandy are at least Pal and Secam if not just about every other type of system. We know no matter what the bloke in the shop tells us we can take it home and test in straight away for the teresteral UK and French channels and if it does not work take it straight back. Diana

This is Diana but I am on a different machine and it won't let me log in with my normal password so I am having to use my French one, hense the different name. Thank you for the replies, I am still reading them carefully to make sure I understand what you are saying. Just one point I should have mentioned, as we are close to the Channel Isles we can pick up UK TV from a normal TV areil so that bit should work just as well as in Oxford. The main issue is to be able to get the French channels when in France. Thanks Diana

Just had to reregister, hense the name change. Now for the stupid question of the day, have AOL in some way updated my accouunt to broadband. When I logged on there was no noise from the modem and it seems ten times faster than what I am used to. I'm not complaining just trying to make sense of it. It is 2 months sinse I signed up with AOL in France for one of their 100 hour free trails and wondered if they upgraded the account after that period. Confussed as usual. Diana

[quote]Diane, it’s a shame your butcher can’t provide you with good tasting rabbit. If I remember rightly (been gone a long time), I think I used to buy frozen rabbit in England, and doesn’t this often come ...[/quote] It's Sunday morning and I am happily sitting in France. I had to reregister hence the name change to La Manche. I just wanted to thank MJW for the rabbit recipies. Yesterday I bought what the butcher ensured me was a very good rabbit and have it cookig away happily as I write. As I am in Normandy I have sone the one in Calva and it smells very good! Thanks again Diana - La Manche
