Thanks for your help! Happy Xmas.

Martin, you are a genius! Its working again.  Any ideas why that should just suddenly happen like that?

Has anyone elses Freeview stopped working please? Mine went off at 1030 last night and is still off. Signal test shows the same strength/quality etc. I get the message 'there is a technical fault try later' on all channels.  

Does anyone know please if France Telecom have an equivalent to 1471 - to find out the number of a missed call? Thanks.

Thanks for the help. will go to that website, and then up the ladder to measure the dish! Perhaps a bigger dish will solve it. I am in Manche, by the way.

I have freeview sat and whenever it rains or the winds blow, the picture breaks up, especially on the BBC channels. Can anyone suggest a solution to this please?

Thanks Peter, have checked that site out and now have the address of my local Chambre des Metiers. Still unclear as to whether I need to register with them to get my CDS, but I can now call in and ask.

I want to get a carte de sejour and I believe that as I am self-employed (working in the UK, not France) I have to register first at a chambre des metiers. Is that correct? Thanks.

Thanks for the help...this place is brilliant, I knew someone would know how!

Does anyone know of a way to automatically divert calls made in the UK to a UK landline, to a French landline?

Thats not as I understand it Sasha, but I will be on my guard just in case.  I'll let you know any information that I find out.

We have some land to rent out at the end of this year when the present farmer retires. we kept his rent at a peppercorn level when we bought the house and land, but when we let it out in Dec we would like to get a fair rent. Does anyone know please, who is responsible for setting a fair rent? Is it SAFER, or a notaire? Thanks.

Thanks for all the help. I think I will apply for one.

Could anyone tell me please, if I apply for a titre de sejour does this give me temporary residency and if so, is this automatically given to my wife too? Thanks.
