  1. Thanks for all the info... phew and I thought computers were complicated. We are buying a house in Surgeres just east of La Rochelle.  I can't see anything in the manual for my TV except for PAL so I guess it won't work.  I'll have a think about the french TV when I get there but expect I'll end up going for a digital box and sort it out if the French change there transmissions in the future. There is a satellite dish at the house at the moment there at the moment but as it is occupied by a french lady I expect it is looking the wrong way.  I am not even sure whether she will be using it for pay tv or freeview. Anyway I'll keep you updated.  Thanks, peter
  2. I'm movng to the Charente Maritime next month and just wanted to check that I understand what I have read correctly. I am bringing a sky digibox with a freesat card which I want to connect up to a french dish - which I think has to be a digital lnb receiver ?,  I also want to access French TV on my UK TV so I think I need a second dish (rather than motorised which I have been advised against) - again digital with a FTA French decoder ? . Can anyone tell me if I have got it right please
  3. We are going over to France shortly to try and find a property to rent.  I have read that you need a Bank Account before you can rent a house and I have also read that it is easier to set up a Bank account with a French residiential address - bit chicken and egg.  Can anyone help please - can I set up a Bank account without a French Residential address???. Also, has anyone experienced the Banque Postal ?,  they seem to be quite competitive but is it a cheap and cheerful service ? Thanks, Peter 
  4. Hope this is the right place for a posting - having just returned from 2 weeks (not for the first time) in France we have come to the conclusion that we would have a better quality of life over there and have started taking steps for the move - language lessons - property searching - tax laws etc. Someone has mentioned the Charante to us and we intend having a trip there next month - we would really appreciate any information on the area and which bits are worth a look and which to avoid.  Thanks peter
