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

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

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

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
