Have a look at Free.fr...we pay 29.99 per month and get all french calls free ( except mobile) and most international ( inc UK USA spain etc)...also ADSL...we do not have a FT line and all seems to work well although we did have a problem that when it went dark the line went off...but now fixed and no probs

Setting up Sky box for first time
Nigel replied to Nigel's topic in French Satellite TV, French Internet and Telephone
Just been checking and find I can receive some channels but not BBC ITV C4 C5.....can get as I have said Sky 3 but also amongst others Sc4 Zone Reality Zone Thriller Film 24 Info Tv (ch 166) BBC Alba Red (ch180) Ben (ch 184) Nuts TV (ch 196) Pulse (197) Sky news (ch 501) BBC news 24 (ch 503) I think means the cabling from the box to the dish must be OK...would you agree....could it be that LNB is not picking up all channels and is there any link with the one I am receiving. -

OK..i have swapped boxes over and when I tried the good working box the result was the same as with the poor box ( radio and Sky 3 only) So I imagine the problem must be with cabling to LNB or the LNB itself.....do you agree or is it likly to be anything else -

Nigel replied to Nigel's topic in French Satellite TV, French Internet and Telephone
Thanks for all advice. I am going to swap over the two boxes I have to see if the problem is the same. If is solves the problem then either the box or card is at fault..if not it must be the LNB I guess......any ideas how I can illimiate the card as being at fault -
