I have successfully 'exported' Sky TV to the Midi and followed the advice given on www.angelfire.com which I picked up from the "Television and Satellite" another of the topics. For info it appears that the TV seller advises the relevant authorities that a TV has been bought and they send you a bill for the 'Redevance' ie license fee. If you return to uk before receiving this it's worthwhile, I believe writing to the authority requesting the bill. I don't particularly want my cables chopped after just having them installed! I am also using the french terrestial channels. There are french cable channels but mostly continental. Cheers Dave
