French satellite TV and British radio

[Landix]

I know this is a bit of an unusual combination but could I get both of these though one satellite in Normandy- I am sick to the teeth of Cricket on long wave.We do not have fast computer access and not even mobile phone reception in the village where my workroom is.I am planning to go into Gitem and ask but they usually look a bit blank when you mention the BBC!!!

Yes, you can. You need to ask for a combined analog/digital satellite receiver and a motorised satellite dish. This will get you the free French national channels as well as BBC radio.As a bonus, you would also get BBC television. You might have to go to a specialised satellite retailer but the equipment certainly exists in France.
Somebody living in France might give you an idea of prices and where to source the equipment.
