Martin963 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I know a few of you have got TNTSat boxes, and if you have you might like to check channel position number four, as at present Canal + is running free-to-view.Probably a weekend promo, so if you're interested make the most of it as it won't last.At present watching a delightful (NOT!!) film called Hellboy II. My goodness the young watch some strange things..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks for that, might give that a look.Hellboy 1 was bad. But Hellboy 2 in French might be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 In fact the promo - I now discover from the inbox on the STB - runs until 29th Nov.We can now see how Canalsat and + are reaping the rewards of stepping onto the TNTSat platform and then using their "Trojan Horses" (boxes in people's homes) to launch a subscription gathering operation.I just knew TNTsat wasn't launched for entirely altruistic reasons....

auxadrets Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 A big thank you, we are watching Liverpool v Man. City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Can't get it through my orange box.Edit Just read the thread properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 [quote user="Richard"] Just read the thread properly.[/quote]Aahh! I misread it too, but in another way ... I rushed to OH and said 'Martin on CF says you can get Canal+ on your sat box at the mo, channel 4, there's footie on'. Bless him, he switched on but the TV said he had no abonnement for canal+. On rechecking on the thread it says clearly 'on TNTSat boxes'. As OH has a canalsat box perhaps I should read posts more carefully and slowly, instead of seeing written what I would like to see ...Sue [blink] [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Sorry to have got your hopes up!Seems a bit hard when people already paying the organisation (via canalsat) don't get the "freebie" when people like me - who have never paid a sub - get a free ride.Console yourself that it's only temporary!

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I was looking forward to watching footy on the box too.Not to worry I have a good stream on my laptop of the Arsenal game at the mo. Just waiting til 5.30 for the Everton game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Canalsat do offer the occasional free month of Canal+ from time to time; I usually notice it around the 28th of the month, just as there is something interesting coming up at the start of the following month.........I would guess that we have had about three free months in the last couple of years. Unfortunately it just serves to remind me of how expensive it is if you subscribe to both Canal Sat and C+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 I believe though that it's the first time they've offered it via TNTsat boxes.TNTsat (now that it's been made "compatible" with Canalsat/+) offers a neat way of owning your own box rather than renting one of theirs.But as you say it's not cheap. But what is nowadays, we keep being "threatened" with deflation but sadly nothing I need has come down in price...... at least not long-term.
