French Analogue tv channel frequencies

[alnmike]

Help please. Could someone tell me the channels the basic french tv channels are on? We have a new tv, but i am having trouble tuning it in. Before I climb up to move aerial, I wanted to know what area of frequency! I live south of Cherbourg, 50250.

thanks.

Assuming your aerial is pointing at Cherbourg Digosville (a main station) then these are the channel numbers.  However,  depending exactly where you are there may be a closer low power relay.

But do you have a French TV,  or one capable of tuning system L?

If not the scanning process (or indeed a manual tune) will not yield results.

Let us know if further help is needed.

Hi!

thanks for the suggestion - we can tune by 'L' and do have a French TV. We seem to be pointing at Cherbourg too. But still no joy, do you have the actual VHF frequencies? We suspect there may be some dodgy cabling somewhere!

This is SO sad,  but here goes

           Vision/Sound  MHz

ch 59  775.25/781.75

ch 62  799.25/805.75

ch 65  823.25/829.75

ch 06  184.00/190.50

ch 35  583.25/589.75

ch 37  599.25/605.75

 

A broken connection or old cabling could well be stopping the signal.   Round here in 24 we get a lot of grilled signal amplifiers after storms,  if they are burnt out they act as remarkably effective attenuators!

Bon courage

Are they actually still transmitting on VHF? I though that that was limited to Ireland & Spain! Is it B&W? I might go for a bit of nostalgia ....

The only thing to be found on VHF is CanalPlus , the rest transmit on UHF, so perhaps they are scanning the wrong band.

Anyway here is site that list all the transmitters Departement by Departement so that they can check the relays as well as the main sites.
