wolfsbane Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Apologies in advance if this has already been covered! I have an apartment in the Vendee as a holiday retreat and would like to know if a French equivalent of a Freeview box exists and if so does it have any English Channels on it ie BBC World etc? I ask as my building syndicate forbids the erection of Satellite dishes, and I cannot get a line of sight to the satellite for a free standing dish on my balcony for Sky. Just wondered if anyone out there has any similar problems or ideas.Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yes, a French equivalent of Freeview (i.e. digital television via terrestrial signal from an aerial rather than a satellite dish) does exist. It's known as TNT. You can buy French televisions with a built-in receiver (we have one) or purchase a set-top box which are very much the same as the UK Freeview set top boxes.No, it doesn't have any English language channels.And TNT, like Freeview in Britain, is not available over all of the country.

Bannon Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 If you want to be a real pain in the **** you may just find that syndicates cannot stop you putting up a dish! Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
