SilverFeather Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 We have a holiday home in S.Charente and the previous owners left what appear to be both a mini dish and a standard (60cm?) dish (no antenna).We want to be able to watch French TV so on our last visit there we bought a TV in the supermarket just before we left (still in the box!).We also want to be able to watch BBC1, BBC2, ITV, & Channel 4.What else do we need to get bearing in mind that as we are not there very frequently at present we're not keen to pay a monthly subscription if we can avoid it.We have a spare UK TV which we could take down there if it would be of any use, and we also have a very old Sky (analogue) receiver (with long-expied card!).Any help gratefully received though preferably in non-technical language.

Ron Avery Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 If you drop down 15 items to the previous page of topics you will see topics around the beginning of the year. Have a look at the Great News getting Sky topic and others about getting French TV around that time , these will answer your questions. Don't throw away your old sky analoque box, the card is no good, but you may get French TV better through a dish than an airial. In a nut shell, you need a sky digi box and a valid sky or FTV card to get ITV and Ch 4 & 5 in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
