Suandpete Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Uk free to air only. Most people say when they arrive that they won't watch anything. This is not normally what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSKS Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Funnily enough we have 2 sets of regulars who do not even own a TV at home yet spend their evenings watching the sat TV (UK).All our guests are British or Dutch so UK TV is all we offer.

Clair Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Most of the paying guests are French now, so we have French TNT set up in the gite, but we also keep a UK satellite receiver available if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSKS Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 D&O - your site clearly says UK TV. What's the French for ''Can't you read?'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman II Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 If somebody had a country cottage in say the Lake District in England and said they had Sat TV and I found all they had was French TV I might be a bit upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Just looked at Lepoirie.com and it says "TV with UK satellite".Now I suppose that technically you deliver what you state . However as a Brit holidaying in France I would expect that French TV to be a given and the UK bit as an additional feature.If I found it was only UK TV I would feel a bit, even a great deal cheated.I like to watch French TV when on holiday if only to know about the greves and the weather.

pachapapa Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Seeing as you will require two TV licences at minimum. The extra TNT Adapteur is only around 20% of the annual licence fee.The decision looks a trifle oxymoronic.[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimportequoi Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I have French as well as UK TV. I also have to pay SACEM and SPRE as well as the redevance for the TVs my gîtes. There seems to be a new tax every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
