[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 71794, member: 176256"] It depends what you mean by French TV. Obviously if it's just the terrestrial TV then a normal TV aerial and TV should get these for you. If you can't then the post above [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=30672[/url] gives some answers for the reception of French terrestrial TV on [U]analogue[/U] satellite. If you mean subscription French TV then look in the Viaccess section for some clues. From reading other posts on the site there appears to have been a code change which is giving some problems. The 3 pay TV operators are in digital on 19E and 13E. These can be received using an 80cm dish with 2 LNBs but without the correct codes (or a legitimate subscription!) will be just a blank screen. UK TV can be received using a standard region 1 minidish coupled to a digibox in northern France. This is broadcast from 28E. You could have a 3rd LNB on your 80cm dish pointing at 19E if you want to limit the number of dishes. Most TVs in France are multistandard so that they can show both PAL and SECAM transmissions in colour. You will most probably have to use a scart (peritel) connection between the digibox and TV as the UK PAL differs from continental PAL. Anyway this will give superior quality sound and picture. It does cause a problem if you want to pipe the UK pictures and souns around the house though. I don't know what you mean by a TV with built in decoder. If you are thinking of a UK IDTV (integrated digital TV) then this ONLY for UK terrestrial reception - and anyway it isn't a decoder, just a digital reveiver. I'm sure I've missed loads of answers out but please feel free to ask more. PaulR Just for your information. In the south of France I use a digibox plugged into a French dual standard video recorder and then a dual standard French TV - all with scarts. Sometimes I also have a Nokia 9800S connected with scarts for other satellites. [/QUOTE]
