Being a complete novice here i am after some advice.
Until recently I had an old analogue receiver (about 10 years old) which i used to pick up the main french channels that i watch all the time (being french :-csmile ) this had started to get very bad picture quality and often cutting on and off all the time. I decided to purchase a new digital system which cost me just over £100, I asked at the store if this new system could be set up onto my old dish and lnb etc and was told "yes and you will be able to pick up the same channels you did before"....not so, i couldnt get a thing so installed a new dish and lnb (which came with the receiver) still nothing. Now i have had to call a specialist enginer out at at cost of £150 who did wonders and got me all the channels except of the 1000's I have i am my favourite 1 missing as its scrambled....Its TF1.
The engineer told me he could get it for me but at a cost of another new receiver for about £300 and then i would have to subscribe to get a card etc for yet another £300!!
I know my dish is picking up excellent strong signals from HotBird and Astra, is there anyway i can pick up TF1 for free? I used to get it on my old analogue!
Many thanks
All help much appreciated
