[QUOTE="closetosoton, post: 71513, member: 184281"] Fear not, you've a might budget there dear boy, the National French channels (TF1/france 2/france 3/la cinque/M6) are still all free to air - however they still use that antiquated system - analogue. You can get an analogue receiver off ebay for about £25, in the midlands you'll probably need an 80cm dish. Here's some DIY advice gettting french TV ([url]http://tinyurl.com/452qy[/url]). These channels reside on Atlantic Bird 3, 5 Degrees West. As mentioned in the previous reply, in the digital world, the TPS package is where the french channels come from, if you're a naughty boy you can get it for free (well until tuesday you could then some things changed - consult the Viaccess forum) and I beleive you can subscribe for around 7Eur a month for the basic package. TPS hangs off Hotbird at 13 Degrees East. The french national channels aren't yet avaiable free to air in a digital format. (You can get TV5 free to air on Astra 19.2E, and RTBF sat - belgian french too) For more info on french TV, and to save me repeating myself consult my replies to this thread [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=30131[/url] For your football I wouldn't know where to start, but some of the guys on these forums will point you in the right direction. As for CAMs its a whole new world out there, I've no personal experience - yet! If you want a minimum of boxes the Technomate DACPI will do both Digital & Analogue ([url]http://www.technomate.com/products2.php[/url]), I'm not sure what its CAM compatibility is like - again no experience. Finally welcome to the world of satellite, there's a lot of viewing out there. -CTS [/QUOTE]
