hello...
first time post - i hope that i'm posting this in the right place. i'm not supertechnical on all of this kind of thing...
my french girlfriend is going to be moving in with me in the uk over the next month or so and she'd like to be able to watch some french (and possibly german) tv channels.
i've seen that the french have launched something called fransat (http://www.fransat.fr/index.htm) which seems to be similar to uk freesat. this looks like the thing for the french tv... but has anyone tried to use it in the uk (and if so did it work)? is it really as simple as buying a fransat box, getting a satellite dish to point in the right direction and hooking them up or am i missing something?
also... would it be possible to watch british satellite (28E), german satellite (19E) and french satellite (5W) using one dish, or would i need two (or three) dishes?
