[QUOTE="willis, post: 386422, member: 256132"] Hi - first post so please be gentle - I want to get a basic digital satellite system installed which will give me access to all the free to air French TV channels (France 2, 3, 4, 5 etc). I know that TF1 is not yet available on free to air but it may be soon. I do not want to get any type of subscription card at the moment but I may want / need to get one in future (if TF1 isn't on free to air by the end of the year). I am not interested in any other european channels (the system is for my wife - who is French and about to go on maternity leave - so lots of time to relax watching telly). Also I currently only use a freeview receiver (no sky or ntl and no plans to get). My questions are: 1) What receiver should I get (I have a budget of £100-£150ish)? 2) What size and type of dish would / should go with it? 3) I am getting a local firm to install and have been quoted £140 for installation (including wires / brackets etc, as well as a renewal of my existing TV aerial and wires as they are a bit ropey and prob will fall down any day), is this reasonable? Any comments / views / recommendations would be very gratefully received. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
