[QUOTE="closetosoton, post: 69221, member: 184281"] Salut Clément, join the club, I too have been pointed at the same sat for 3 years for the very same channels. I get TV5/Arte Analogue Chanels from Hotbird 13°E. To answer your question, if your dish is pointed at 13°E you will see all hotbirds (dish size permitting - they may use different beams [read=different coverage of their transmissions over Europe]). If you're interest is in French Language channels you may be interrested in the following: In addition I have a second dish pointed at Atlantic Bird 3 5.0°W which carries TF1/France2/France3/La Cinque/Atre/M6 all free to air Analogue. Thus I get TF1/France2/France3/La Cinque/Atre/M6/TV5 all free to air (Analogue). I'm thinking of going digital too. If ARTE/TV5 are your channels of choice, then it may be worth turning your dish to Astra 19.2°E for your french language channels: you'd get TV5 FBS(France/Belgique/Suisse), TV5 Europe (Sometime FBS/Europe have different progs on at same time)/Arte/RTBFsat (French from Belgium, especially useful wife your wife is Beligian ;) )/EuroNews/EuroSport and a few others (Zik music - never seen it myself). I am eagerly awaiting the french national channels to go free to air digital - I suspect only a matter of time, ideally they'd pop up on Hotbird/Astra, rather than Atlantic Bird... time will tell. At present they are only available on pay-packages, such as TPS (Television Par Satellite) [url]www.tps.fr[/url], with the right digital receiver/CAM/card and keys found on the internet its rumoured to be possible to view these channels without paying the proper subscription - this would, however, be illegal. All the channel info/beam/sat info I've referred is available from [url]http://www.kingofsat.net/en/[/url] Bonne chance. CTS [/QUOTE]
