Transparent dish

Standard dish

In order to view British TV in France you will need a satellite dish accurately aligned on to the Astra2 satellite. The dish size required depends upon your location. Generally the further south you are the larger the dish you will need. If you already have a satellite dish at your property it may be possible to have it realigned for British TV reception, provided it is of the correct type and is in good condition.

The dish must be installed in a position with a clear line of sight in a southerly direction, pointing into the sky, free of obstructions such as houses or trees obscuring its view of the satellite in space. Once you have the correct dish installation (and a run of cable to your TV point) you will then need to choose your satellite receiver type and channel package.

There are many options available to you for receiving British TV broadcasts. You can choose to receive just the free channels, such as BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and radio or upgrade to receive pay-channels such as sports and movies.

Satellite receivers are now available that will record programs directly onto a built in hard-disk. This means you can record a single program or even a whole series at the touch of a button. Simply select the program you wish to record from the 7-day TV guide and select the record option. Playback is equally simple. No more will you need to struggle with programming complicated DVD or video recorders or purchase the ‘Radio Times’. Programs or films you wish to keep forever can also be archived onto DVD for long-term storage. As a further bonus is that the TV guide will automatically update if there is a schedule change. This means that a sporting event will no longer lose or ruin a recording. This option is now available with or without subscription as are certain High-definition (HD) broadcasts.

Channels that require no subscription include: BBC TV and radio, ITV, Channel 4, FIVE, BBC News, Bloomberg, CNN, Film4, Classic and Jazz FM, Cbeebies, CBBC and many more.
