What satellites do I utilise to get French TELEVISION in the UK?
If you are looking for FTA or cost-free French TV I would suggest deciding to use either a satellite dish aligned to 19.2 E of south to the Astra 1 satellites or a satellite dish aligned to Eutelsat 5 at 5W. There is French TELEVISION on many various other satellites such as the Hotbird satellites at 13E.
As you will certainly find and see out more concerning in this blog site, the huge bulk of French satellite TV, unlike the UK is encrypted meaning you will call for specialized set top boxes and also receivers in order to be able to get it.

Eutelsat 5– 5W – Fransat
The factor you might intend to think about straightening your satellite dish to Eutelsat 5 at 5W would be to obtain Fransat which is type of the French equivalent to Freesat. This is totally registration cost-free satellite TELEVISION solution from France which uses all the main TV stations. To obtain Fransat in the UK, a minimal dish size of 65cm is recommended for the south of England and an 80cm satellite dish for the North of England and also Scotland. You will after that also require a wire connecting to an official Fransat receiver or common satellite receiver with a Fransat CAM (Problem access module) and also Smartcard.
