French TV for Newbie...

[MW1LCR]

Hi
We have my French in laws coming to stay with us for a few months, and thought it would be nice for them to watch French TV.

I have looked on the Internet and I am confused as to which is the best solution.

So far the two "packages" that seem the most appropriate are the French TNT System (on the ASTRA1 19.2E satellite) or the Fransat System on Atlantic Bird 3 (5 Degrees West).

Are there any other options that will give me (them) the same channels (or more) at a better price?

We do have a UK Sky Package, which we are happy with and don't want to re-configure, so this will be a seperate installation feeding a seperate TV.

Perhaps you could advise?

From our house we have a clear view from East to West (via South), with only the extreems being slightly obscured.

Thanks

You need to decide what size dish you're willing to put up with, and if you want a fixed dish, or motorized, a motorized system will give you a lot more options.
As you can see, from the link, there are a lot of French language channels, on various satellites, and packages, and some FTA ones:

Do you know which channels they view the most?
