We are buying a TV here in France and already have a satellite dish and aerials on the roof of the house so hopefully French terrestrial won't be a problem. We get our broadband and telephone through Orange and they offer us a decoder. In addition we want to have either Sky or Free to Air to get UK TV. Can anyone tell me what is the best deal? Thanks.

We had the TV guy round yesterday. He says that all we need it to have the satellite dish turned and he will supply us with a decoder box in order to get Free to Air. He says we no longer need the Orange box and its only use is to try and sell you Boutique packages. With the new system we will get all the French programmes plus all the Free to Air on the same system. The bill will be about 150 euros all found.

I'll get this moved to the satellite section, where hopefully you'll be more likely to get a response.
