If you have been viewing the French channels in Analogue on the Atlantic Bird satellite then you will need to upgrade your receiver as the service is now set to be a Digital Only Service called Fransat.
Fransat will be offering both this the Standard Definition Service and a High Definition Service as well. Showing the same channels as the popular TNTSat system such as TF1, France 2, France 3, M6 Arte and many more.
Fransat has the added extra that the viewing card not only is subscription free but has an unlimited lifespan, all you need to have is either the SD or HD receiver and card and a suitable satellite dish pointing towards the Atlantic Bird Satellite at five degrees west. At least a 60cm dish is required and in some areas this would need to be increased to an 80cm dish for the best signal.
