We moved to resolve that issue. Now I'm waiting patiently for someone to turn and stick Vdsl2 equip in our exchange

Re: imminent sat changes - what to do in NE France
When we initially got our SFR box we didn't get tv included because the download speed was insufficient.
However, I kept checking our neighbour's phone number [ he did not have internet service] on various internet providers websites to check what services were available in our area.
Eventually, these checks showed that tv was available and we contacted SFR and were immediately despatched our tv box which is attached to our "neufbox".
Initially, we didn't have a good enough download speed but due to better compression of the signal we able to get the tv service.
You may struggle to get HD programs.
Check an elderly neighbour's phone number on Orange; SFR; Darty etc and see what is available.

Is the service included in your subscription?

They gave us a TV box so I assumed it included TV.
To be honest I have no idea how to set it all up anyway. I guess ASDL from livebox to TV box and hdmi from tv box to tv?
Clearly I have no idea.

I don't know really. I just took out something as I needed internet to work. I think they saw me as the stupid Englishman I was/am and sold me a package.

If you are unsure which is which then you can Google them.
There should be no more setup required other than to choose the appropriate HDMI input as the source on your tv.

I didn't know that an Orange TV box was compatible with satellite.
My bad.
