I used a cheap Woolies box plugged into the antennae and got all the French free channels as well as the standard stuff. If you are high you may not need a large dish, I see plenty that are dinner plate size (okay a bit bigger).

I'm probably, now, going to get a pair of sat dishes to get Europe and UK stuff.

Just get an Offset LNB

this one allows UK TV and German TV on Astra at 19.2 which also has French Canalsat but thats encrypted.


and a diseqc switch

This will allow you to get two Satellites with one dish, Although use of a Offset lnb will be dependant on what other satellite you want to get but most of the Free French normal terrestrial stuff is on Atlantic Bird 3 at 5° W im not sure if an offset of 33.2° is a goer؟¿
