When the question comes to get UK live TV channels in France the choice is between a satellite receiver, broadband HD TV reciever, or web streaming TV online services.
A total of 160 UK TV channels are available
for FREE via a satellite dish and if this is
not enough a sky subscription will add even
extra choice. When you don't want or you
can't have a dish your next choice is the
dish-free Broadband TV receiver working anywhere in France, Spain, Portugal and
around the World as long as you have decent
internet.
The Broadband HD "dish free" receiver is
growing quickly in popularity as the BBC Astra
satellite signal is now quite weak and hard
to get in the South of France where
typically a 125 to 150 cm dish is needed to receive
correctly the BBC channels. Contrary
to satellite reception which is completely
free
to watch, the broadband signal requires
a monthly fee.
Internet TV ( also known as Broadband TV) is
the quick solution to receive immediately
all UK public TV channels and your favourite
series on your HD TV screen in France. And most importantly
- you can also record as an option. You can sign up for
a month of service at the price of EUR 16 and pay only for the few months
time you spend here in France. There is no
annual engagement, you can pause the service through a Web portal which makes this system quite
flexible for the holiday home. This is also the ideal TV solution for
rented properties so british visitors can
have some access to live tv from home
durring their stay. So Satellite or

the situation in the countryside is
different and and in rural remote farms and
houses internet TV is not really an option.
