Receiving French channels via satellite
In certain areas of the PACA region, DTT reception via a Yagi aerial can be difficult or impossible: deep valleys, mountainous terrain, signal blocked by buildings. A satellite dish then becomes the ideal solution to receive all free French channels.
French satellite television options
TNT Sat
TNT Sat is the official free-to-air DTT-via-satellite service. It allows free reception of all DTT channels (TF1, France 2, M6, Arte, etc.) via the Astra 19.2E satellite. Only the purchase of a card and receiver is required - no subscription.
Fransat
Fransat is an alternative to TNT Sat, broadcast via the Eutelsat 5W satellite. It offers the same DTT channels plus a few bonus channels. The Fransat receiver is compatible with many televisions.
Pay bouquets
For greater choice, pay bouquets such as Canal+ offer a wide range of additional channels via the Astra 19.2E satellite.
