Yeh i have a 1.2m dish and i get 5w which has most of the french channels i think?

It has france 1,2,3,4 among others. I think only france 2 is fta but i could be wrong there is prob plenty of fta french channels around!

there are a handful of french language channels FTA on 13 east. TV8 is one of them that sticks to mind.

For just over 100€ you could get a Fransat setup for 5 west, which will give you access to all the French national channels.

TF1 and M6 are only available FTA in analogue. The others are FTA in digital.

Sur Astra 19.2 Est (numérique/en clair), il ya France 24, TV5 Monde, TV5 FBS, KTO (Catholique), LCP, Demain et ARTE.

Ces chaines, et TV8 Mont Blanc, sont également disponible sur Hotbird 13 Est. Parfois, les émissions de Canal + sont en clair.

Also i think M6 is clear in digital on 7 east, it may be the swiss version?

you can also buy a TNTSAT (sd) box/card for around €100 (HD is c. €250) which gives you the full suite of French terrestrial channels on 19.2e for at least 4 years.

19.2 is probably the easiest sat to have in conjucntion with UK tv on astra 2 (28e), single dish with 2 lnbs works well.

Get a receiver + card for TNT sat here or here, look out for a satellite dish with a recommended size of 80 cm and point it at Astra1 19°e.

Sky mesh dish might also work but I wouldn't go down that that road.
