Hi

I have a second home in France. At the moment we have a standard TV there receiving analogue TV through a communal TV antenna sited on the pool house. The antenna serves all the houses on the development via cabling pre-installed in the houses (built c 2001/02).

We want to be able to receive the digital channels - French equivalent of Freeview, known as TNT. Will this be possible using the communal antenna or will I need to have my own installed? Also, will my UK freeview box work in France?

Any advice would be very welcome as our managing agents are proposing some form of very expensive upgrade so that we can receive French digital and we were led to believe it was possible without any major work being done.

Many thanks

Helen

if your TV has good signal then you should be able to get French TNT no problems- even on a communal antenna system. You will need a local box- your UK Freeview may not work

If you are talking about TNTSAT then it would be a relativly expensive upgrade -this is common where digital terrestrial signal does not cover your area

best to talk to your neighbours, find out if they have TNT or TNTSAT -if they have TNT -then you only need the upgrade if your current analog signal is weak
If they have TNTSAT -then you will need an expensive upgrade -
