    For info, the following channels are available FTA in DVB format on AtlanticBird 3 (5w):

    Arte
    France 2
    France 3
    France 4
    France 5
    LCP

    All are on TP 11591 and no dodgy cards of any kind are needed, just a digital decoder. I've seen these and the quality is excellent.

    Maybe a sticky on the availability of FTA French TV is merited?

    These channels have been free to air for at least three weeks now. However, according to discussions on "another" forum, these FTA french channels are intended for the cable industry there and apparently owill be scrambled soon. Enjoyed switching between French TV and RTE commentary during the recent match !! BTW, watching on Palcom FTA which I purchased from the excellent satellites.ie site :)

    Looks like I'll have to start dating a French woman so I can get her TPS card....

    TF1 and M6 are privately owned.

    The French government passed a law of 'must carry' that obliges most cable and satellite operators to carry the normal terrestrial stations plus TV5 and to only charge a reasonable fee for delivery. The government does not require the operators to encrypt the stations but they can if they want.

    There's been debate in France about it. I believe the stations will be broadcast FTA on DTT & some French people have argued that it should also be FTA on satellite.

    This, of course, ignores the concerns of the global media moguls who want to control what the population of each country sees.
