There are no Irish FTA Satellite channels.

Yes, it can do French channels, but not at same time as UK, different Satellite (8W?)

I'd not buy it for French exclusively, but really it's best for FTA & Freesat on 28.2E, the UK Tv channels.

it's a bit late now - since the 25% was up to and including Sunday - but I was also in Tesco - and the 25% was also off the SD installation as well as HD.
