Freeview In France?

[krsone01634]

Hi All

Maybe a question that has been asked before but I cannot see. Will Freeview work in Northern France? Is it worth taking my Digital Freeview Box across the channel?

Your help as always is very welcome.

Thanks

Yes; unless it's a very old Freeview box (from the OnDigital days) it should work.

Unless you mean will you receive UK Freeview in France
and I think the answer would be no.
However France's TNT (télévision numérique terrestre) offers 18 free and 11 pay channels. A 70% DTT penetration rate is expected by March 2007.

The British freeview can't be picked up in any parts of France AFAIK. Also, coverage is a bit ropy around the borders of France for TNT due to 'border disputes' over frequencies, with neighbouring countries. (But you won't be missing much anyway)
