[QUOTE="Fuzzy Duck, post: 654974, member: 195665"] Has anyone tried the "TV d‘Orange associant ADSL et satellite" as a way to get the French TNT channels in the UK? _http://assistance.orange.fr/2016.php?dub=1 This seems to be offered for free with an Orange broadband account in France, you get an Orange access card and pay 49€ deposit for the decoder. There is no mention of it being time limited to 4 years like the TNTSAT offering, and I am a bit reluctant to pay 93€ a year for a BIS TV card for channels which I won't watch that often and many of which are free when you are in France. I have a relative in France who already has Orange broadband and I wondered whether I could simply get them to sign up to the TV offering and use the Orange access card with my Echostar AD3000IP, motorised dish and T-Rex cam/Predator 3.69? I also have a red Viaccess cam but I don't know whether this is any use. If the Echostar did not work then presumably the Orange decoder should work in the UK? It seems that you have to connect it to the Livebox, would they be able to tell that it was not being used on the same line as the subscription in France? Any advice would be much appreciated before I investigate this option any further. [/QUOTE]
