The FTA French channels cease on 5W this week on the night of the 23rd/24th.

You will need to swing you dishes round to 9E to continue with free channels, or get hold of a TNTSat (19E) or Fransat (5W) setup.

as in no more transmitted on 5W, or as in now encrypted only?
(In other words do I need to move the LNBs on the T55, or do I need to renew the Fransat subscription?)

Today's mini-Project is to move an offset LNB on SWMBO's personal dish from 5W to 9E.

As stated above. I managed to get a Fransat receiver with legal everlasting card. If you want more than 9E its worth getting ..

With the right equipment though (a PC DVB-S2 card that's multistream PLS compatible), there's tons of FTA channels on 5°W still. Including the France Télévisions channels! [emoji1]

It's a shame they're not regular FTA any more, but I for one am glad to finally have all 26-odd French digital terrestrial services without having to worry about TNTSAT or Fransat encryption.

Yes should be fine this is my spec
  • Dual-core, 2.3GHz Intel Core i3-6100U processor
  • 8GB RAM

I've found 4k runs the cpu at it highest 70/80 percent on my laptop, normal scanning and hd no problems,

I am wanting to use more than one card so I will be upgrading to a 4k gaming pc, but if just one card this laptop is fine
