Live in France and bought Thomson digital box 8 years ago linked to Satellitedish. We have lost our TV stream channels, Radios - BBC 1,2,3 and 4 and sometime back Channel 5 also. Is the box so out of date now that it will not pick up freeview channels as before? What options are there for a free freeview service to our home in France? Technology seems to have moved on at such a pace that we have been left behind!! For example the new FreeSat boxes? What do they do?! We believe that buying a digital box in UK and using it in France will not help us to access UK freeview channels - is this so?? Basically, can we retrieve the channels by re-tuning somehow (though we have tried on numerous occasions recently and come up with loads of unwanted channels!!) or will we need to get ourselves another digital box - from where? What options are available when buying in France
Look forward to an answer!!
