How to
receive BBC
programs
in France

BBC programs (TV and Radio) are broadcast from satellites ASTRA 2D and ASTRA 2B.

Any Digital Satellite Receiver for free programs and for Astra 2 will do the job. Get the cheapest you can.

They are available in almost any DIY shop in France for around €60.

Check that you have a place in your garden where you can see the sky when looking (horizontally) 28° east of due South, and (vertically) at 30° from the ground.
