I just wanted to share this with you.I am staying in a B&B in Broadstairs,Kent.The antenna is facing the transmitter south of here(Ramsgate I think?)but can "see" France.I am receiving all the UK channels but from 800 - 821 are all French channels......though some are scrambled or HD channels that this tv can't pick-up but the channels are;
800 TF1 HD
801 France 2 HD
802 M6HD
803 France 2.....................viewable
804 France 5.....................viewable
805 France O....................viewable
806 LCP............................viewable
807 France 3.....................viewable
808 Opal TV......................viewable
809 TF1.............................viewable
810 NRJ 12....................... viewable
811 Eurosport
812 LCI
813 TMC............................viewable
814 TF6
815 ARTE..........................viewable
816 CANAL+
817 CANAL+ CINEMA
818 CANAL+ SPORT
819 PLANETE+
820 TPS Star
821 CFOOT
They are obviously all in French but have a strong signal here.As they are all programmed into the tv I am assuming they are always available due to the cross-sea signal path and not due to weather conditions as they were there last night and now 24 hours later.I wonder how many other people reading this get Freeview channels from the Continent along the English east coast? Just wanted to share with you.

Hi.I only refered to these French channels as Freeview as I am receiving them via the B&B tv.No I don't get teletext on TF1 or any channel.

A PVR should record either the teletext or subtitle stream, whichever is present. Subtitles have nothing to do with MHEG5, they are included in the digital tv standard.
I can see the logic in recording a subtitle stream relevant to the programme being recorded. I didn't think for a second that you would wish to record an interactive data stream for use after the event. :rolleyes:

I receive Dutch free to air TV in Lincolnshire,and others in Lincolnshire do too, as do DXers in Norfolk and Suffolk and Essex.
My signals can come in for days at a time, or just visit for a few hours, depedning on weather conditions, but the distance from the Lincolshire coast to Holland is significantly greater than from Ramsgate to France. I have a direct sea path with nothing else in the way, which helps of course.
Best regards

My parents have an aerial pointing to France purely to receive TNT. They have had a French capable TV since the mid 80's...started off with a small B/w portable, and now just use a standard Toshiba flatscreen DTV
They can be affected by weather or atmospherics but they are there on a permanent basis.
Even the HD ones are viewable.
Dutch Freeview?
Belgian Freeview? (:cool:)
SECAM doesn't exist since digital TV. French capable just means the text and subtitles can be received.
