We now have TV!
It was a step by step process that started with the idea that in the winter, when it is dark and cold and we are 8kms away from night time entertainment, playing DVDs on the player that M&A gave us would be a nice thing to do. So the plan was formed to relocate the little tele from The Knoll to Nantilly. Step two was the thought that if the Freesat footprint reached the Charente Martime and since the previous owners left a sateliite dish on the house it could be an easy job to point it at Astra 28 and get those channels. (It does and it was) Step three; the government has introduced a TV licence tax that is added to the Taxe D'Habitation and one has to pay it and then persuade the Maire that you don't have a TV, not even a UK one incapable of receiving French tele and only plays DVDs!
Step four, five, six and seven, dish moved, Freesat box bought, tele relocated and last night I watched the ten o'clock news.
