FRANSAT updated its broadcast encryption on 27 April 2026 to enhance security. Following this change, some older HD set-top boxes will no longer work and will lose access to FRANSAT DTT channels.
To check compatibility:
View this page of incompatible boxes, or
Go to channel 999 on your FRANSAT box and wait up to 30 minutes for an on-screen confirmation.
If your viewing card is still valid, you can keep using it - just insert it into a compatible new box.
We have limited stock of compatible set-top boxes available from £99.95 (including delivery), or box and viewing card packages from £129.95 if your card is due to expire.
If necessary - visit the Store to order.
