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.
MULTIROOM
Standard installation of Fransat is supplied with one set top box connected to a single TV. However many of our customers want access to their French TV channels in more than one room. We offer a multitude of packages to meet any requirement.
Watching different channels in multiple rooms
For each room you want to view different channels in will require a dedicated set top box. However multiple set top boxes can be served from just one satellite dish. Additional set top boxes are supplied a discounted prices. Additional set top box installations will invariably incur extra costs.
Watching the same channels in different rooms.
If you only ever want to watch one channel at a time at your property but may want to do this on different TV’s then this may be the option for you. If you already have a home distribution system you can almost certainly add Fransat to your existing system at minimal cost.
If you do not already have this in place we can offer tailored solutions for your individual needs. We offer both analogue (Standard Definition) and HDMI (High Definition) distribution options. Below are sample packages that may meet your requirements. The permutations of what you may require are endless so if you would like to discuss your individual needs please contact us for friendly, professional advice.
