Hello
First of all, you need to change the LNB (the feedhorn) of the satellite dish and replace it with a twin for a maximum of 2 TVs or a quad for a maximum of 4 TVs.
The twin or quad LNB allows you to watch a different channel on each TV.
After that, you need a satellite receiver for each TV (TNTSAT for Astra or Fransat for AB3).-
To have access to the full 25 free national channels via satellite, there is only one solution: FRANSAT, as TNTSAT has been excluded by the CSA for being non-compliant and incomplete. Beware of bad advice promoting Astra and the lies by omission or incompetence of sellers/stores... (AB 3?)
Method 1: a dish on Eutelsat 5WA at 5° West with a single LNB with 2 or 4 outputs for 2 or 3/4 independent coaxial cables and as many Fransat HD receivers (Mpeg 4) or CI+ triple-standard TVs, for Neotion or Aston Fransat CAM modules, with built-in satellite tuners (DVB-S2). Check the lists of TVs on LCD Compare)
Fransat offer without subscription: http://fr.kingofsat.net/pack-fransat.php
+ 10 other free channels + possible subscription option for Bein Sport HD and Bis TV. -
Here are the modern CI+ televisions that work (without the addition of an external satellite terminal) on the Eutelsat 5WA satellite, AB3 no longer existing...

To access Fransat (or options Bis TV or Bein Sport), also consider this purchase:

If you don't equip the television with this Pcmcia module, you only get the clear satellite channels...
