Hello,

I would like to install a satellite dish and receiver in Loulé to receive French TNT.
How much could this cost?
Thank you for your response.

    Hello,
    The best option is the "Fransat" bouquet on the Eutelsat 5° West satellite.
    If your TV has a satellite tuner and a CI+-labeled PCMCIA interface, only a module and its "lifetime" card will be necessary.
    Advantage: better quality, no external decoder, fewer cables, one remote control. Example of module + card:
    See at the top of the list on the following link
    Otherwise, separate decoder:

    However, for Loulé (the south of Portugal, right?), you would need to oversize your dish (1m would be good) to be more comfortable in case of heavy cloud cover, rain, etc.

    Do as I do but don't imitate me.

      You're welcome. I would like to add that the module + card or the decoder must be purchased in France, while the satellite dish can be bought in Portugal...

      Thank you for this information because I was planning to buy all that over there! Do you think it's better to buy the decoder in France and have the satellite dish installed in Portugal?
      I read in the manual for the decoder I have here in France (STRONG SRT 7404) that the use of the decoder is strictly limited to mainland French territory!
      Because if it's possible, I might as well take the decoder with me, which will save me one expense!
      Thank you for your advice.
