You can get the card from Sky for �20.

Whether it works in France - I don't know!

You need to look at http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/astra2d.html to see what size dish you need. BBC and others use this tight beam to stop people abroad watching UK channels. (Cost of rights to show Hollywood films, sports etc). Dont tell Sky the card is in France. They will turn the card off, even if it's only freewiev.
