TelevisionFrench channels Canal+ and Arte show some English-language programmes (particularly feature films), however for more English-language television is available with satellite TV. Canal Satellite and TPS, the two main digital satellite providers in France have merged. Between them, there are many channels, with a reasonable number of English-language programmes, including feature films, comedy, TV dramas, and documentaries - together with some English news feeds (from sources such as CNN, BBC World, Sky News and CNBC). Alternatively, it is possible to access UK-based free-to-air (FTA) programming on the same satellite that broadcasts Sky Digital. Please note, however, that there is no legal way to access encrypted programming on that satellite while in France (such as Sky Digital's premium channels accessible only through a Sky subscription package, or those channels that may only be watched in the UK using a satellite receiver with a free-to-view - FTV - card installed).
