From February 15 the dark areas of the French territory that cannot receive the sign of the
TDT (
TNT in the Gallic country) will have the option to gain access the channels
TF 1
HD,
France 2
HD, M6
HD and Art
HD across the fleet of satellites of
SES Astra.
For it they will have to be provided with a decoder that allows the reception of the high definition and which satellite dish is faced towards the orbital position of 19,2nd East.
For the time being, only two models of decoder of the mark
Sagem are available for his buy at prices that go from the 200 to 400 euros. The million subscribers of the offer
TNT Sat with his decoders sold up to the date is not compatible with the norm MPEG-4 that
descodifica the sign in high definition.
Those viewers who have a free recipient provided with the compatibility with MPEG-4 will not also be able to gain access to the sign of
TNT HD, given that four French channels will be codified under the system of conditional access
Viaccess 3.0.
