Analogue TV - an important update

For anyone struggling to come to terms with using an anlaogue TV set here in France it's worth noting that all analogue TV transmitters in France will be swtiched off by/on November 30th 2011 as digital TV has now been introduced. There is a phased analogue shut-down starting this year. In other words, worrying about obtaining a compatible analogue set is getting a bit uneccessary. However, you do need to make sure that any digital option that you obtain is compliant with the French digital TV service.

There's information about possible TNT pit-falls in the article "Will my old TV work in France?" in the "TV - terrestrial" section, written in January 2008.
