Who else got caught out with French TV!

Hello
We don't watch a lot of TV but do watch BFM in the mornings, they had been mentioning the switch to HD but as our set in the Kitchen was reletively new we thought nothing of it. Then yesterday .....blank screen! And then no tuners in any shops either as everyone must have had the same :-)

On checking our gites they both need either a tuner or a new saterlite box, both have LCD flat screen TVs
So the cost of yesterday is 2 x TNT HD tuners 1 x TNT HD Sat box (little gite is low) and 3 x HDMI cables Total circa 200€

ARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It's no problem, just buy a new set top box and connect via HDMI cable if new TV or Scarf , most supermarkets are sold out, we got ours in Darty.

Now that's a question, our two other newer house UK TVs were OK. It was a small Toshiba LCD one which had the problem and the older ones in our gites.
