French TV

I was asked, in response to last Monday's post, whether there were other French TV channels available? Certainly there are in France (and other French speaking nations). Outside those countries it gets more complex - but there are now a number of apps for tablets which allow you to watch live TV from the domestic channels.

I subscribe to Vision TV Net. [Which also provides packages of Portuguese, Polish, Greek and Arabic channels]. The French package includes

- France 24 [The French language version]
- Eurochannel [programmes including films and documentaries in various European languages dubbed or subtitled in French]
- France 2 [one of the main domestic channels]
- France 3 [another of the main domestic channels - but more regional content]
- France 5 [family programming]
- MCM Top [music channel]
- TV5 Monde
- The Museum Channel [lifestyle and culture]
- MyZen TV [the Well Being Channel]

All of these are available on my iPad. The subscription also covers my desktop - but fewer channels are available.
