If you mean Freeview and not Freesat, then remember that France now only use HD on all their systems so unless your BV7 has an High Definition Freeview decoder then you will not be able to watch French TV via Freeview. Satellite TV is also only in available in High Definition and all the major channels are also Encripted.
