Plan B for TNT Sat subscribers to find TF1

One satellite can hide another. In the event that 1.8 million subscribers of Canal’s satellite service, TNT Sat, no longer have access to TF1 channels, the latter is looking for a way out, away from commercial channels. The two groups have been at loggerheads since September 2, when Canal+ suspended the broadcast of TF1 subsidiary channels in the absence of a financial agreement on the extension of the distribution contract.

The situation is unbearable for him. Especially since the opposite goes from opposite to opposite. Last Thursday, the Paris Court of Appeal ruled in favor of Canal+. The situation is becoming critical for TF1, which is seeing its audience decline. But the band has more than one trick up its sleeve. TNT Sat isn’t really the only satellite service bringing TV to white-collar residents. There are others, including Astra _ which uses the same satellite as TNT Sat. TF1 channels are available there for free. To carry out these types of projects, you need to be well versed in the world of satellites. However, the future head of TF1 is none other than Rodolphe Bellmer, the man who ran Eutelsat for nearly six years.

However, switching from one satellite service to another is not easy for subscribers. Achieving this requires a little manipulation, according to Satellifax. Have to run a new memorization of chains and… TF1 will appear again, with a different numbering of course. At the moment, TF1 remains tight-lipped about this procedure, but more and more information is circulating about it. With this trick, TF1 hopes to put additional pressure on Canal and force them to restore the signal. Each believes the other has more to lose in this matter. TF1 is trying to turn the tide in its favor, to force its partner and rival to concede.
