The easy answer is "use the box provided by TPS" you can hack it to
programme other free to air channels instead of the pathetic selection
provided.

If you want a PVR then you need a DVB-S with a card slot and then you
have to get TPS or CS and their box comes with the subscription
anyway...

Arte is on Eutelsat I think. 

I have an analog sat tuner for TF1 and company and a digital card for
free to air. Both tuners share a motorised dish at the moment but a
second DiSEqC 1.2 motorised dish is on the short list.

So then she can watch Michel Drucker and me the BBC =:-p
