There have probably been many threads on French TV, but I am looking for a big conjunt
of French TV with long episodes in original version (no dubs, but actually from both France, Québec, the DOMs, etc.). I saw emk's log about some package for 4€ per month, but this is actually a bit expensive, considering the free stuff that, for example, RTVE as well as many Latin American countries like TN Argentina or TeleSur en Venezuela or RT en español in Russia give for free. I have a subscription to Atresplayer, which is 2,74€ a month and this is probably the maximum that I would be willing to go. To add another would be too much. So I was wondering if there is a big grouping of French programmes from Francophone television completely free regardless of where you watch it. I tried ARTE's website and I keep getting meessages like, «:( Erreur: Cette transmission n'est pas disponible dans votre pays», which is annoying considering that the more interesting ones always give this message. RTVE has endless stuff that is free and updated everyday, any equivalent in France or Québec? Also another caveat is that my connection seems to be unstable. It can range from 100 ms and sometimes peak at 2000 ms, so YouTube stuff is better, or at least anything that accompanies 144p. That was why I was glad that FRANCE24 added a livestream to their YouTube channel a few weeks ago--their direct livestream was unbearable for me, as it stopped every 3 seconds due to lag. My French has regrettably declined over the years because I do not watch much stuff in it as Spanish for example. Even a "less common" language like Dutch, is much easier for me to access because of a free government outlet Uitzending Gemist. The only sources that I have used over the years are the FRANCE24 and BFMTV, both of which cut off from live transmission on a very regular basis, so I have to continually reload the page. And these are only news, no dramas, or whatever because I cannot get them. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This is how it works in France, and I've never seen anyone offering a wide selection of French channels for free. :-( The only ways I know of to get these channels is to either get a box from Francophone TV, or to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that makes your computer appear to be in France. - There are free VPN services that you could use, but they may recycle your personal bandwidth for other users, some of whom may engage in illegal activities. Other free VPNs inject ads into the pages that you browse. Basically, running a video-capable VPN is pretty expensive, and a lot of the people who offer to do it for free seem to have some sort of dubious plan to pay for it. - There are paid VPN services from a variety of companies, which are in theory likely to cause less mischief because they don't want to alienate paying customers. Some of these probably have plans in your price range. - Here's a list of French channels available via VPN from VPNVision, a French-only VPN provider. - Here's a personalized movie guide for French TV from SensCritique. Anyway, if anybody gets a paid VPN (other than VPNVision) working with French television, please let us know. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I use UnoTelly. It's a DNS solution. Unlike a VPN, it only changes your IP address on specific sites at specific times, ie just when
they check your IP. This means you don't have to worry about it reducing your connection quality, stealing your data, security issues etc. The best part is it's not limited to one location, so you can access US only content, French only content, German only content etc. You can see the websites they un-block here. French sites are very well covered and you'll get access to lots of other languages as well. Cost is $4usd a month. (this is perfectly legal, all it's doing is pretending you're in a different place than you actually are) Edited by AlexTG on 23 June 2015 at 3:38pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I get the same message when I want to watch Arte en direct but I checked a minute ago and I can freely watch videos from the +7 section. Maybe it will work for you too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Do you just mean using a VPN service to access French replay/on demand on the internet? I use cyberghost's paid VPN for a couple of pounds a month, and have no trouble accessing Netflix, ARTE,M6,TVF1, Canalplay etc. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Since the original poster was in the UK, you might want to check out purchasing a French Satellite Tv reciever. You could also get a French FreeSat if you have a dish, or buy one off ebay and point it to the coordiantes to get FreeSat from France. This might work outside of the European Geographical area, but I don't know.
If you look around there are a lot of sites which hold this type of information http://www.dishpointer.com/2008/freesat-self-installation/ EDIT: CAVEAT: I haven't done this personally, although I've spoken to people who claim to have, and I know at one person British Ex-Pat who watched UK TV in France with FreeSat.

I paid for, and regularly use, Private Internet Access VPN. I paid about $40 for a one-year subscription, and did plenty of research before choosing a VPN. You can choose which country you'd like to be "within" when you turn the VPN on, and can change with a click. When I tried to access French TV without the VPN, got the typical "Vous n'etes pas..." and nothing would play. With the VPN turned on, and France chosen as the access country, can play anything available for free in France. It's worth the money to me just for this multi-country access. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
