TNT is the French equivalent of our Freeview. I bought mine about 12 months ago in Carrefour Lille for about £100. No forms to fill in, just take it to the check out. The receiver can also pick up all the other Astra FTA channels and also be set to selected FR3 regional programmes. I believe that it is sometimes possible to pick up French TNT programmes on the south coast with a UK Freeview receiver.
