I want to purchase a FreeSat HD receiver to use in France, when we take the caravan over there at the end of July.
I only want to pick up the UK channels, so will any FreeSat HD receiver suffice?

I would have thought so AA, but the size of dish may be a consideration :-\
But why would you want to go to France?? Carnt see any French restaurants serving up custard ;D

To comply with licence restrictions, the BBC have to run off a transponder with a purposely narrowed footprint. So even for SD, you're going to need a big dish. I would imagine the (seemingly weaker (based on a Sky HD box I was kicking due to HD issues)) HD would be even more problematic.
You're on holibobs, stuff the telly. Its all crap anyway.

I've already got a big dish, my cheap receiver has given up the ghost.
Mrs AA likes the tele :)

keep your eye on lidls as they sometimes sell a portable system that i believe runs off 12v and there prices are usually quite good.
