Do you have to tune in the channels when you set it up (for sky?) We are thinking of getting it for when we go to France, but no idea how fiddly it is?

Have done a search on here but nothing came up!

Check the links for Satellite for Caravans that I and others have posted in this thread. All the info you should need is there. However, the Astra North beam covers most (if not all) of France, so the same tuning you use in UK should work in France - although you'll probably need a larger dish.
