How can we receive English TV channels including ITV in Nice?

We have just bought a small apartment in Nice and intend to spend about half the year there.
We are really struggling to get installed internet and English TV channels including ITV and BBC.
Can somebody suggest the best company to use who will give us what we are looking for.
Thank you

You can have a look at skyinfrance on the internet. There is also filmon. I don't really watch much TV - either French or British - I use expatshield to download BBC iplayer programmes. Safeip will also give you a UK "presence" for this but UK availability is not 100% guaranteed.  Hope this little bit helps.

Thank you so much for all the information. We have bookmarked all the sites you have given us and will have a good look at them.

Thank you very much indeed

If you are keeping a UK presence it's easier to get Sky/Freesat - pick up a copy of French Connection from Nice station - it's full of adverts placed by people who can give you what you want.

Do you not have internet in France? It is normal to have TV + phone + internet. The package should include free phone calls to landlines around the world. Free seems to be the cheapest provider but Bouyges gets the best reports for customer service. Staff in the Nice shops should speak English.
