The French public broadcaster France Télévisions will upgrade all of France 3’s regional channels to HD from this coming Tuesday, April 5.
The move follows a new agreement between France Télévisions and Eutelsat for capacity on the Eutelsat 5 West A satellite and will see the 24 regional channels become available for the 2 million homes receiving Fransat, Eutelsat’s free-to-view TV platform for French homes.
The move is part of the complete switch of France’s DTT channels to MPEG-4 HD on the night of the 4th to 5th of April.
Fransat viewers will be the first satellite viewers to experience the benefits of enhanced sound and video quality of France 3’s full roster of regional channels.
