The BIS TV Cinerama viewing card gives you twelve months of French television in the UK, and it is the larger of the two BIS packages. Cinerama is everything in the Panorama package plus the cinema channels, so if films are the reason you are subscribing, this is the one.
BIS TV is a subscription platform, which makes it the route to French television for people whose dish is on Hotbird or 5 degrees West rather than the free to air positions.
Read this first, your order cannot be processed without it
BIS TV now requires extra information from every new and existing subscriber before a card can be activated: your box make and model, and your CAM ID. We cannot activate the card without it.
So, after you have placed your order, note your order number and fill in the BIS activation form. That is the step people miss, and it is the reason a card sits unactivated. If you are not sure where to find your CAM ID, call us on 01622 535870 and we will walk you through it.
What you need
- A satellite system aligned to Hotbird 13 East or Eutelsat 5 West B at 5 degrees West
- A receiver or television with a CI slot
- A Viaccess Secure CAM module
The card is a subscription card, not a free to air card, so it does not work in a Fransat or TNTSAT box. Those are different platforms with their own cards.
Channels
Cinerama carries the full Panorama line up, including TF1, France 2, France 3, France 5, M6 and Arte along with a range of further French language channels, and adds the French cinema package on top. The line up is set by BIS TV and changes from time to time, so call us on 01622 535870 if you want the current list confirmed before you order.
