Have you tuned in the box ? It may also be that there is no signal where the van is sitting.

Silly question but Have you changed the input on the tv to i.e hdmi or scart depending on how the freeview box attaches the tv.Then auto tune.

You won't get any English TV in the Vendee using an aerial, you need a satellite dish and satellite receiver.

Agree with Robbie freeview is sent in the same way terrestrial tv was by a transmitter needing an aerial to receive it. I very much doubt that a uk transmitter will be strong enough to transmit to France. as above you will need a satellite dish and your sky box to receive uk tv
