BBC coverage in france

I've decided to install proper satellite that will work with a Foxsat HD Freesat receiver.
Currently I have 2 dishes but they're both rusty.  I need to redo the cabling, and maybe install a new dish.

Near Versailles It will need to point to 28.2°E (It's actually 28.2° E of South, so if you're looking at a compass from the north it's 151.8° ) which covers Astra 2A/2B/2D & Eurobird 1 which are used
by Sky Digital, but there are loads of Free to Air channels (FTA) on them, so you don't need a subscription!

Here's a few useful links :
Loads of good info...

I will use this for aligning the dish.  http://www.lyngsat.com/tracker/astra2d.html

I'm thinking of getting a Selfsat flat antenna :  Apparently it works in parts of france:
