Archive:List of channels on Free (December 2004)
Sourced from this
This is a lineup from the beginning of Freebox TV. TF1 and M6 weren't aired until 5th January 2008 due to carriage disputes (Free wanted to air TF1 in it's basic package, but TF1 wanted to be a subscription channel using a TPSL decoder). Also, the channels are mostly limited, as the more popular channels (including Canal J, MCM, Planète, Télétoon, Eurosport etc.) were IPTV exclusives to either CanalsatDSL or TPSL. At the time, Free gave access to the Canal+ bouquet and CanalsatDSL, in addition to it's own package.
