How to Restart Frequency Search for Niort Maisonnay Transmitter to Receive France 3 Poitou-Charentes Programs

If you receive television via DTT from the Niort Maisonnay transmitter, you will have to restart a frequency search in order to continue to receive your regional programs from France 3 Poitou-Charentes.

During broadcasts of France Bleu filmed morning shows from La Rochelle and Poitiers, if you receive television via your roof antenna (TNT), you will need to restart a channel search (automatic scan) in order to reprogram your television. But don’t panic, we explain everything to you in this article.

Previously, the signals emitted from the Niort Maisonnay transmitter “watered” a large part of the Niort and La Rochelle region. If you chose key n°3, you displayed the programs of the editions of France 3 Poitou-Charentes. If you chose key n°32, you displayed the programs from the France 3 Pays de la Loire editions, as well as those from the local filmed version of France Blue Loire Ocean.

Due to the arrival of the morning show from France bleu La Rochelle, and in order not to “invade” the inhabitants of the south of Vendée, it became necessary to create another broadcast channel (via a new group of antennas) for viewers who receive regional programs from France 3 Pays de la Loire. You must then change the reception frequency via an automatic scan of your television. Depending on your residential area, you will then receive your favorite program (that of France 3 in your region).

Turn on your TV Press the “Menu” or “Home” button on the remote control. A drop-down menu appears on the screen Select the “Configuration” submenu, which may also be called “Main menu”, “System menu”, “Tools menu”, “Adjustment menu” or System adjustment” Select “Installation “, which can also be called “Install Channels”, “Scan” or “Rescan” Choose the function “Reinstall / scan all channels”, which can also be called “Auto Scan”, “Clear Channels”, “Reset channels”, or “Installation of services. Do not choose “Update” You may then be asked for your password. If so, enter it and continue. If you do not know it, enter 0000, 1111, 1234, 8888 or 9999 (the reset password is normally indicated in your instructions). If your equipment warns you that old channels may be deleted, this is normal Press “Start” or “Search” Wait for the channel search to complete, which takes a few minutes Press “Menu” , “Finish”, “Exit”, or “Confirm” to exit the installation menu Check the presence of the channels: F2 in key no. 2, F3 in key no. 3, etc.

It was in 1960 that this transmitter was put into service to offer television programs to residents “of the west”. A small revolution. Originally 300 meters high, the current pylon measures 330 meters. It is as tall as the Eiffel Tower.

In the mid-1950s, the RTF (French Radio-Television) chose to install a transmitter pylon which would make it possible to broadcast sound and image programs throughout Poitou-Charentes (over a radius of 150 km to my round). Our colleagues from the New Republic explain that the transmitters in Nantes or Le Mans were too far away to completely cover the territory of Poitou-Charentes. At this time, the population will be passionate about the work and the installation of this equipment. Even if the number of televisions was still quite low in 1960 (around 7,000), viewers were watching the programs offered.

In 1989, the old pylon will be replaced by a new one, equipped with new technologies and antennas (TV, radio, TNT, mobile telephony, etc.)
