That's mean

At 11am this morning the French government announced that, post a hard Brexit, they will be employing signal blocking technology to stop satellite TV broadcasts from the UK.

They say that, if the UK decides to leave with no deal, then its ties with the continent including its TV service will be at an end.

The response from the Spanish government is that they deplore this threat but unfortunately cannot prevent France from carrying it out. Since the TV signals pass over French territory, there is no way they can recover the signal for us.

The only way to receive UK TV in those circumstances will be via a VPN at a cost of over 100 Euros per month on top of any fees that the supplier charges.
