Adrian, L Band is a DAB broadcast band situated up at 1200 Mhz or maybe 1400 Ghz. I'd imagine at those frequencies range of DAB must be even more local than band III which we use in the UK. Not sure if and when we will adopt band L in the UK, but I note some sets, including the SonysSony setss have it. I believe it is used in germany iand northern Europe. I'd guess there's a chance of getting some UK DAB in France if you live in Normandy and around Calis, but it would likely have to be a sensitive reciever and a favourable position at that.

The DAB system is a network of relatively low power transmitters known as a Single Frequency Network that make up the coverage. I forget exactly what the range is but it is not anywhere near that of traditional AM or even FM transmitters that blast out coverage. Suffice to say those trasmissions are not likely to reach the shores of France in any form you are likely to be able to pick up reliably. I don't believe DAB has taken off in any great way in France although other European countries do use it. In the UK we use band three (what the old 405 line TVs used to use) for our DAB whilst in Europe they can often use L band as well so sets brought here would not necessarily recieve European stations as many cheaper sets do not includee L band coverage.
