Would a satellite radio help? Just thinking out loud.

Graham is quite right in suggest you are unlikely to get much joy from a
DAB set in France picking up UK stations.  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.
