All this stuff is complete mumbo jumbo to me so a couple of simple questions.
I have BBC Radio 4 on an internet radio from get up 'till go to bed, would that be affected if the worst should happen?
If I lost TV via satellite it would only be for the evening but would You Tube be affected as I use that a lot?
Here’s the 3rd of the couple, I have a Fransat box for French tv and radio, would that be lost?
Don’t worry about being technical, I would simply print off anything and take it down to Eddie. 
Amazon UK have the Manhattan Aero, generally, but it is out of stock now. I probably want to somehow get one delivered to France, in the most likely event that I can’t get a satellite dish to work (due to obstruction) at my new place in Chars.

Thr smart DNS sounds good too. I dont know if I can edit that on my TV. This morning’s trip into town is for satellite cable as the current piece has degraded in the sun over the years, so it wasnt my Panasonic after all. Annoying as I have 50m drums of it back in the UK.
Thanks very much Hairbear, all understood, brilliant explanation, thanks.
The Manhattan Aero is on Amazon UK but only for delivery to a UK address. It disappears if you enter a French delivery address. I’m going over to the UK in two weeks and will get one for myself from Richer Sounds. I’d offer to get another but I’m flying with just a small backpack and OH already has a list of things to shoehorn in 
Edit: It was back in stock when I looked a few minutes ago.

Many modern TVs allow you to change the DNS servers. If it’s android based it definitely should.

I remember a chap on another forum years ago who had a coat with loads of pockets so he could bring lots of things without going over the then 10kg bag allowance. His coat weighed another 10kg on its own

A few sellers have them on ebay too, around £95.
No worries, I have friends and family coming over. Otherwise I’m heading back for my mother’s birthday later in the year. Cheers.

This reminds me of when I owned a Citroen DS19 in the US about 20 years ago and was trying to restore it. I was trying to get in the good graces of the cognoscenti and offered to buy and bring back a pair of brake pads for a virtual friend who was eventually (I hoped ) going to refill some spheres for me.
Somehow, I managed to get my hands on the right pads from an ebay seller who shipped them post restante to a PO in Paris, which was closed for repairs and I tracked them down at another PO. When we were flying out of France, I absent-mindedly let my wife pack and she put them in the carry-on bag. When we went through security at CDG, the guy just dumped them in the bin. Oh shit- he probably assumed there were Semtex or C-4. The car never got to that stage of restoration as it was just too rusty at that point in my life to deal with.
