Good-natured friend from Paris on way to get TV (8)

I believe the answer is:
amicable
'good-natured' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'friend from paris on way to get tv' is the wordplay.
'friend from paris on way' becomes 'ami' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tv' becomes 'cable' (cable is a kind of tv).
'ami'+'cable'='AMICABLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amicable that I've seen before include "Civil" , "warm" , "Friendly, unthreatening" , "Friendly, reasonable" , "Of friendly and affable disposition" .)
