Hallo, thanks for your extremely informative site. Not the first time I've used it. Having just moved to Sark in the CI, I was researching channels and transmitters for aerial choice / alignment. I have noticed that the Channels for Les Touillets given here are different from what Freeview Detailed Coverage Checker says (and what my tuner says). Channels should be PSB1 C32, PSB2 C33, PSB3 C48.
Cheers, Mike

Mike: Unfortunately the owner of this website hasn't managed to update a lot of the transmitter frequency changes that took place as part of the 700MHz clearance over the last few years. The Freeview Detailed Coverage Checker should always be relied upon as the definitive source over any 3rd party website such as this.
