We are moving to Alderney and wonder as they are the most northern of the Channel islands. Would it be possible to pick up a digital signal from a UK transmitter. I would like to view the Yesterday channel, which is not available on Freesat. Alderney used to pick up analogue signals from the UK in the past so can it be done these days.

In Alderney we have a Freeview Repeater that relays the FREMONT Point main transmitter. The Channel Islands don't have all the channels like the other main transmitters do. We have to resort to seeing some on Freesat. But some like Yesterday are not free. Our biggest problem is every so often the BBC transmitter, or the ITV one shuts off. Normally not both together, it can be for a few seconds or for several minutes or an hour or more. Considering we pay a licence fee its a very poor service from the local transmitter.

Do Freesat units enable you to load channels not listed by Freesat. There are many viewable channels on an old Sky box which has a one off charge for a SKY card for £25. I would like to record some of these with a Freesat recorder by Panasonic.
