Why can't we get Freeview or DAB in the Channel Islands?

The digital transmissions use a different frequency bandwidth which - for the Channel Islands - would interfere with French broadcasts.

Equally, there are parts of the UK which also cannot receive digital broadcasts at the moment.

It has not been ruled out that the Channel Islands will be served in the future, but this may be some years away yet. This is owing to decisions being made between the British and French governments.
