good to see the channel islands transmitting to the sea, no islands.

@cutterschoicenotmine No they transmit from the mainland to the Channel Islands using a microwave link for networked ITV progs from mainland UK to be transmitted on Channel TV nerd!

All im saying that the the Channel islands are completely missing from the map geographically. Anyways its a good video, notice how email here was implemented back in 1984

@AnthonyUK Thinking about ORACLE on Channel Television and Channel 4, was ORACLE available via the same microwave links or did Channel Television always have their own teletext service?
