About Channel Island

The Channel Islands are an archipelago in the English Channel, off the French coast of Normandy. They are divided into two Crown Dependencies: the Bailiwick of Jersey, which is the largest of the islands; and the Bailiwick of Guernsey, consisting of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm and some smaller islands. Historically, they are the remnants of the Duchy of Normandy.

  2. Put it this way. If you are watching TV without Express VPN, it's like trying to travel the world without a passport. You're not going to get very far. You might be able to go to some lovely bits of the UK, maybe perhaps the Channel Islands, but not much further than that. Streaming services like Netflix show you a small fraction of a global library of content. It's exactly that.
