How can I access to a Telegram channel messages with a bot registered as channel admin?

I am trying to get all the messages from Telegram channel and display them in an ASP.NET webpage (c#)

I am able to get updates when new message sent directly to the bot:

var json = wc.DownloadString(" https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates");

but its not working for the channel.

unfortunately it's not possible yet.(they may come up with something in future) as admin you can just send messages to channel.
