I don't know if it's national or just local because they're broadcasting such a weak signal, but after yesterday's constant technical problems it isn't even receivable in my area now.

They're hoping to start next month - apparently they're currently looking at getting a DAB licence, and will be broadcasting nationally judging by this article:

It's broadcasting on TV but the signal's too weak in my area to pick it up. Maybe I'm just too far from London, though there's a stronger signal here for London Live.

Can I just ask if you're watching this on Freeview? I live in Cheshire, and used to have Freeview on the spare TV in the other room and was regularly having issues with picture freeze and sometimes a total blank screen, even with the BBC channels. However I now have Freesat on that same TV, and never had problems since. GB News is fine as well - Channel 216.

Yes, freeview - though yesterday that and Al Jazeera (I never watch it but noticed it was the preceding channel on the dial and checked it) were the only channels I tried without any receivable signal. In the summer when it's really hot reception here gets worse the further down the dial you go, but yesterday wasn't a bad reception day.

I didn't see the first edition of Piers Morgan's Life Stories where Dame Joan Collins was interviewed. But I have set to record this coming Sunday night a new edition where he is interviewing her again. I'll be interested to see if Dynasty is talked about, but especially The Colbys (as she apparently refused to have anything to do with the spin-off).

As season two of Guilt is due to air soon it's a good time to see season one on iPlayer if you missed it first time
