This morning (Thurs) I switched on at about 9:30 AM BST and was greeted with fairly strong R1 ( -ve offset). There was some sound as well but less strong. The video part was strong enough to produce pictures above the local interference. It looked like a wide-screen form film was being shown. The opening faded by about 9:45, but when I tried listening again about 11 AM I heard R1 video (-ve offset) but weaker than before - and I could not make a trace of a picture above the interference.

I wonder if this afternoon might be better? In the past, morning, burbling along, activity is often followed by stronger stuff later.
