    I'm in Derbyshire, right in the middle of all the problem areas, don't know why it was okay for us. I live in the middle of nowhere, maybe the Channel 5 signal just can't cope with buildings!

    That's because you were probably watching in HD (A channel I didn't realise they had).

    When I switched, it was Round 4. There was no announcement on the normal Channel 5, just blank and then switch back on.

    I happened in Surrey as well.

    Though when I switched to the HD Channel it was fine.

    Happened in the North Sea. Cut off during round 2, came back on towards the end of round 5.

    Hopefully, in time, we can piece together a national map of where Channel 5 blacked out that fateful night.

    Keep up the good work fellas!!!

    He hired out a pedalo from bridlington and got a bit carried away. Luckily he had his portable on him so didn't miss the card!!!
