    So early August equates to mid-June on this occasion. :)
    I have tuned in but there is no picture, nor EPG information.

    There's a difference between actually launching and getting a placeholder on Freeview.

    Especially where Turner are concerned!

    Remember their first freeview channel?

    Gems TV or Quest +1 if there no other spaces that my guess anyway.

    But what about the "exciting new shows, unique characters and dynamic real-life situations." oh yeah I see what you mean. :)

    Going by the large amount of null packets, they could be trying to squeeze in a 14th video stream. Other than that, Community Channel is using donated capacity, it could possibly be moved elsewhere with fewer hours. Maybe moving Community Channel to the 5am to 8am slot available elsewhere on the multiplex and making alternative arrangements for "Party".

    Placeholder on Freeview EPG 68 from today (Bilsdale transmitter) - at least only spotted it today on a channel update. Broadcast on Arqiva A Mux alongside Pick, Dave, Really etc as stated above.

    I noticed when I switched to channel 68 the other night it briefly showed "Investigators" as the currently running programme, before changing to (no title). EPG testing, I assume?

    Are you sure it wasn't "The Investigator" in which case it could have been an EPG artefact from CBS Reality on LCN66 ?

    Yeah, it was listed as 'The Investigators: Series 1' for just 7-8am on July 1st. When I go to the channel there's a blank for 'Now' with said programme due to start at that time.

    I have just done a scan and it has been added as COM5/ArqA, so no change there, no picture or message though. There's still a couple of weeks to go to launch date.

    My comment was inspired by Tomee's post and based on my screen at the time being blank, nothing. Now I get the TV's message "Waiting" for several seconds, followed by the display of TruTV text and after a further delay, the logo.
