sometimes they don't pick up if you are too near buildings
london is a bastard to get a clear signal in because the buildings are so close together
but at you sitting in your front room trying to get it to work
it needs to see the sky before it'll do anything mate
and sometimes it needs to be stationary in order to pick up the signal, thats why you sometimes lose it when you are tanking it along and it won't come back
