At least Channel One when that operated was doing something a bit different and invested in local news gathering. London Live seems to be generic lifestyle / entertainment news fluff and old TV shows that regularly recycle on existing channels or on-demand.
After seeing the schedule and viewer reports of it so far, i'm no longer bothered about receiving it.

As you say it's just fluff and I can't see why encryption was neccessary, most of the bought in stuff has already been repeated to death and broadcast FTA anyway!
