bbc radio in Dublin

Wheels · 2008-02-26 00:14:20

I can pick up BBC Radio One the odd time in Dublin but is there any way of tuning it in from the Fairview area? I do have Magnet but I don't think I can link the radio stations from that to my sound system so I'd like to ideally tune it into the radio tuner.

You can get it by hooking up to NTL

short of getting an external Ariel, I don't think so. There's a spot on lower Gardiner street where it comes in loud and clear for about 10m and then goes again, I always wonder about that.

If you have wireless you could buy an internet radio, e.g. LOGIK IR100 in Currys, and this will give you access to BBC1 and thousands of other stations. Sound quality is not as good, but reception is clear as a bell unless of course there is a net or router problem. I have one since last summer and think it is great, and a couple of mates have bought them after seeing it which is about as good a recommendation as you'll get. There are other models available, and Peats have some higher spec (or just nicer looking) models.

Doesn't have to be wireless, you just need a router to hook to the modem I think

Maybe some of them can work by direct link, but the LOGIK IR100 has to have a wireless connection.

be careful when ur looking at different models though cause BBC output a lot of their radio stream in Realaudio format which a lot of these devices can't handle

How much do they cost? Are there other shops in Dublin selling internet radios? what kind of money?

Thanks.

Currys, Dixons and PC World. Any DSG group store.

As discussed here.

Very limited stock at this stage, it appears to be discontinued.

It's a fantastic piece of equipment though, if you can get it.

Anyone know how I can listen to the footy commentary live. When I try to access this using internet and/or Real Player it knows I am outside of UK and I am denied.

I read somewhere that the possible use of a internet open proxy might help but I tried to set one up and it failed also.

TIA

Newstalk often use the BBC 5 Stream on Sunday Afternoons.

They are today for the Liverpool match, for example.

Today FM have some as well (I think). Other than that, go to a website like http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html and get a UK proxy. It's pretty tedious though cause they're often dead within minutes of being posted up but you do get the odd one that can last for months (I'd post one but I don't have any working ones at the mo!)

I bought a satellite dish in Aldi for 79.99 and can pick up all BBC radio and TV stations from the Astra sat as well as all the other free stations (ITV, Sky News Classic FM etc). The BBC even has Radio 5 and 6. Best few quid I ever spent.
