    Hi all.

    I'm just looking for something that picks up BBC radio 5 for the football commentary on match day. As i'm in work during most matches and listening to it passes the time :)

    Are we able to pick it up in Dublin ?

    any help would be great. cheers.

    Others may know better. Best option imo would be an internet radio if wifi was available.

    After that something like this

    You should probably try out the walkman in a shop in Dublin to determine how good the signal is for radio 5 live.

    Did you ever consider a sat dish receiver?

    5 Live is on 909 kHz Longwave, so I guess look for something with that frequency band.

    Not really... BBC cuts off just as the match starts... and the company i work in monitor all traffic for security reasons and the boss said no streaming !! few people have been pulled in and warned about it.
