Listening to Radio On Sky

wadacrack

I recently added BBC Radio 5 live to my other channels on Sky, but is their any way I xcan now listen to the radio stations while watching TV(a different station than the radio channel)

is their a way around this? Perhaps getting a Sky Gnome.

Load 'TuneIn Radio' app on your smartphone or tablet

It's brilliant

I have just done that.. Its v good but much slower than satellite broadcast. I need it for live football. BBC Five Live feed is about 5 seconds faster than tv. I need this for work purposes, but also watch the game on tv

There's no way to watch one channel and listen to another on Sky. The only workaround I can think of is to watch the channel on Sky Go, but this will also be slightly behind the live broadcast.

Get a basic FTA satellite receiver and listen to 5 live using that. It's not possible to do what you asked with a Sky box

Sky Gnome won't work - it lets you listen to what's on the receiver. When you change channel on the Gnome, it changes channel on the receiver. Best option is a separate FTA receiver - maybe get one with text display (rather than just channel number) if it's going to be exclusively for radio.

I'm a big fan of TuneIn/ Internet Radio, but a lot of sport coverage on 5live (and other stations) is geoblocked on the internet where as it isnt/ can't be on Satellite.

if you will only be listening to 5 live then go as basic as you can.
