Classic FM BLOCKED TO LISTENERS IN IRELAND

I notice that I am unable to receive classic FM via internet radio as it appears to be geoblocked since we are not in UK. What a joke this copyright issue? Using a vpn it’s possible to receive and it’s also available on ch. 721 on satellite. Anyone out there in the same boat?

BBC 3 you can listen to, or even lyric fm.

You can do a lot better than classic fm, especially with Internet only. Look for Venice classic radio... It's excellent.

Or Pure Classic - it's Irish according to Tune In.

Just find the postcode for somewhere in Britain, like a Tesco store in Cardiff or something, and use that every time the Classic FM player looks for a postcode.

The app works fine for me in the Rep. of Ireland. without any postcode.

I find P2 Sveriges Radio is better than Classic FM and Lyric FM, imo :P
