Is it not possible to listen outside England

Post by trevor1973 »

Living in Ireland and it seems you can only get this on DAB in the UK - is that correct - not online

Does this work or is it geo-blocked?
http://talksport.com/radioplayer/live/t ... ml?popup=1

It is also on tune in, but that is definitely geo-blocked.

VPN would be the way to go if nothing else works.

Someone said it was geo-blocked for them when they were trying to hear the cricket last weekend.

Maybe it is just live sport they geo-block?

It might be something like that. I know that the TS premier league match commentary was blocked here in Northern Ireland on DAB for some god knows what reason a year or two ago, and it cant have been for geographical reason, even in an oversight as UTV were naturally HQed in Belfast. Not that it was a great loss or anything, but strange all the same. The only thing I can think of was they excluded, or rather, scarificed, us to stop those sourthern leeches glomming off the commentary. Which is a little bizarre because anyone in Dublin or even Dundalk would struggle to get a DAB signal on the NI multiplex, especially back then. Hell, I live only 10 miles as the crow flies from Belfast city centre and could barely pick a usable DAB signal up back then.

Some live stuff is blocked - so use HOLA to block your IP address. Otherwise, all the chat shite is available.
