Thanks for your words of wisdom G, I had figured out all those options long
ago, and had really settled on the Tune In radio app until my dreams were
shattered the other night, and an American told me I needed to find an
alternative stream if I wanted to hear the game. It's really not important
in the grand scheme of things, but it is a sort of soap-box I've got these
days about sport and greed in general. Why should we have to purchase
everything to cover all eventualities me wonders?
But is it true that Freeview is going down the tubes, and being replaced
with something else? With that in mind, and the way our "dear" government
doesn't know its arse from its elbow, I'm not buying anything else digital
until we know it's going to last more than a couple of years, is accessible,
and won't cost the earth for the privilege. See, told you I have a soap-box
about it, just don't get me started so I can really rant!! (lol).
Kind Regards,

Hi
three suggestions that cost money sadly:
On your sky box you could take out a multi room option and listen to the
radio in another room or on headphones on a portable t.v., so you need to
upgrade sky subscription and purchase a cheapo portable telly.
Bog standard freeview boxes are not too expensive and if you know the
channel numbers for the radio stations you can enter them direct on a remote
- you still need to buy a cheapo telly though.
If you have a sky dish with a twin lmb you could get a freesat box which
means you can listen to the radio feeds on the second box via a cheapo
telly.
All these solutions require spending money but I think that apart from the
freesat option they will be less expensive than buyin a specialist box for
the blind, you know the one I mean available from a well known organisation
in Kings cross.
Cheers
