very helpful .. thanks..

all i want it for is five live sports extra really for the cricket etc.

Most of them are rather pricey though for just being used for one channel!

would anyone be able to recommend me any resellers of these things? I was looking at the pure pocketdab 1500 and i think it is what im after.

Prices for postage to ni are absolutely crazy though.

Anyone recommend any less common resellers than froggle would bring up??

Also does anyone have one of those pure radios? it reviews very well so im gonna go for it.

hi guys,

just received my pure pocketdab1500 in the post today after it failed to arrive in time for christmas!

Its a real tidy wee piece of kit and audio sounds absolutely superb.

One question though. Does 5live sports extra only appear when an event is actually being broadcast? At the minute I can receive all the BBC channels but sports extra isnt listed. I am hoping that it is just due to the fact that nothing is on air at the moment!

I am in N.Ireland and have checked the bbc coverage charts for my postcode and I should be able to receive all the channels.

Anyone got any ideas?
