The answer

Listening to theba or watching it on TV or through a loudspeaker is not sufficient without being present at the mosque and performing the prayer with the congregation. This is because the fundamental principle of Friday prayer is that it should be established in the mosque from which the call to prayer is made, and because the objective is not merely to hear the khutba but to witness the Muslim congregation and their Imam.

If the mosque is only half an hour away by car, then it is not obligatory to go there, but going there is better and brings greater reward.
