Had a quick look there, RTE is very poor. I was surprised how good 4 OD was, shame about the poor selection of shows to watch though.

If you skip at all with the RTE player it goes out of sync which is really annoying when you have seen half a show. Picture quality is only ok 4OD is way better but it does seem to lack a lot of the shows the normal 4od has.

Still cant complain for a free service, when you consider the cost involved in getting the awful SKY service for Xbox360.

I went to my account settings and "activated" my system for video, logged out and then I signed into my usual Irish playstation ID, thats when RTE player showed up, and then when I went back into my new UK ID, the UK ones showed up.

Hope that helps

I posted this last month and it worked a charm for me and for others, not sure if its the problem you're having but its definitely worth a try

Account settings - "activate system"

i went into 'account management' and it has 'game' and 'video' in there. i activated 'game' but for video it just says 'this service is not avaible in your country. do you think it could be because my HD is full? i have been getting a little message saying there is less then 500mb left.

Lads the RTE Player only works on my 'master account', which isn't the main one I actually use.
It doesn't show in my other user account - Any way of changing this?
Or even is there a way of swapping master accounts?

Google isn't proving to be much help.

Thanks!

I used to always access RTE Player through the web browser and going to te.ie. works perfectly for me that way.

You don't pay for a British television license therefore you don't get it. That's the arguement anyway. There has been talk of making the iPlayer available worldwide on a subscription basis.

Exactly right. BBC iplayer and ITV player aren't accessible to us. unless you know a workaround.

Create a new user on the left of the XMB. then go to sign into the PSN. Create an account with the UK as the account type? Google an english address. Job done.
Reboot the PS3 and it should show up for you.

Cross media bar.
i.e. the main menu of the PS3.

Just create a new user, then create a new PSN account then select UK instead of Ireland for country. Once thats all done sign into your new account and 4oD should be there were RTE player was.

just set up a UK account and BBC, ITV, 4od all appeared after i reset my system, but 4od is the only one that works. The BBC have copped it and realised because an error show's up saying it cannot broadcast outside of the UK, it would seem they know the score. ITV player has an error message appear saying that the programme cannot be found, maybe they've copped on too. 4od works fine with good quality streaming although me personally i dislike it because of the lack of programmes that interest me.

Sucks. I ain't too bothered about 4oD to b honest, don't watch THAT much on Channel4, and I think most of what I watch wouldn't be as high a priority for 4oD as other stuff, so I ain't to bothered bout creating a UK account if 4oD is the only one that works.

I really want BBC and ITV players. I watch a lot of stuff on them, and when I miss stuff - like my darn Sky box switched over and the dvd of an ITV programme I was recording the other nite got an hour of a MTV channel instead! - I wanna be able to watch them on the players. I think it would be really good if we can get them.

As to the RTE one, the quality is crap, and they don't show much of anything. The one thing I missed once and went looking for on the player they were not showing, and I really thought they would have. It was an RTE created programme, and very popular etc but nope no dice. So I don't bother with the RTE player.

The BBC player is the same on the Wii. You can't get it at all if you are set to Irish. If you change your settings to UK you can get it, you can see what programmes are offered and all, but when you try to watch one it says not available in your area or some such. So no dice their either

No fair :mad:

Everytime I try to load a video on the 4OD app (UK account) it just goes back to the main screen, anyone else having this issue or know a way around it?

Hi folks
I'm a newbie
Just got a ps3 yesterday 2nd hand and it's got RTE player in the tv section already, I'm just wondering how do I get 4oD?

Also I know we can't get bbciplayer in Ireland but if I signed up to PSN using a British address would I be able to get the iplayer? Also is there any other tv players on the ps3

Thanks

You can get 4od by making a UK account.

Don't see the point of setting up a uk account when 4od is only one we can watch and that's easy to get to in browser on ps3.channel4.com

Any other reasons for uk account ?

Would take you 2 min to set up a uk account to download the app then switch back to your normal profile and use the app
