    Yep, probably removing their stupid banner ads. Or else the site crashed because so many people tried to watch Fade Street?

    Finally someone is complaining about the way they plaster ads all over the site, this is progress. Someone in rte should have a look at the bbc site. I'm pretty sure they only redesigned the site to squeeze more ads in.

    it's working for me

    try www.rte.ie/player

    if it's rte.ie/player (minus the www part) it just gets an error.

    Someone should look at the difference in budgets between the bbc site and the rte one. I think they do a really good job and the rte player is a resounding success. :P

    If you believe different reports from the past few years RTÉ was on the brink of bankruptcy at one point, since then they've managed to get their act together and break even. When they do manage a profit perhaps this year they should remove the annoying ads. They can't be making that much from shilling the rte guide in a side banner compared to the licence fee they get from every household.
