    Nope. Seems rather odd to not give us it, seeing as it works here. Though the ITV player doesn't work here.

    The Panel and Republic of Telly are worth a look. Other than that there's just the soaps and Desperate Housewives. Pity they don't put up Premier Soccer Saturday, but it's nice to have it and it's very quick and easy to use.

    Any thing is welcome but i've been using the RTE player on the PS3 for the last year through the web browser.

    I hope they do something with 4OD as i cant get it to work through the web browser and their youtube channel freezes the PS3 each time i try it.

    If you have a UK account you can use the 4oD player.

    Not really, my rte player never updated itself from the web browser, had to delete history and cache to get it updated, this will be a lot handier.
    Does anyone know if this is working on sony blue ray players that dont have internet browser ,if it did it would be very useful.

    Just made myself a UK account there. Got myself 4oD, ITV player as well as the BBC iplayer. None of which are available with the Irish account. Pretty damn good stuff if you ask me. Although, I'm not entirely sure why they block it on Irish accounts in the first place.

    Is your BBC iplayer and ITV player working though??

    I can get 4od to play for me no problem but BBC region lock me and every programme I click on in on the ITV player "cannot be found"

    Its not quite the same its an XL view (like the youtube XL you get on PS3)

    Same with 4OD, BBC player doesnt work here for TV but the radio shows do some good comedy on BBC2.

    Ive found that if you use the L2 trigger to zoom back a bit so the screen gets smaller the picture is much better.

    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

    BBC iPlayer should allow you to listen to radio shows.

    Hopefully never. Such a crap list of programmes on that station. Unless you like "Living with a 16 stone testicle", "What happens if you shoot yourself in the head with a nailgun", "Travellers Nuptials - the inside story"....:D

    If you haven't read yet, if you make a UK user account then you can also get access to the 4oD player on that too. Which I find much more useful to be honest. Just a shame that we cant access it through the Irish user accounts

    Yes you can. Enter the correct url on the PS3's internet browser.
