    I'm on Imagine DSL.

    This is the screen I get.

    6034073

    This does mean that it thinks I'm outside ROI?

    dnsstuff.com says my IP is in IE.

    Thanks

    From RTE Website
    How is access restricted?
    Where access is restricted, the mechanism for doing so is based on the computer's IP address. An IP address is the numerical address that each computer has on the web. It is provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). An ISP is the company that provides Internet connections to private and business customers. Examples of ISPs are Eircom, BT, Smart Telecom, UTV, NTL and Irish Broadband.

    I'm in the relevant territory and I can't access the service. Why?
    If you are in the relevant territory but cannot access the content, please contact your ISP directly and advise them of your problem. Your ISP will then make contact with RTÉ.ie.

    ISPs can contact RTÉ at onlinetechs@rte.ie. The ISP must include their AS number with any correspondence.

    Why don't I contact RTÉ.ie directly rather than my ISP if I'm having problems accessing the service?
    The authenticity of each new applicant needs to be checked before access can be enabled. Whether you should be receiving the service will be determined by the location of your IP address. Your ISP will have a record of your IP address and its location.

    RTÉ.ie can only accept an application from your ISP to have your IP address included for the service.

    Therefore, in order to save time, you should begin by contacting your ISP first by either emailing or phoning them.

    You need to contact your ISP, Imagine in your case...

    My question isn't what to do - I'm trying to confirm if the message on the screenshot means that it thinks I'm not in ROI.

    Thanks

    The ROI warnings are there for everyone. You'll need to wait until something is showing before you can check if you're geo blocked.

    At the time the OP posted, they were showing the CL game between Chelski and Liverpool.
