Channel 4OD no longer available in ROI

Hi I was a regular user of the Channel 4 On Demand service whereby you could basically watch all of the Channel 4 shows online by installing the programme on your computer- it was brilliant. They recently launched an ad campaign explaining that they would be ceasing this service, but all the shows would still be available…

Hi I was a regular user of the Channel 4 On Demand service whereby you could basically watch all of the Channel 4 shows online by installing the programme on your computer- it was brilliant.

They recently launched an ad campaign explaining that they would be ceasing this service, but all the shows would still be available to view on the channel 4 website.

So I went to watch something today only to realise that viewers in Ireland are no longer allowed to access the shows. I'm really annoyed :mad:

They say it's something to do with rights agreements but how come we could watch them all along? I've sent an email of complaint to channel 4 so if anyone else feels the same way please do the same.

If they get enough they MAY do something about it :cool:

Why would Channel 4 care? They are a UK service and it is obviously a rights issue if they have blocked it.

Yeah I am really pissed about them shutting down 4oD as I used it a lot and it was great. I just went on it a few minutes ago to re-watch the Inbetweeners and was told it had shut down:mad:. Hopefully they will do something about it though...
