    hey gang

    hope yer all well.

    im over in germany at the moment, due to the recession back home and all that. and am looking to watch some irish tv, missing ireland, and would love to see a bit of the late late show and the likes, just to stay in touch with the homeland.

    does anyone know of a way of getting rte tv to work over here?

    thanks very much for the help

    Ed

    Don't think there is way around this as I've had this issue from abroad also.
    When you go on-line over there you are going through German servers on German IP's. RTE can see this and will block you!!
    (think I'm explaining that correctly. If not I'm sure I will be corrected quickly :))

    Thats correct.
    its the same reason why we can't watch the BBCi & Ch4 player from ireland,
    would be great if there was a way around it.:(
