Why do you need a TV when you can watch RTE shows on their website?

I'm confused.

In the UK the license fee goes to the BBC and they have no adverts because they get the license fee money, yes?

So how come RTE is wall to wall adverts and also gets the license fee?

I don't think I ever watch RTE to be honest. TV3/3e show some good American shows, but are about as Irish as a kangaroo. TG4 is the only station with any decent home grown programmes.
