RTE Player on PS3

JayDooling

I haven't been able to watch most of RTE TV live. Mostly, watch the news & documentary shows like Nationwide, Capital D, The Big Money Show (grin).

I decided that the best way to watch TV online on my TV was to dedicate a computer to do nothing else. Then hook it up to my TV as a monitor using a HDMI cable. Then use a blue tooth key board & mouse as my remote.

Well if it's anything like the UK then it'll stay that way. I lost BBCiplayer, ITV Player and 4OD from my XMB and it was replaced with Sony's PlayTV :mad:

You can still access RTE player via the PS3 internet browser Just enter rte.ie/player and bookmark the address when you have it loaded. Watched last week's Late Late on it

Just a wee update for you PS3 lovers....

RTÉ Player has returned to the XMB on PS3. If you cant see it, be sure to update your system. On the TV tab click on my channels and there you go!

I presume the same goes for the UK too.

RTÉ Player lets you 'catch up' on programmes you have missed over the last 30days. It is not a service to watch live tv. Nether is BBC iPlayer, 4oD, ITV player or any of those.

Click your browser to www.rte.ie and you can watch Live 24hr RTÉ news, but not RTE1, RTE2 or TG4.
You can also download RTÉ's News app to your mobile phone. I watch RTE News on the go now whenever I want.

If you have a bit of money, or you havnt completed your list to santa yet you should get a Play TV device for your PS3. In Ireland this lets you tune in RTE1, RTE1+1, RTE2 HD, TG4, RTE Jnr, RTE News, RTE Aertel, TV3, 3e.
It also lets you record, schedule records & rewind live tv. See my link below:

Be sure you have space on your PS3's hard drive if you plan on saving video. I'm not sure how much space is required to save programmes, but if you want to upgrade your hard drive the following video http://youtu.be/NNSytaL9hnI gives you step by step instructions.
