    So when will we get TV3 player?

    Hopefully never. Such a crap list of programmes on that station. Unless you like "Living with a 16 stone testicle", "What happens if you shoot yourself in the head with a nailgun", "Travellers Nuptials - the inside story"....:D

    Should just appear in the XMB between the game and video sections.

    Trying connecting to PSN then turning off and back on.

    Is there any trickery involved in setting up a uk account or is it as easy as choosing uk as your location?

    The 4od quality is surprisingly good. RTE is muck with sound synchro issues.

    If you haven't read yet, if you make a UK user account then you can also get access to the 4oD player on that too. Which I find much more useful to be honest. Just a shame that we cant access it through the Irish user accounts

    Yes you can. Enter the correct url on the PS3's internet browser.

    Yea 4OD works with an irish account by using the link as posted below by Minstrel, it works very well, although im not sure we have the same number of shows as the usual 4OD??

    If you want to add 4OD to your browsers bookmarks, the address is http://ps3.channel4.com BBC iPlayer is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen





    BBC iPlayer should allow you to listen to radio shows.

    EDIT: ****. Buffering is slow on my internet. Bleh! :/

    Had a quick look there, RTE is very poor. I was surprised how good 4 OD was, shame about the poor selection of shows to watch though.

    If you skip at all with the RTE player it goes out of sync which is really annoying when you have seen half a show. Picture quality is only ok 4OD is way better but it does seem to lack a lot of the shows the normal 4od has.

    Still cant complain for a free service, when you consider the cost involved in getting the awful SKY service for Xbox360.

    I went to my account settings and "activated" my system for video, logged out and then I signed into my usual Irish playstation ID, thats when RTE player showed up, and then when I went back into my new UK ID, the UK ones showed up.

    Hope that helps

    I posted this last month and it worked a charm for me and for others, not sure if its the problem you're having but its definitely worth a try :)

    Account settings - "activate system"

    i went into 'account management' and it has 'game' and 'video' in there. i activated 'game' but for video it just says 'this service is not avaible in your country. do you think it could be because my HD is full? i have been getting a little message saying there is less then 500mb left.

    Lads the RTE Player only works on my 'master account', which isn't the main one I actually use.
    It doesn't show in my other user account - Any way of changing this?
    Or even is there a way of swapping master accounts?

    Google isn't proving to be much help.

    Thanks!

    I used to always access RTE Player through the web browser and going to te.ie. works perfectly for me that way.
