I have a phone line running to the back of it. Would that be it. I'm not completely savvy with this

No a phone line wont do it you need a broadband connection either wired or wireless.

I always wondered about the bbc rights issue thing. surely nearly all the programming on iplayer is BBC originated thus no need to clear rights with anyone for Ireland except themselves?

That's not the reason in the BBC's case, the issue is that the BBC cannot spend licence fee payers money making programmes available outside the UK and this task is specifically in BBC Worldwide's remit.

Worldwide meanwhile are pushing the international iPlayer, which is less a catchup TV service and more an archive VOD service.

On UPC's on-demand there is no BBC iPlayer, though there is a selection of archive BBC programmes which changes from time to time.

4oD in the Catch Up section now has HD content from all the channels. Channel 4 HD shows clear in Ireland, at least for now with the one show I tried.

@ftakeith - I think your quote is a bit fecked up or else you are debating with yourself:p

anyone else notice all new releases in the sky store have increased by €1. To watch a new release in HD will also cost a €1

The sky plus app for iPad/ Android is pretty cool when used in conjunction with this.
Full remote control over WiFi,far better than the magic eye.
Just swiping up and down the screen to change channel.Full access to your planner,the ability to do everything the remote does without needing to point.
Full programme info when browsing on demand stuff with pictures etc


Any news on the Rte player?

Let's hope the big overhaul to the epg starting today doesn't effect card trick

Nope

Anyone else get the email about the safety problem with the wifi adapters? Seemingly the screws can fall out and presumably they can come apart while plugged in. Checked and mine looks ok anyway...

Got one of the mini connectors yesterday and after a hour(and trying different routers and settings on each)I finally got it to connect.

Sky have stupidly put the password entry in uppercase letters and my wifi password was all lowercase. Just a heads up in case anyone else has issues connecting it.

It works if you ignore the upper/lowercase issue and put in the password.

I typed in it numerous times with two different routers and got a network error.
I gave up,looked on Google later on and seen someone said sky has it as uppercase as default,so tried keep pressing till i got lower case and it connected.

It's worked for me with just putting in the letters as uppercase on the Sky box even though they're all lowercase in the password so that's a bit strange.

Sure is, a hours work to find out its something simple(maybe just in my case)

At least the information is here if people have a similar issue.

Need to get my router going to. After I go into settings what do I do?

If you have a WPS button on your router press that and its meant to work.

Otherwise you pick your wifi out of a list,put in the password and that's it.

thesultan

Mine has my internet connection picked up but gives me the sky on demand link for sky to go to. What do I do from here?

jeffk

Once you have found it and put in your password go to the on demand section and you'll see catch up etc

I hooked mine up last night, the lowercase letters thing was the key to getting my password working.
The box set selection seems very small, is it the same in the UK, so sign of the "Grandaddy of them all, The Wire", as was advertised.

So, can we ever expect the RTE Player to be added ?.

ThisRegard

The Wire was there until recently, it may have expired. It sounds like you may have just looked at the homepage of the box sets, there's an A-Z list of them all.

You must be right, it says over 200 box sets on the website

A bit OTT there dude. No one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to stay or take out a HD sub

They're going to have to get the money for Deutschland and Italia from somewhere and the Micks are always a soft touch. :P

channelsurfer2

That's mad. For an extra 5pounds the UK gets HD and box sets along with the entertainment extra pack.
