    Sorry if this thread has already been started but looked and couldn't find one. Is anyone else having problems with it? It just keeps crashing in the start/middle of programmes and if you want to skip forward from something you've seen already it's pot luck whether it'll crash again, really frustrating at this stage.

    No don't think it's that, I attempt to use it at home on wifi and it always crashes, whats the point of it if it doesn't work properly...

    I haven't used it that much, but it's worked perfectly whenever I have.... both on home wifi on the laptop, and lately with UPC on the telly.

    Now as for radio apps on my mobile - don't get me started - grrrrrr! I have yet to find one that doesn't crash after about 30 seconds :mad:

    I've had problems with it before too. It will work sometimes but it seems like once it comes under any kind of load it fails, seems like RTE just don't have the bandwidth to fill demand on top of the errors. I tried to watch one of the Ireland games on it and it was a mess. Went over to aertv.ie and it streamed perfectly.

    I have had other problems with it stopping playing after ad breaks.

    Aertv.ie is an Irish website that does RTE streams better than RTE, so you can use them instead.

    Could it have something to do with the Adobe Flash player, as it had crashed on me & tellin me to submit a crash report & reload the page!

    Btw i watched the Euro Final last nite & was ok for me, as that happened a few times to me including today.

    If that's any help to you?
