    Hi,
    I am trying to use Horizon TV online in my own home. Laptop connected to my own router.I can only see about 7 live channels and I can not watch a programme on RTE due to rights restrictions. WTF.
    Regards
    Dermot

    the 'due to copyright restrictions' message is RTE not granting the rights to play it on UPCs player. RTE took UPC to court to stop them putting their content on the UPC player. They finally agreed to allow it but it seems RTE just blocks everything.

    What programme are you trying to watch? There are some restrictions on Fair City due to Equity objections, it can't be aired on RTE One+1 for example.

    OK. I had set settings on my phone to mobile streaming, thus blocking most channels. \I still cannot understand why this effected my laptop settings. I thought devices could work independently of each other.

    That dispute was settled quite some time ago (May/June 2012). FC is certainly being aired on RTE One+1 now.
