    I highly doubt that Bus Eireann would have the bandwidth available for a full bus to stream Netflix or any similar service. I'd suggest ripping a couple of DVD's and saving the files onto your device for viewing on the bus journey from it's local storage (obviously if you have the space available on your device).

    You can't stream video content on Bus Eireann. It eats up too much bandwidth on their wifi. If you want to watch movies, you'd need to have them stored on a portable, external device & then plug that into your tablet/phone/laptop.

    Transport operators, properly, prohibit streaming as they don't want people hogging bandwidth which could be used by other more moderate people on the bus. And as it wouldn't work as there wouldn't a good connection all the way on any case, so the previous post says download some stuff beforehand.
