My Amiko Mini Combo Extra is beginning to fail. An odd issue: at random times and only on certain FTA channels screen goes blank with sound and have to cycle the "Source" setting on the TV to recover. Happens on both V and H polarity channels. I replaced the power plug, a known issue but issue persists. thoughts out there?

So I can replace it with Amiko Mk3 Combo or am considering Walker WPSTBw32 with its built in RTE Player.
However does it use Internet or terrestrial antennae to access the player?

Yeah, it'll need to be connected to the internet to access the RTÉ Player.
