    As far as I know the RTE player should work. I was in Poland recently and I could watch it no problem. If you dont mind paying a $9.95 a month then Overplay https://www.overplay.net/ is a good option which I use myself in Ireland. You pay them monthly and you can cancel anytime.
    Hope this helps.

    +1 for overplay. It's working out at €7 per month at the moment.
    A large dish will allow you pick up ITV & BBC but not RTE.

    Try ToR, see my earlier thread here for some tips. Or try expatshield or hotspotshield.

    try expat shield it will give you a UK IP address so you can watch ITV and BBC players.

    I use it myself and find it the easiest option for watching ITV player

    If you install Tor and connect with it and then run Mgeni it works perfectly.

    Help. Have tried downloading Tor and mgeni but still out of luck. Absolutely technologically clueless so can anyone give me precise instructions on how to watch itv player in ireland with as little jargon as possible. I am using xp and internet explorer 8. Thank you in advance for anyone patient enough to reply. :confused:
