Streaming FAQs
What software do I require to access the service?
To access audio and video content on RTÉ.ie, you will need a piece of software on your computer called Real Player.
The free version of the Real Player can be downloaded from the RealNetworks site. Download Real Player here.
Live video content is also available as a Windows Media stream. Download Windows Media player here.
Both Real PLayer and Windows Media may have specific computer hardware requirements. More information can be found at the above Real Player and Windows Media links.
Why does the quality of the pictures I receive depend on the type of connection I have to the Internet?
There are a number of ways of accessing the Internet. Conventional dial-up uses a standard telephone connection. However, broadband connections, such as cable or ADSL, have greater capacity than standard telephone lines.
A broadband connection means you can receive far more information on your computer in the same time as a conventional dial-up connection. Broadband connections allow you to view video on the web at a higher quality than via dial-up connections.
Live video content can only be viewed over broadband.
Why is the availability of the TV service restricted in some cases?
For copyright reasons, in agreement with the associated rights-holder bodies, RTÉ.ie streaming content on the web in some cases can only be accessed from certain territories. Unfortunately users outside these territories will be unable to access this content.
How is access restricted?
