    Hope I'm posting in right forum here, if not feel free to move...

    I'm having trouble watching streaming content on RTE.ie, each time I click to watch something I get the following message:

    false 203351888 26678681

    Anyone in the same boat? It worked fine up until a few days ago. I downloaded the up to date Real player, but nothing doing. I've tried in Firefox and IE. I'm abroad but have always been able to access the online content (news, sport reports etc.)

    i might be wrong but afaik you can only access that service if you have a irish ip, similarly you can only access the bbc live content if your from the uk. I no your abroad but they only block the streaming.

    hope this helps

    Yeah I know there's certain things that you can only access if you've an Irish IP address - live GAA matches etc, but I'm talking about watching reports (not live) from the Six-One news, for example. It's always been possible but I tried watching something there over the weekend and that error message popped up and it's been the same ever since :confused:

    Ensure you have RealPlayer up to date, might be worth reinstalling it also

    Same here in Sydney.
    Trick is, after clicking the clip, click the play clip again and it'll come up.

    It's good because you don't have to watch the ads!

    Yes discovered this little trick late last night - in the pop up window if I click on one of the links on the right-hand side, they play ok. :)

    Am I the only one who despises Real Player? It's like, so 1995...
