Good to hear it works for someone . .. .still don't work for me direct connecting

I can't get this working either. I can logon with user name and password and see the list of channels available, RTE One, RTE Two, TV3, Se & MTV but when I click on any of them I get the error "This Channel Is Currently Not Broadcasting" So I don't think this is a firewall thing as I'm getting in ok. I have a magnet IP 87.198.31.** and I'm connected to magnet on a fibre optic connection. I think this service is just not broadcasting so any fob off from magnet using firewall, connection type graphics card, updating media player all the usual BS is just a fob off. Why do they advertise something that just isn't broadcasting.

Ok I got this to work but not with the help of Magnet Support (who had me jumping thru hoops for weeks until I just gave up.... )

I then realised I had a really really long network cable which connected my pc to the wall and tried replace it with a shorter cable. Once connected over the shorter cable it worked first time.

Maybe try that ....

I've been trying to get this organised on my own laptop for ages, they didnt reply to my email with username and password so I rang them and they gave them to me but its still not working.

Like other users its coming up as "This channel is not broadcasting". I dosconnected the wire from the router and hooked it directly in to the laptop as a previous posted mentioned however its STILL not working......

No point in ringing Magent as they are most unhelpful although in saything that, I was glad to hear they are open now until 9pm for customer support..... for all the help they give.....

We dont have one that works with linux at the moment.

However we are days away from launching a browser based PCTV service.

If you would like to PM me I can give you more detail and maybe a test account.

I found a solution in my PC. It was a problem with graphics card (NVidia). You just need to find the right driver for your computer. I checked Samsung netbook with Intel graphics chipset - and it worked straight away. So that's how I found out the problem in my main computer. Cheers Jerry
