    It's balanced across multiple servers. Try install Wireshark and get a full capture of the attempt to play.

    Start Wireshark, once it's open, go to capture -> interfaces, and you'll see your network interfaces. The one going to the internet probably already has traffic. Hit start and you'll see the packets getting listed. Open the Eircom page and attempt to play the stream. After it's failed, press stop. Search the various packets for the string "servecast". When you find a packet with that word, right click and choose follow TCP stream. You'll see a summary window. Either copy and paste the contents or put up a screen shot.

    No, that's just a HTTP get to request an image.

    This string should be present somewhere.

    That'll turn up a couple of times as part of the webpage. It's the attempt to load the video from the link above that matters.
