Streaming TV from Ireland?

ck24

Hi, for those of you already in Canada, how are you streaming TV from home? I don't plan on getting cable Tv when I move over so i'm looking for alternatives. Does rte player or tv3 player work from Canada?

Or do you all just download shows or use netflix instead?

if you have a laptop just install Hola Unblocker on google chrome, its a plugin that lets you change the region of whatever you're on so stuff will play outside its home country if its restricted. works for netflix too.

For very powerful switch of IP use expat shield. Download off cnet.com. You can download from BBC site to their BBC desktop player using expat shield. Saves you from buffering.

Mediahint was the best but they charging now.

Doesn't Expat shield only make you appear as if you are in UK? OP wants Irish tv.

It really is, my hotel had good channels like hbo but standard cable is just awful. Get decent internet with unlimited usage instead.

RTE always worked with Expat Shield.

Hola is also good. It changes your IP to which ever country the site is based.

Mediahint is still working for free on Firefox as well. They're add ons.

If you're willing to pay a little for a solid service then go for unotelly. Allows Netflix from all regions/rte/bbc/channel 4 etc etc

If you like them on their FB page you get a month free.

I can confirm the unotelly, when set up, streams all Irish stations including tv3. Just checked and it works.

Ive found it far more stable. I find Hola can cause buffering. Hola is still good as is Mediahint for free.

I use project free tv . com or something- shows get uploaded the next day and there you can watch any movie for free. WHo needs Netflix when there;s so much free stuff out there
