    For the past two days there is no option to watch RTÉ 2 on the player. Is this just a technical difficulties or a rights issue because of the Euro's?

    On both my smart TV and Android app I can only access RTÉ1 and News.

    I found this as well, presumed it was because of the Euros.

    Same. The player is a joke.

    I've been watching the euros on the Rte player website with no issues at all

    Haven't tried the RTE player for the games but 3player was working for me with the England match last night so I doubt it's a rights issue.

    Just tried the android app there and it worked fine for me, the Euros highlights are on.

    My experience of RTE player during large sporting events is that you are better off trying illegal streams.

    Anyone know roughly how much data streaming the match to mobile would "cost"?

    Or is that a bit of a how-long-is-a-piece-of-string question?

    streaming a HD match for 90 minutes.
    I'd take a stab, approx 2GB

    So not only do RTE benefit from an abhorant TV license, but they also block Rte player for browsers running ad blocking software.

    Absolute shams. Nevermind the player will probably crash with traffic, they just boil my piss.

    Sure an adblocker wouldn't block a built in ad anyway!
