Which devices for RTE Player live stream

Akula

I notice that on the web I can just get a live stream of RTE1/RTE2 but on my android TV box I can't. I noticed it is an option on apple tv though. Any other boxes that allow for a live stream? Need a way of getting live tv in an apartment without paying and crappy saorview signal.

I have tried this for the same reason and found that on android tv or firestick if you use an android tv compatible browser you can use the rte website to watch it. I tried countless browser's Inc chrome but rte website kept saying update browser to watch. The only one I found which worked was one called "tvbro browser" it isn't really that bad. The virgin media app and tg4 apps for Android tv have a live stream section on them.

Oops!

Cast from your phone or iPad/tablet.

Apple TV as you say works. There’s no official RTE Player app for Fire.

The pre roll adverts already annoy me to pieces and I’m only using it as my main source of RTE for less than a week. Why they can’t insert these ads in the ordinary commercial breaks I’m not sure.

Can't you sideload the APK on a firestick? I have it on my Chromecast with Google TV, just installed it from the Play Store.

Edit: not sure if there's a live stream on it.

I use an ad blocking dns and don’t get the ads :)

RTE player is working perfectly for me using a Firestick. It's a bit of a journey to get the correct version loaded, but it's 100% reliable.

The tvbro browser has an option to turn off adds on it also which makes it handy.
