Hi Mark, Had a quick look and to be honest, while I'm sure its usable if you know what you are doing, Its pretty horrible right now. Obvious problems: 1. poorly designed flash with loads of unlabelled buttons. 2. There seems to be a sort of calendar, whereby I assume, you can navigate to dates and times of shows, but I can't seem to figure out how it works. Also the calendar entries are interspersed throughout the flash content. 3. The page constantly seems to be refreshing, throwing up random shows which you can watch. 4. I attempted to watch a programme by clicking on the button associated with the programme name. 5. Details of when the programme was aired, the date until which it was available, along with other details such the programme website etc were displayed. But I couldn't figure out how you actually got the programme itself to start playing. Its probably done using one of those unlabelled buttons, but I don't have the time or the interest to start systematically clicking buttons in the hope I strike lucky and hit the 'play' button. In short, it's a load of rubbish.

The RTÉ player gives Irish broadband users the opportunity to watch their favourite RTÉ television programmes for up to 21 days after broadcast. It was developed with a view to delivering a new and improved service to reflect audience needs and to offer viewers more choice in how they watch programmes. More than 200 hours of programmes from all categories of the RTÉ broadcast schedule are available to view. News and sports fans can watch all RTÉ's news and current affairs output and get free access to RTÉ's top sports shows including The Sunday Game, Monday Night Soccer and OB Sport. The player is a beta release - it is the first version released outside the organisation that developed the software, for the purpose of evaluation and testing. Commenting on the launch, Executive Director of RTÉ Publishing Múirne Laffan said: 'This is an exciting new opportunity for Irish viewers to access their favourit e programmes whenever they want. 'RTÉ player will enhance our service to existing and new RTÉ audiences, extending the availability of our programmes and addressing the challenge to consumers' viewing habits beyond traditional appointment to view. 'This is a significant enhancement to the consumer experience offered on RTÉ.ie and we expect a subsequent growth in usage and traffic, which will in turn offer commercial advertisers opportunities to reach audiences in new ways,' she added. RTÉ.ie has an average of 55m page impressions per month and 2.3m unique users. =========================================================== The vicsireland mailing list To unsubscribe at any time send a mail to: vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe", without the quotes in the subject of the message.
