Tony,
To use the new RTÉ player, go to http://www.rte.ie/player/.
Can I ask everyone to try it and report on it's accessibility, good
and bad. I will take this information to RTÉ and work with them on
fixing any problems.

RTÉ launches catch-up TV service
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A new catch-up web TV service has been launched on RTÉ.ie. 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.
