Guide to Accessing RTE Player

July 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Anime News

pThe public service broadcaster for Ireland is known as RTE, which stands for Raidi Teilifs Ireann. They are actually one of the oldest public broadcasters anywhere, operating from 1961. The Irish Government appoint a board to run the stationnbsp;, nbsp;you can see its very similar to an Irish BBCnbsp; ./p
pnbsp;It is definitely missed by Irish people who move away from Irelandnbsp; , and why many were so pleased at the announcement of RTE Player which is a similar version of a href=http://www.anonymous-proxies.org/2009/02/using-iplayer-abroad-viewing-bbc-via.html target=_blankBBC Iplayer/a. Which will let you watch RTE over the internet. Alas all the homesick Irish were to be disappointed when they tried to access the RTE Player from abroad, the dreaded Geotargeting stopped them./p
pMaybe youve heard this term, geotargeting plays an important part in determining what you can do online. The most obvious example is when you go to Google, you will always be directed to the Google Home page related to your location e.g Google.com, Google.co.uk, Google.IE./p
pIn this case it makes perfect sense, but unfortunately Geotargeting is also used to block access in many cases. It actually is quite simple as everyone connected to the internet has an IP address. This IP address is registered and can be traced to a physical location, nbsp;the web site will simply look up this location to determine where you are ./p
pThis is what RTE Player does, it looks up your IP address and if its not registered in Ireland you wont be able to access the content. Its the same with BBC Iplayer, if youre a non-UK surfer then youll get blocked from Iplayer. If you want to see how I did it – try here, on here – a href=http://www.anonymous-proxies.org/2009/11/watching-rte-in-us-uk-or-anywhere.html target=_blankRTE player outside ireland/a/p
pBut the truth is that this doesnt stop people accessing the shows if they use a workaround. So to watch RTE player connect through an Irish Proxy and youll be fine. When you connect throught the Irish proxy your IP address will be listed is Irish and RTE Player will work perfectly./p
pIts perfectly simple to do, the trouble is find a proxy to use which is why I generally use a commercial one as they are fast and secure ./p
