There’s lots to be annoyed about right now if you live in Ireland. And there’s lots of reasons to believe there’s nothing you can do. But democracy isn’t just about turning up at a school every four years. So I’m gonna make this as easy as possible.

RTE have released a beta version of their RTE Player, a catch-up web TV service. And it works! Even on a Mac!

Programmes will be available for 21 days after broadcast on the system, so you can “see what you’re missing”, as the blurb goes.

Of course, you probably won’t be watching some of RTE’s bought in programmes, for copyright reasons, and it sounds like, thanks to cutbacks at the national broadcaster, there’ll be a lot more bought in programmes, and a lot less indigenous material.

Still, this is a great development, and it should catch on, much like BBC’s iPlayer, which sadly, is not available here, again, for copyright reasons.

…and it’s really shocking news for everyone in Ireland. See the Independent article.
