Now that Premium Sports no longer streams championship matches for residences in the U.S., I see that gaago.rte.ie is airing individual games for 10 Euros.  Has anybody tried this yet?  Any feedback would be helpful.  Thanks.

I bought the season pass. Same coverage as Premier Sports had, obviously, but the streaming is far higher quality than Premier offered via Ustream, pretty much HD.

Awesome, J70.

Orais, did you get the Armagh Tyrone match on the radio the other day?
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

I did, Stew.  Thank you.  I was sure we'd give up a goal at the end.

I have the gaago season pass too and am very happy with the service and the quality of the picture.  Good value for 110 Euros I think it was about $160.

It's probably worth getting the season pass even at this late stage as there are plenty of games left (4 this weekend) and each game is 10 euros individually and the finals of hurling and football are probably 20 euros
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not too sure.

Can you use that safely or can it access your private information, like passwords etc?

Does that still work now gaago is up and running?  Wasn't able to get anything on the rte player this past weekend.

Well I've been able to use it without any problems, can't find anything to show it's not safe.

Actually, even better, get media hint for Firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/media-hint/

It's still free for Firefox, but it has become a monthly paid subscription for chrome. It works flawlessly and gets rte player, BBC iPlayer, Hulu and the American Netflix with no problems from anywhere in the world.

I installed media hint in firefox and can watch hulu but itis still telling me I'm outside Ireland when I try to watch RTE player.
