Was like you all once. Hated the thought of a dog inside or even cats about atall. About 6 years ago a wild(ish) cat would sit on my boiler. Now and again I'd leave it out something. After a few months it'd make its way to our door until one day I toul it to come in, in cat talk. The thing has no voice and cowers from any contact. 6 years later she's still strolling around the house, still no voice, still timid. She'll stand in front of you and stare you out when she needs outside to use the lavatory. Just sleeps and strolls around. Causes no bother. No real companionship as she doesn't like humans. Looks at me like as if she'll kill me some night. Stands in front of the fireplace the odd time and looks at me to light her.

Strange oul relationship. Six years of lookin at each other now and again. Get the impression she was mistreated. When she dies there'll be no more but I'd like to think I've made her life a bit easier. She probably doesn't give a fook.

Sounds like marriage...

This service for streaming live tv feeds is excellent  https://www.firstonetv.eu/Live
Both Eir sports 1 and Premier are available and is a good standby for  the geo-blocked Irish channels.

Impressive list there...is it all above board?

It is not illegal.
RTE and other stations might not like it if you are a non swimming drunken irish expat, lying low 3,000 miles from Carrickfergus with internet access to their live programs, but it is most definitely not an illegal action. RTE might take measures to prevent the possibility of gaining such access to their live programs, but the onus is on them to secure their service.

Of course it is illegal, it is a bit like saying that if I don't lock my car that it is OK for you to take it as the onus is on me to secure it. Or in this case it is OK if someone else takes it and you get it from them.

A bit like what??   Your comparison is a bit like mumbo jumbo. You certainly wouldn't make it near Joe Brolly's dream team
Explain exactly how it is illegal for a Canuck to use that linked website to view a live RTE transmission?
And how would it work to find and prosecute that Canuck?

FYI, there was once an attempt in the USA in 2008 to prosecute a US resident  for watching a US tv episode on
You Tube, based on the fact that a temporary copy was made on the YT site to facilitate viewing.
It was not successful.
There is no definite legal response to the question of legality, even when it all happens within a jurisdiction.
The illegality involved, is that a violation of copyright has been committed, a misdemeanor. The transgressor would be the stream provider
The viewer in the same jurisdiction is not regarded as a transgressor and then when the viewer lives in another jurisdiction? what then?
When copyrighted content is posted onto YT.  it is just removed by YT after a complaint has been made.

Is it only a matter of time before channels will be available worldwide for a fee?  Have RTE Player make all RTE programmes available to international audiences on demand? And likewise for BBC, ITV, RAI from Italy...and Sky with its many channels.   Get a daily/monthly/annual subscription.  A bit like GAAGO I suppose...is that the cutting edge?

Or where will it all end?

I wouldn't bother with ultimate mania. Anything non-sports you can get in it will be on exodus.

I am thinking about getting one of these services, my needs are access to the Irish channels (RTE, TG4 etc) and GAA coverage during the year. Also if I could access geo-blocked content on the RTE player it would be a major plus. Which service would be best?

Excellent response...you have me well described.

Watched two games on demand (none live) over the weekend and I must say the service was excellent.  Not one instance of buffering, which is amazing.

Hopefully they can keep it up.

Right on cue, the website goes down.  Wonder if we get any games this weekend?

Does one set of predictions cover all mini-leagues, or can I put different predictions for each mini-league I'm in?

Very clever...well done.

GAAGO have released their games until 25 February...not all are live, but all will be available on demand until 1 December 2017. 

22 games is some load for February (and the last Sunday's games are not included).  You can buy an individual game in USA for $12 or the season of 125 games plus every episode of The Sunday Game for $149.

Tried several times to get going on this...failed every time. 

I'll say it was operator errors on my part, because that is the kindest thing to say. 

Anyone game for just posting our picks in a separate thread?

Set one up there now if anyone wants to join. GAABoard.Com   code   gusaumCNGbeh
