Benny it's runs approx 45 secs to 1 minute behind, so technically it's nots "live".

Fair enough - best of luck with it

thanks man

Just install a browser add-on and it costs nothing.

What add-on do you need to install, Heffo?  Are you talking about stuff like sopcast, or do you have something better

For Firefox - ModifyHeaders - just do a ping on www.rte.ie and add in the address it returns - this will let you watch rte.ie from anywhere through Firefox

I have another at home on another laptop that lets you watch anything - cbs.com, bbc.co.uk, rte.ie etc

Thanks for those, Heffo; I'll definitely check it out!

So how much of the  profit is going to the GAA in Roylties?

[cadhlancian]

Royalties for what? This a fee for a service .

[cadhlancian]

Ros, the GAA is only a small part of this service. It runs on these channels 24/7. The lions tour , EPL , 6 nations are all part of any plan you would get.

Did you get RTE's permission to rebroadcast their service?

[cadhlancian]

Permission for what Declan? This is not live, so why would I need their permission? Does any of the gaa clips on you tube etc have their permission?

[cadhlancian]

No "rights" are needed in the US to show any non - live broadcasts. If it was live then of course , that's a different animal, it's not.

Because it is their product, not yours.

[cadhlancian]

They own the rights to show it LIVE. They own nothing else.

Err, you need to take a second look at how copyright works..

[cadhlancian]

Bottom line is... It's not actually a live broadcast . I can watch loads of stuff including GAA
On YouTube etc. no permission needed. It is a bit of a grey area I suppose, but as of yet there is zero legislation in the US prohibiting replayed TV / radio etc. That may change, as of know it hasn't .
