How to Watch RTE Player Anywhere Outside of Ireland
If you’ve ever even glanced at RTE Player, it’s pretty obvious that they are one of the biggest digital platforms of all. However, they aren’t available outside of Ireland.
For many Irish people, it would be quite a big deal to miss out on RTE. They could want to catch up on their favorite show or watch live events that are happening in Ireland. Either way, it is better to stay connected to what’s going on back home.
If you want to get RTE Player from outside of Ireland, you need an Irish IP address. You can do so easily by using a VPN. A good VPN service will allow you to connect to an Irish server, which will give you access to RTE Player.
To set it up, you will need to sign up for a VPN service and then download the VPN app onto your smart TV. We recommend ExpressVPN, but NordVPN and CyberGhost are also good choices. If you are only using a computer, using a VPN browser extension will do just fine.
Once you have done this, you can connect to an Irish server and start watching RTE Player.
