The local broadcaster has launched a Hulu/iPlayer type site for Ireland. I think it looks really nice, they are using MPEG4 in flash, where before I has to use a realplayer stream

I'm also wondering if it works outside of Ireland, unlike Hulu and iPlayer

I get redirected to this:

How strange for it not to give a real error message, as it is not a 404.

I would have thought the UK would have had access at least, as many shows are licenced in UK/Ireland cross-licences
