I gave it a one star because it was the lowest score I could give it. I have never managed to watch anything in full with out a streaming issue. If I was advertising on it I’d ask for a refund!
A biased public funded news channel
The news channel is very much biased towards western influence of the world. i was first surprised to see some people protesting against rte a year ago, but now getting sense of why they did what they did. Especially if you read the analysis and comments section of the news, you could see they lack the expertise and neutrality and the analysis only delivers what is needed in western world. Dissapointed with such a publically funded news.

Well what can I say about RTÉ and their latest show the main stage! In one word “awful” this show should on an early evening slot on RTÉ junior or RTÉ2 it shows this stations lack of respect for their audiences in their mid ages a total waste of licence payers money so bad it was depressing lack of professional presenters I will say no more on this muck of a show get it off our screens now!

All of these programmes ate Architectly led with no input or expertise in Building Services, M & E or Energy which is the most important aspect of any development. In this age of Sustainability and Climate Change programmes are missing very important aspects.

RTE an Irish disaster.
To those not familiar with RTE they are the so called state broadcasting agency in Ireland and by law every household has to pay them 176 euros a year by law for a licence ensuring that they survive. I don't watch either of there channels as the majority of what they broadcast are repeats and I don't listen to there radio stations either as I find them just risible and stale. But every year I have to buy that license or face severe consequences for not doing so. I just need them for the occasional sporting event that I would use there online player to access but RTE have the worst media player that exists as in it doesn't work at all. Buffering is a constant on all there live broadcast media as well as freezing pictures and poor picture quality.
The time has long since passed for the licence fee in this country to be abolished and the organisation can go to a pay to watch service be put in place instead.
They are an organisation that is stuck in the 20th century and will stay there until something is done to change there ways.
Useless just utterly useless.
RYAN TUBRIDY IN PARIS SPENDING HIS € 700,000,-
Thousands of innocent civilians are still getting killed (children & babies as well)...cities are burning and have no gas, power and water (minus 10 during the night)...children's hospitals are bombed...millions of war refugees are on the move...AND WHAT IS THE NEWS IN IRELAND >> RYAN TUBRIDY IS IN PARIS FOR A SHORT BREAK SPENDING HIS € 700,000,- ?!? SOUNDS LIKE A VERY BAD JOKE...
RTE Player - too many technical issues
In my experience, RTE Player has more technical issues than our 4 other streaming services combined. This has been the case for months, and interfered with our enjoyment of multiple shows, and this is despite the fact that we consistently keep our software up to date.
It is reasonable to expect a satisfactory service given we pay our licence fee, but at present, it is not.

RTE PLAYER IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE AND AN EMBARASSMENT I HAVE NEVER KNOWN IT TO WORK PROPERLY.
Bias left wing extremists who just copy associated press
Part of Ireland’s problem where they are complicit in left wing extremism. Never write a bad word against large companies or allies of the US. Fanatical LBGT supporters. Pro abortionist agenda in a lot of their work. Won’t give much airtime to anyone remotely on the ‘right’ and their international news is akin to associated press with their dogmatic left wing bias. What AP say, RTE will just copy.
