Problem with RTE Player

[onway]

Am trying to catch up on some programmes I missed but when I try to watch on RTE Player it is very stop/start and impossible to watch. I know that this probably has something to do with my broadband connection but is there anything I can do about it?? I thought I might be able to download and save the programmes to watch after they were fully downloaded but that doesn't seem to work.

Make sure you are fully up to date with Adobe Flash. I can use it OK on a 2002 WinXP desktop with a 3Mb BB connection.

No, unfortunately.

You could let the program play for about 5 mins before you watch it, then bring the progress bar back to the start. The will create a buffer which may overcome a slow connection.
