Government propaganda
Government propaganda, supposed to tell the truth, spreads nothing but misinformation and lies
What a bunch of gangsters
What a bunch of gangsters, the sneaky payments to its talentless presenters at the tax payers expense is nothing short of disgusting. The endless repeat programs and adverts on top of the millions from the corrupt government in our money is a joke.
Useless
Useless, not fit for purpose, overpaid pathetic presenters. Nothing original. Basically paid propaganda on the news. If I could give no stars , I would. Get rid of it.
Terrible should be abolised
Toxic and shockingly bad
Toxic and shockingly bad, cannot get any worse than it is. Boring , sad and dangerous for your health, promoting drugs, illnesses, wars, confused people, mentally ill people , crime and hysteria. Absolutely depressing . Avoid at all costs to save your mental health!
Absolute sh1te
Absolute crap. I’d rather watch paint dry.. don’t pay for their lies. Propaganda machine. Corrupt to the core.
RTE is far too LEFT WING for me
RTE is far too LEFT WING for me. A little BALANCE would be nice. Let’s keep Ireland IRISH please.
Liars
How dare RTE a so called Public Broadcaster call the people of Coolock scumbags,thugs and reprobates. You showed Simon Harris condemning the people of Coolock, He is a pure liar, I was there and not one petrol bomb was thrown. You support a Government that constantly lies and don't know the facts. Don't report on something when you couldn't even be bothered to send out reporters to find out for yourselves. How dare you say ye are a Public Broadcaster and then report the lies that Simon Harris decided to say on your channel. I am homeless, from Coolock and our so called Government and County Council don't care about housing people like me. They only care about lining their own pockets and the pockets of the wealthy. Pay RTE off so you follow the line. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. And RTE keep spreading Government lies and the people are robbed paying a Public Service Broadcast fee to prop up liars like yourselves and the lying Government and Garda.
I wouldn't even rate it 1 star.its not…
I wouldn't even rate it 1 star.its not worth paying the TV licence for this crap.all those millions going to a corrupt organisation
Terrible service.
Terrible service.
Picks and chooses what to report on the news
RTE just keep getting worse
RTE just keep getting worse. They are stuck in the 80’s I refuse to pay any licence to them. They should be shut down all they are is a propaganda machine for the government! I’ll never watch any of their rubbish!
R.T.E propaganda station
RTE stream repeats , garbage, APPALLING attempts at remakes and of course ADS into your house, then demand money for doing so. Anyone protesting against undocumented young men are labelled as "racists " but will never interview them ,R.T.E supports open borders for all . Islamic supporting woke pushing anti- family
RTE is a scam organisation and are…
RTE is a scam organisation and are state propaganda merchants
RTE must be the worst national…
RTE must be the worst national broadcaster on the planet. You don't get to see what they don't want you to see....as in the truth. It's run by a corrupt bias government. Should be taken off the air altogether.
Stop paying for this scam
Stop paying for this scam. RTE is a government propaganda machine that employs NGO agitators posing as journalists. They never report with full & factual information, constantly lie. Their live debates are a scam, only ask questions to those with prepared answers. Ever noticed there is never anyone to go against government policies when on their shows. Ever noticed if a crime is committed by a non national their name is withheld, yet if an Irish person commits a crime their name and face is exposed immediately! Abolish RTE!
You wanna stream live TV, come on down and......nope
Euros streaming, let's watch that: 1080p nope, 720p nope, maybe 360p... nope, let's try 270p... yes, but I can barely see the ball... no wait, hang on... nope, buffering again for umpteenth time... eventually 140p, can't see anything but blobs... what a f@#king disaster and still buffers up lol. It's 2024 and your servers are from 1974... Absolute joke! Seems I'm not the only one either!
Utterly useless
Utterly useless. Please RTE, get someone (like Elon Musk) to teach you how to a. Run a successful company b. Set up a successful tech application. C. Use whatever minuscule brain matter you may have at your disposal. Truly the most useless app I have ever had the misfortune of paying for. Government-issue, useless waste of oxygen 🤡 foisted on Irish taxpayers.
Useless absolute trash.
This is genuinely the most inept, heap of s**t streaming service available. Takes beyond 45 minutes to watch a 30 minute show because of all the skipping (legitimately skips ahead hy a few seconds of its own accord), buffering, dropping out, etc etc.
