Just to avoid any confusion, this is the RTÉ Player, not the iPlayer. I know it
may sound like I'm being picky and I often am but I've had crossed
conversations before when someone says iPlayer and means RTÉ Player, which has
no 'i' in it.
Gerry, does the RTÉ Player have AD capability so that when Fair City is
broadcast with AD (three trial episodes this Autumn) will that be available
through the Player?
