For any fellow Irish language enthusiasts out there…you can now watch the Irish language TV channel TG4 on WebTV! (including the addictive soap opera “Ros na Rún,” which is also subtitled in English).

Where on the page you linked does one start the programs?

The link spawns a popup window. On the left hand side of the popup, click one of the green links (like Cúla 4 - Cartlann) on the right hand side of the popup window will be a list of shows with a play button by each.
You may have to click on the “WebTV” button first. Then choose a type of program; then click ‘play’.

Thanks, Wanderer. That works. I thought the show about Bean a Tí was more interesting than Ros na Rún, but that’s just me.

I enjoyed that one too, particularly as my Irish teacher has told us of her times at those summer courses when she was young.
My heart goes out to all the mná an tí…even hosting one exchange student can be exhausting, never mind 20!

Amú san Áise is an excellent programme, Hector is the kind of person you love or hate, but he is doing a lot for the native language!
I can see how someone like Hector might make it appear possible to young people to be cool and still speak Irish.
