On-Demand TV & Movies Online
We're no longer fighting over the remote control to the lounge tv since any internet screen can become a home cinema. Many of us don't even use a TV schedule guide when we have on-demand where you can binge on box sets and movies to temporarily escape from reality and 24hr news.

Irish Terrestrial TV Players
Watch a few adverts before catching up on recent TV shows.
There are several more sites and Apps offering either subscription or free access to foreign TV channels but since they may require VPN access and also contravene licensing laws you'll need to search online for 'TV Streaming Services' to find these.
Pay Per View
The 'On Demand' alternative to what the local video shop once offered. The mainstream major players all offer a vast selection of blockbuster movies whereas the others offer niche and arthouse alternatives.
Subscription
If you've exhausted the offerings from the mainstream providers there are now several international, niche, and arthouse alternatives and it's worth seeing if you can get a free trial before signing up for any.
NOTE: Some service providers restrict their libraries with a country of use boundary lock which means that what you can view here can be different from the selection available in the US or UK. The major players are constantly battling against the use of VPN's (subscription service to allow you to pretend to be in another country) to overcome this.
