Even with a perfect setup, you may encounter glitches. Here is a quick troubleshooting guide:

| Problem | Likely Solution | | :--- | :--- | | Buffer wheel / low quality | Your internet speed is insufficient. Rai 2 HD requires at least 5 Mbps. Run a speed test. | | VPN not working | Switch to a different Italian server. Rai actively blocks VPN IP ranges. Contact your VPN’s support for “streaming-optimized” servers. | | Audio out of sync | Refresh the browser or restart the RaiPlay app. This is often a transient codec issue. | | Black screen with no error | Disable ad-blockers. RaiPlay requires them off for DRM playback. |

If you are outside Italy, Rai operates a paid service called Rai Italia via satellite (Tivùsat or Hotbird) and cable partnerships in select countries (e.g., the US on Comcast, or in Canada on Rogers). However, this is not free and requires a subscription.
