exactly. who actually watched anything on setanta apart from premiership football?

Fans of those sports

I got setanta for the GAA, before they even got the premier league. So Im left fucked over coz no one is likely to pick up the rights until next year, so i have go go to the pub.

Am a big boxing fan too, so when the prem and boxing deals came in it was a plus, as well as getting arsenal tv (even if it is shit).

Also a the great gooner Steve Bunce has been left without a show which is unthinkable...join the fight to get him back on air

Anyway it was setanta sports not setanta premier league, and i for one am pissed off at losing all that sport. If espn sign up a few more i might consider it.

i cancelled my sky sports and setanta months ago and wont be getting espn either, why would i waste money when every game we play is online on justin tv and other sites, so that will do for me.

what's the reception like Reb? I tried Justin TV (that sounds so wrong...

) a few months into last season and it was really bad...

How do you know it's Â£9 a month??

Cheers Projoe - good research. Good to see that it's available in HD too.

Will be getting ESPN without a doubt. Even if Arsenal are only on once a month it makes it worth it in my opinion seeing as it costs roughly Â£40 to go to a game (as well as travel expenses as our games on that channel are away ones).

Would probably go the pub to watch them if I lived in Highbury but I can't deal with all the southern Man United fans in my local pubs.

the connection was about 40euro so will be cheaper over there in trumpton

its a hdmi or something and depends on your tv.plugs the computer into the tv which is great for when you download films and stuff

pc world sell them so just ask and they will tell you what you need, tbh steve i was sick of paying out good money when i could watch for free online

Like Rebel, I will be viewing JustinTV.

Setanta was great, boxing, Prem football and Conference football all for 11.99.

There is no way I'll pay that crunt Maxwell to watch his platform.

Sounds good and I will investigate but I know my interweb speed is shite so that maybe a problem!

Seeing as we'll have half of our games re-arranged to 5.15 on a Saturday night I suppose I'll have no choice. As long as the coverage doesn't become too Americanised.....I mean Gallas is a great linebacker and all that and I expect Ade will get caught in the end zone too often but there must be an improvement on Setanta's fucking awful McManaman / Craig Burley efforts
