Arsenal TV on Setanta! Not via Freeview it aint....!!

Post by MK Gould »

I've just checked with Setanta and can confirm that - despite no such warning on either Setanta & Arsenal websites - Arsenal TV will NOT be available on Freeview!

I'm sure there are great technical reasons why this is the case, but at least the b*st*rds should come clean and admit that Freeview subscribers will get only one (not the advertised eight!) channels and that there will be no Arsenal specific content at all......!

It'll be interesting to see whether anyone with Freeview has already signed up with Setanta off the back of the Arsenal TV adverts??

ISN'T THE SITUATION THAT YOU CAN GET ARSENAL TV ON FREEVIEW, BUT ONLY IF YOU SUBSCRIBE? IF THAT IS SO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS - UNLESS SETANTA SAID IN THEIR ADVERTISING THAT YOU WOULD GET IT FOR NOTHING VIA FREEVIEW. IN WHICH CASE, YOU HAVE A POINT.

THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT, ARSENAL TV IS A SUBSCRIPTION CHANNEL SO WHETHER YOU GET IT VIA SATELLITE, CABLE OR FREEVIEW BOX, YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT (ALTHOUGH I THINK OUR IRISH FRIENDS MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET IT FOR FREE 8) :lol: :wink:

Its not on Freeview full stop. You pay for Setanta but on Freeview it doesn't include Arsenal TV!

On Satellite, I don't think you pay extra for Arsenal - its just part of the package.
