  • That is fantastic news for many people. I personally know three people who have cable through Verizon and would jump on the opportunity to subscribe to Setanta!
  • It's great news for Verizon FIOS customers but that's about it. Unfortunately Verizon's service isn't available in most areas of the country. A call to their customer service line says they have no idea when it'll be added to my area, for example.

    Still, every little bit counts, but we're still waiting for the big one -- having Setanta added to the cable heavyweights Comcast and Time Warner.

  • They don't offer it in my area, either. However, this is a step in the right direction. I'm sure Comcast is keeping tabs on it...maybe I'll give 'em another call to request Setanta again...
  • Well thats nice but as the Gaffer points out it's not a cable heavyweight. The real news will come in the 09/10 season when we find if ESPN gets in the act if by that time Setanta is not owned by ESPN. Watch the #'s carefully for Euro 08 on ESPN. The future of soccer TV in America is partly on the line. No pun intended.
  • great fr me but the fella above with his ESPN commentary is probably spot on....
