    Can I recommend, Setanta by Broadband? Championship week in College Basketball plus the CONCACAF qualifiers have brought broadband to a whole new level for me. Broadband is the way to go, and Setanta Broadband gives you additional leagues and games you won't see on Setanta by tv.

    i emailed itvn to cancel my subscription on thursday. unrelated, i received the email this morning that setanta was no longer on itvn. i'm in grad school and live on campus so itvn was a life-saver for arsenal matches, great bandwidth on campus. i'll definitely miss having that box.

    Don't throw your ITVN boxes away ,they make great beer coasters.
    If only I'd known about broadband before...

    I'm speaking for Setanta here, and just want to clarify some issues that have arisen lately.

    First, we'd love to be on cable and have been approaching them even before we launched on DirecTV or Dish. Unfortunately, the cable cos haven't been responsive to us, but we keep slogging away at them. If you go to our website, www.setantanorthamerica.com, you can see that in Canada, we are available on many platforms (both cable and satellite) because the companies up there were anxious to get Setanta on their systems.

    Second, for those who were ITVN customers, it was unforseen that they were in financial difficulty, otherwise we would not have partnered with them to begin with. They were providers of our channel (like DirecTV or Dish) and therefore, Setanta does not have influence on their liquidity or their customer service.

    If there are further queries, please feel free to address them to customerservice-usa@setanta.com
    Thanks

    Just a reminder... all cable users should contact their cable company and request Setanta Sports. If enough of us do, then maybe we can get them to add it to their lineup.
