I received my ITVN box yesterday through FedEx. It took me a while to install just because I had to reset my cable connections. But it is a very easy set up.

The image quality is good. I watched the France-Bosnia Game last night and it was GREAT. I Have no way of getting setanta any other way, So i am on cloud nine at the moment.

I am also an Arsenal Fan and realized that most of the Arsenal Games will be on Setanta EXTRA which is not available on ITVN.

This is a bit unfair since an ITVN subcriber is paying the same price as the direct TV subscriber but we are getting less games.

Gaffer can you ask Setanta about this issue.

Love your podcast..

I received my ITVN box yesterday, and was happy to see that Setanta was up and running this morning. I have been watching the channel for the past few hours, and I'm very impressed with ITVN. I'm streaming at 700k and the picture quality while not as good as my digital cable is roughly the equivelent of watching a vcr tape. I've had virtually no buffering at 700k. I was fairly doubtful that I would be satisfied with the service, but after watching the better part of two matches I'm completely sold. Best money I've ever spent.

ITVN will broadcast the Setanta USA channel live. So whatever EPL matches (and other leagues) Setanta shows, ITVN will show.

The only exception is for the "overflow" matches on Setanta, which they'll play on Setanta Extra (DirecTV channel 670]. Those will not be shown on ITVN. To see that schedule, look here for the channel 670 listings.

Cheers,

Does that mean they will broadcast live all the EPL games the channel would over DirectTV?

Setanta Extra is exclusively available to DirecTV viewers only.

ITVN will broadcast the Setanta USA channel.

Just listened to the interview - no mention of why the content of Setanta Extra is not available via ITVN, several of the upcoming Premiership matches being slated for broadcast on that channel....
