Setanta is a rip off they have hardly shown any of the big matches this season and now the season is finishing they showing the big match so to fool everyone in thinking they do this all the time and people will go and buy ready for next season. If you wanna watch all the big matches go to www.freewebs.com/frankiegoe... and you can watch for nothing.

How Setanta can justify $15/month , show on average 2 decent games a month (the rest is a pile of the proverbial) and then put the best stuff on their extra channel that you can only watch in select bars, I have no clue but from the rest of the responses it looks like they are getting away with it. I guess it's a good craic; or some pikey get rich scheme.

Setanta is a bit of a must in the UK right now.

Just this past weekend , there were three critical games in the Premier League: Fulham v. Birmingham, and the United and Chelsea games. All three were on Setanta. Enough said.
Fox Soccer Channel, for second year in a row, is showing the "second best" Premier League games.
I wander if Setanta Extra is showing the Pompey-Fulham game...

I have been holding off on a switch from comcast to verizon FIOS until one or the other starts to offer both FSC and Setanta. I don't know if this is news or not (maybe just in my area), but I recently got a mailing from verizon that they will be offering DirecTV programming over their fiber optic network. - - could be exactly what I've been waiting for.

Yup, Setanta is a necessity; I'm glad I got it.

im already trying to make plans for next year because while setanta broadband is better than ITVN, its not a long term solution. i really need it on cable but that just isnt happening. i just cant imagine another year of watching half my matches on a computer
