If you have internet (broadband or ASDL) try this site http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/ The quality isn't always too good, but it works ok

No Foxtel, no Setanta.

Your best bet would be iinet/westnet for the EPL as DrWho nd Bridie suggested.

You can also get Setanta without subscribing to Foxtel.
You can probably realign your existing Foxtel dish and buy a suitable decoder.

Check out this link for details

Not exactly true

I bought a PVR with built in tuners and contacted Setanta who put me onto AAACOM to order the Card for my box. All i had to do was move the dish very slightly to pick up the signal and away it went. Setanta without the need for Foxtel
The only difference is the price at that time was $30pm this was before Foxtel could even show Setanta but as soon as Foxtel could show it they dropped the price to equivalent which is now $15pm

You do. A friend uses iiNet and has access to Premier League games however the quality of the streaming is a bit hit and miss (the sound and picture are often out of synch). If you are a hard core football fan then I don't think that this would be good enough to meet your needs.
