As loathe as I am to give my money to Satan (Murdoch) I really want to get the Setanta set top box to catch live Premiership games.

Has anyone else made the investment?

If so, what are your thoughts on it? i understand it is about $15 a month.

Can't wait to see Arsenal stuff the Spuds tomorrow morning at 8.30am!!

don't think Murdoch has an interest in Setanta, unless he's bought in recently - it's owned by an Irishman called O'Rourke, isn't it?

Hubby's just ordered it - we're waiting for channel to appear so he can test it out this weekend. Yep I think it's about $15 a month - not a settop box for us though - just another channel on the satellite.

Cool. Hope he has it in time to see the Goons smoke Tottenham. (I love saying that)

hehehehe

Can you let me know how it goes?

I wish I had the opportunity (not so bothered about footie, as a half-hearted Pompey fan, but they have the Canadian rights to the rugby world cup :curse - we have Cogeco cable, who don't have an agreement with Setanta yet.

Saw the Rugby. I'm heading out to the Pub (which doesn't serve until 11am sadly) to watch the Rugby tomorrow, before watching the Spuds take a pasting tomorrow.

Is there any other type of non-"6:57 crew" pompey fan.

Years of losing a lead in the last 15 minutes.

Sure thing As I grew up in Portsmouth, I also have been known to go to the odd Fratton Park fixture - seems a long time ago now - before the Premier Division even existed - oh no, help - I turn 40 on Sunday

Oh, I'm quite pleased that I didn't have the opportunity to watch the game today. 36-0 wasn't too good, was it? Still, one must maintain the upper lip stiffly.

Sentanta's a bitch to find around here. I know one bar up in Aurora that has it, but that place is infested with Celtic heavies 'cos last season Sentanta had the SPL contract. Too dangerous for me.

I've discovered that Scallywag's at St. Clair and Yonge have Setanta.

I discovered to my surprise, that I have Setanta on my Rogers cable package. I say surprise 'cos I don't knowingly subscribe to any of the sports channels/packages. Anyway, it meant that I could watch the England SA game yesterday although I rather wish I hadn't bothered. Oddly on the channel guide it seems to imply I need to 'buy' the game as per pay for view but come the designated hour I get to watch it without buying, paying, entering any kind of pin number etc. I spose I'll have to wait til next months bill to see if I paid for the privilige of watching Englands humiliation.

We had the channel free (on Bellvue Express) for our first month here then it disappeared - I called and was told it is $14.99 which I believe OH is going to shell out for.
