Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Sad news 'Footy fans'...we may be loosing our live Premiership/Scottish Prem, etc in the near future. Viz:

Setanta faces administration "within days" unless backers provide more funds to pay £30m it owes to the English Premier League, reports have suggested.
The broadcaster has already failed to pay the Scottish Premier League £3m it owes in television rights money.



Jings crivens help ma boab....Did so enjoy the live premiership games of a Saturday/Sunday etc..... :( Wonder what else I should spend that portion of my Satelite subscription on?

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

I hope they do collapse so we can get three saturday games back on Sportsnet. Or ESPN/TSN may bid for the rights, so plenty of free channels to watch.

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

I would prefer if they all continnue...gives much more choice of the games we can watch...and a lot more 'live' transmissions too....including World cup Qualifiers etc....

P.S....no such thing as a free meal....:cool:

If you get a decent computer there all free on the Internet!:thumbup:

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Prefer to watch on a 52" flat screen.....spend too much time on this bloody PC anyway...

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Something which it is entirely possible to do with the right computer and high speed internet connection.;)

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Plus you can have the televised match running in PIP with a couple of other matches streamed through, at least so I've heard.

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

and lots of money....:eek:...like with much in life, that commodity is usually the deciding factor.....;)

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Not really............$600 laptop and standard Shaw internet speed

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Well, you already have the 52" big screen which is the expensive item. Assuming it has an HDMI input then all you need is a computer with a HDMI output which as Brownstar points out is $600. Or rather less than the big screen. If you don't have the right computer and are happy in downloading and watching rather than streaming then go buy a Western Digitial Media player & USB thumb drive from tigerdirect.ca for $200 or so and connect it to your TV. Bob is then your mothers brother.

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

The internet feeds I have come across are somewhat shaky even on a small screen. Hate to think what they look like blown up to that definition.

Anyway, I'm noty getting into an argument. I do tend to catch what I want to see footie wise on the interwebby.

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Noooooo. :thumbdown: They don't do football properly at all. The announcers are terrible and are rarely at the game. The in-studio people seem disinterested. Then they plaster crap about baseball and American football etc all over the screen, well the bit you can see through their enormous ESPN/TSN logos.
They should leave our football alone and concentrate on ruining their own sports. :frown:

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Could not have put it more succinctly myself.....US/Canadian commentators/commentary is woefully excruciating....and could be classed as cruel and unusual punishment!!:eek:

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

I have a decent computer, its the bloody internet connection at home thats the insurmountable obsticle for me:sneaky:

The online feeds always seem sort of crappy to me anyway, generally asian in source too...china or thereabouts?


The bad news is that if ESPN pick up the slack it will mean Tommy bloody onionbag Smyth is back again:eek:

Re: Ouch - Setanta 'is on brink of collapse'
 

Double.:eek::eek: I know I have been bad but I don't deserve that!!!!
