Is Setanta free at the moment?
 
We seem to be able to watch stuff on Setanta at the mo - football and rugby and stuff. Has it become free all of a sudden? We haven't specifically subscribed to it at all.

Has anyone else out there got this strange phenomenon? We have Shaw digital by the way.

We appear to have it at the moment too. Dragons vs Munster, amusingly the referee is sponsored by SpecSavers :rofl:

Here it's free on Cogeco for March - I'd imagine it's the same on Shaw as they seem to be somehow related...

Yeah looks like it's free for all of March. Arsenal vs Burnley coming on in a bit :unsure:

Every so often, as an advertising gimmick, the cable/satellite companies offer the "buy" channels for a period. This includes The Movie Network.

Well, wonder if I can have a word with the pub that plays all the 6 Nations and charges us $10 to get in to watch it..... Seems a bit rich they still charge for a month when it's free.... Not sure they'll buy it though.....

I don't have a telly at all, and am starting to think perhaps I should get one, I know sentanta is an addition.......
