Its free for a month according to a mate of mine. My old man has had right agg with them when he wanted to cancel his subscription in the UK.

It's coming up to cancellation time anyway...I wonder why they promote it before the summer???

Just my blimmin' luck.....we are off to the UK this week!!!!!

Only cancellation time for the footie fans. If you like rugby a lot from the southern hemisphere, then summere here is the time to get it. Personally, I cancel the day after the FA Cup final until the Premier League starts again.

Back in the UK i only ever followed International rugby union...

So I read what's going on through BBC Sports but i never seem to find it on Setanta...although now I have a PVR maybe i should search out for it and record it if it's on.

I considered that before. But going through the phone menu and then waiting endlessly for someone to speak to? And then again to get it back.

I know I could do it by email but there are no guarantees that way.

Now that Setanta has some other things worth a look...Sports news, The Special One I'm even less likely to cancel. Otherwise I might have to rely on your favourite Fox footie news.

I found last year that there wasn't anything on but rugby/aussie rules.

Technically you don't save alot of money $30 roughly in total and then they charge you $5 for either cancelling or rebuying (one of them) so it's only saving $25 I would rather save $25 than spend $30 and not watch it.

That must depend on the provinder I suppose. You've actually just reminded me there is a fee if it's done by email but not by phone. Or at least not when I last made a change with ours.

Last summer, there may well not have been much other than rugby or Aussie (no) rules. But there are also 'friendlies' which are often worth a look. Various UEFA/FIFA tournaments at several age levels are also in summer.

Setanta is offering so much more now than it did a year ago and that's why I say I'm less likely to cancel for summer.

To be honest, what they give us in Canada is absolutely brilliant for such a low cost. I feel like rewarding them by subscribing for the summer even if I don't watch. Just don't tell them.

Its not free to a Business. My wifes restaurant pay $200 per month + any pay per view.

It is a good subscription but I have a sneaky feeling that the service wont last long as the score will probably give them some competition soon...especially due to setanta losing out on some games to sky...If only they bought some boxing rights out here that would be good.

Also talking of boxing will the brit cafe be hosting hatton vs pacman on may 2?

Does Setanta show Rugby League matches or do they just show Union ? I might consider subscribing after the free preview is over.

I've seen rugby league on there but I don't know if it's a regular service or not

I can't swear to this but this may have no impact on what Setanta Canada shows. The service may continue to show games in Canada that are shown in the UK either on Sky or Setanta just as they do now.

They show super league games 'live' on Friday afternoons (although not every week) and some Aussie RL as well.

Yeah i'm not sure if the UK holder sells the international rights or whether the PL sells the international rights...but if it's down to sky to sell them, they may not want to sell to a rival (Setanta) but rather sell to someone like the score/rogers...But again it's probably down to the PL who gets the international rights. Anyone know?
