Setanta balance poor 3pm satursdays Eng Prem League games with extra Eng FA Cup games live around bbctv/BT sport's live eng fa cup games

I like the way setanta Ireland show extra live french league and italian league games around 4pm/5pm on saturdays

Setanta pack gives me live German Bundesliga games except 230 pm saturdays games and live German Cup games
I watch the 230pm saturdays games on bet365.com as I make short odds bets to keep the account active

the goals show on champions league nights is very good

if it were between setanta/bt versus sky sports, id take setanta/bt. every game in the CL as well

Only discovered the Champions League Goal Show tonight, and it might just be the best thing ever. Love the studio guests as well, few great one-liners from them.

Never knew about the show till you mentioned it, enjoying it too. Good man.

I enjoyed tonights show but I couldnt understand the Frenchman covering the Arsenal match he spoke too fast.

julian lauran is easy to understand if you are a regular viewer of the 'european football show' every sunday like I am

the goals show is great between 730pm to 745pm

than I watched barca v leverkusan on setanta sports 1 HD

at half time back to the goals show

2nd half barca v leverkusan

full time analysis
the goal show full time analysis

champions league is bearable to watch if you ignore the UK/irish mainstream tv coverage

will setanta Ireland still show 2016 British open golf before the new deal kicks in from 2017 as bbctv gave up the live rights

The word on that is Sky will show the British Open live and TV highlights will be on the BBC from 2016.

Radio coverage on the BBC is unaffected.

I'm not sure about Setanta Ireland though I'm afraid.

BT probably won't release those numbers to the general public I'd imagine, unless they have been exceptionally high - Only advertisers would be able to request them.

They're in BARB, they don't really have a choice. (well they do, they can leave BARB...). Here you go:

I'm guessing soon, as they seem to have their player working now on www.setantago.com

At least able to get BT Sport 1, 2 and Europe to work, Setanta 1 + Ireland are throwing up errors about acquiring the licence, so not sure if it's just because F1 and NHL are currently on both channels. BT Sport ESPN throwing up an error code too.

Not sure if the watermark is big enough....hard to spot if I'm honest

SetantaGo only 30 secs behind satellite feed too - Impressive.

Won't work on iPad, need Silverlight to view on the website and no app yet. Hopefully an app is on the way.

Doesn't work on Chrome yet either.

it works very good on internet explorer on sky fibre broadband, no buffering

MisterAnarchy · 24-10-2015 6:23pm

Setanta bizarrely showed Aston villa vs Swansea today instead of mourinhos meltdown at West ham.
These rubbish 3pm kick offs are becoming very annoying.

Since their tie-in with BT Sport I think they're now restricted on the amount of times they can show each team

It's always been that way they are only allowed to show a certain amount of tier 1 matches a year. Nowt to do with BT. In fact BT couldn't give a ****e what Setanta show they are worrying about different things at the moment.

That's normal with Setanta. It's a grand HD picture for the game itself.

Another 3pm game on setanta which will draw little viewership.

Think I'll of load BT,
NFL and prem games involving the usual top 5/6 teams is all that interests me

Today a few yrs back they would have the utd game.

Id even prefer the leicester game right now

It's a good game and both teams actually have a few fans over here, whereas I've never met one Leicester fan here ever. Could they have done better if they had their pick of the games? Yes. Do they have their pick of the games though? No, their options are limited. I'm happy with it, we're lucky to get any televised 3pm kick-offs, given the fact they don't get any in the UK.

I was at MUFC v west brom, the game was boring and crap

these limited setanta 3pm live games are actually better for the viewer

Badabing · 09-11-2015 1:18pm

If man utd stay in the Champions League after Xmas it will mean more games on a Saturday afternoon and more opportunity for Setanta to show them more, within the restrictions obviously

Setanta Sports has secured the rights to BT Sport content in the Republic of Ireland in a new multi-year agreement commencing in 2016.

Currently Setanta Sports Pack customers have access to every UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League game, live FA Cup, live Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 as well as 35 live European Rugby Champions Cup games, 69 Aviva Premiership Rugby games, all the big live UFC events, Moto GP and the best in live US Sports.

From August 2016, BT Sport will have 42 exclusively live Premier League Games including the 28 Saturday 5.30pm games.

“This is great news for our customers and means that sports fans in Ireland will continue to receive the great sports content that BT Sport brings to our pack,” Michael O’Rourke, co-founder and CEO of Setanta Sports said.

“The BT Sport channels have gone from strength to strength both in terms of production and sports content and our Irish customers truly value that the Setanta pack is the only place to receive these great channels.”

Delia Bushell, Managing Director of BT TV and BT Sport, added: “Setanta Sports have been great to work with over the past two and a half years and we are delighted that they will continue to carry our BT Sport channels for the long term.

“We have seen their passion for sport first hand and look forward to growing the relationship in the future.”

I have a suggestion for Setanta for next season.

They should bid for the 3pm SPL rights for next season and they would get the Celtic/Rangers audience for it.

celtic audience maybe

I e-mailed them to show the 230pm bundesliga live games on saturdays as BT Sport has the rights for UK/Ireland but setanta could sublicence them as a soft promotional too for the setanta pack

icdg · 21-11-2015 10:00pm

Depending on what goes on elsewhere, Setanta could be down to one Setanta branded channel by the time the next season starts, if Setanta and Premier Sports go their separate ways.

Could even be eirSport!
They registered eirSport.ie earlier this summer

Widescreen · 22-11-2015 8:19pm

I think Eircom takeover is bad news for the customer. I don't like their phone package offers where they give a half decent offer for six months and then hike the price.(most people probably don't even know the price will rise after six months because the print telling you this is so small)

If they run the sports channel the same way, they won't last long.

They should stick to their core business

It's ironical that Setanta have finally got something going and then sell out.

I like the fact that they will deal on the pricing - will Eircom do the same?!?

mikeym · 25-11-2015 3:34pm

There seems to be no news in regard to Setantago or is the buyout from Eir inevitable?

I hope the setanta pack's on satellite decreases back to €200 for 12 months as the content has decreased or if they have the 230pm bundesliga live games on saturdays, the price can stay the same

They have had a sale for annual subscription for €129 since Friday. Bizarrely I didn't see anything about it in Bargain Alert section. I only cancelled couple weeks ago and just emailed to re subscribe with this offer. Ad says it ends Monday !

Joo0 · 03-12-2015 12:14am

Only offer available now is 15 euro for the month.

Southampton V Villa is the 15.00 match today. And the big match for the rest of the world is Man United V West Ham. Shocking.
