    "Subscribe now and get the Setanta Sports Pack for €199 per year. That’s 10 months for the price of 12 and there’s no connection fee!"

    Surely it's 12 months for the price of 10?

    Lol!

    No,it's just what you use them for that's all.

    BTW,anyone looking for a Sky card,ask friends or family as there's usually somebody with one lying around.There must be half a dozen in a drawer here.

    I'm presuming it needs to be the latest white sky card, its been a long long time since I subscribed.

    Great offer. I applied this morning and got an email confirmation. Unfortunately still no channels.
    I'm using an old Sky Box (no sky sub on this box for about 2 years) with the correct card.
    I would imagine they are fairly busy at the moment but might give them a ring later on.

    Surely they'd be better off getting €1 per month from nearly every household in the country as opposed to €15 per month (or whatever it is) from a handful?

    Hi Dan, you will need an active Republic of Ireland Sky satellite card to avail of this offer.

    That's me done for the evening folks.

    I'll be back tomorrow to answer any more queries.

    Don't think so.

    I seem to remember someone mentioning before that Setanta can actually send you out a valid Sky card so you can get the ftv channels and subscribe to Setanta without Sky.

    Maybe check the satellite forum?

    correct.

    a uk ftv card cannot be used to get setanta here in ROI.

    you do not need to be a sky subscriber. all you need is a sky box (a hd box is sufficient)

    if you ring setanta they will send u you out a card , when the card arrives place in your sky box and ring setanta they will activate the card for you and you will have the 5 channels.

    normal price is €19.99 but if you are thinking of cancelling they will reduce the monthly price to €12.99. Happy with that as that is my only monthly tv expense!!

    I'd probably hold on at 12.99, but if I threaten to cancel after just this month at 1 euro will I be offered it at 12.99?
