So it's more like €22 for two months?

They haven't made the terms and conditions clear yet. However it seems to be phrased that way. It will be interesting to see in Friday.

They're also saying on twitter that you can cancel after the first month without an extra charge.

The €1 offer is now online, no other charges provided you cancel within the month.

I'm sure they'll offer deals to people to keep it beyond that point, but even if they don't, one euro for one month is well worth it.

I wonder this time can you cancel at any time during the month and still keep the service for the time remaining.You had to wait until the last day with the previous €1 offer that caused a few problems

no usually the €9.99 offer is a retention offer. Most subscribers are on €9.99 a month for three months, and opt to ring up a month before the offer expires, and they give you the offer a gain if you threaten to cancel.

I e mailed them and got a reply saying the subscription will be cancelled on the day you contact them. There is an option to cancel online so easy enough to do
BTW it doesn't have be for this month, you can wait till September for example but site doesn't say how long the promotion is running for

Well I got an email confirming that I have signed up, but the office hours are until 5.30. I presume someone in setanta has to put me onto the system and send the signal too me.

If you have been paying just 10 per month since Christmas, you have done well!

Have to agree with this. Anyone I've spoken to from Setanta has been very helpful and always willing to honour the 10 a month.

Wonder will they give us new subscribers 10 a month deal after the trial ends, highly unlikely I'd say.

Hey, I'm trying to sign up here as a UPC customer but it's asking me for a 9-Digit viewing card number, which I can't seem to find on UPC.

Any ideas?

Ok, but when I hit the "Click Here for UPC" option below that link it jsut brings me here: http://www.upc.ie/television/premium/

Which doesn't seem to show any option for the €1 offer?

Yeah - it just gives you the UPC link if you want to subscribe. You can subscribe there, but not get the €1 offer.

Kinda misleading, I know. They do state it's for satellite customers:

Starting Friday August 1st – Subscribe to the Setanta Sports Pack for just €1

New satellite customers who sign up to the Setanta Pack from August 1st will receive their first month for €1.

Going to sign up for this but have a couple of questions:

1. When they say its “free for the first month” is that free for a month after I sign up or free for August? If the former then might wait a few days as nothing much on this week.
2. Is there a 30/31 day cancellation period like Sky Sports? So if I don’t want it for a second month should I cancel straight away and if I do will this cancel the service straight away or like Sky will I keep it for the month while on the cancellation period?

Thanks

For anyone on eVision with Eircom they are offering the sports pack free for two months but you must remember to cancel before the deal ends or they will charge you the regular 16 per month.

+1 on the above.

Just to add that if the trial offer isn't cancelled within the 30 days from date of sign up then the next month will cost €21.99. The following is an extract from the email I received from Setanta

Terms And Conditions
A connection fee of €1 applies for this service. Offer available online only. Offer available for credit card and debit card customers only. You can cancel your subscription in the first 30 days by going online. Setanta is a subscription service. Customers who do not cancel during their 30 day trial will be billed €21.99 per month or €199 per year thereafter. There is no annual contract but 30 days’ notice of cancellation will be required after the trial period expires. Offer available for satellite customers only. Offer does not apply to existing customers. Fixtures subject to change.

So, do you inquire through Setanta's site or Eircom's? Edit - checked Eircom's site, seems you just ring 1901, and you're sorted for your two months!

As long as it's one of the white ones I think.
I have a sky hd box in the bedroom with an old blue card and I tried to put Setanta on to it but it wouldn't work.

Watch out for that

To cancel online you need a customer number from Setanta, to get that you need to ring Setanta

Source: did any of you get/know your customer number. + the Setanta twitter acc saying that's now to get the number

You might get it off them by email though

If one takes up this 1€ subscription do you have to give 30 days notice in order to cancel.
Do you need to cancel immediately after signing up in order to avoid being caught out for full price for a second month.?
Anyone got experience in the cancellation procedure.
Thanks

Tell me this and tell me no more...

If you use the online cancellation form are you less likely to be offered a reduced rate? Like does it just cancel it straight away as opposed to on the phone where the rep can offer the reduced rate before you cancel for good?
