    Worked a treat, must have been a recent addition!

    No ESPN HD though........No signal!

    Access via 'other channels' I presume? Is there a plan or a date announced to have then added to the EPG for easier access I wonder?

    Channel doesn't launch until the 20th, so I'd expect it on the EPG then.

    I thought Setanta would have announced the 3pm kick off matches by now.

    They seem to be more interested in promoting Conor McGregor.

    No Man Utd/Liverpool or Arsenal 3pm Saturday games in the first 3 weeks so harder to pick them weeks but my guesses for the early part of the season are:

    Aug 8 Bournemouth v Aston Villa
    Aug 15 Spurs v Stoke
    Aug 22 Sunderland v Swansea
    Aug 29 Liverpool v West Ham
    Sep 12 Arsenal v Stoke
    Sep 19 Aston Villa v WBA
    Sep 26 Man Utd. v Sunderland

    I'm guessing
    Week 1: Everton vs Watford
    2: Spurs vs Stoke
    3: Palace vs Villa
    4: Liverpool vs Westham
    5: city vs palace
    6: Sc vs Everton
    7: United vs Sunderland

    This game will be a Sunday match if West Ham progress to the 4th qualifying round of the Europa League. It may even be moved prior to the outcome of the 3rd qualifying round being decided. West Ham play the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League this Thursday with the 2nd leg a week later.

    ...........

    Will the BT Champions League and Europa Cup game be available in Ireland?
    Or will it be like last year, with BT coverage of Europa Cup games blocked.
    I know Sky had the non-exclusive Irish right to their champions league coverage, but had BT bought the same?

    Yes. The deal for Ireland is slightly different this year because Setanta now have the rights to show all games (before, TV3 and RTE had exclusive rights over their picks). They've confirmed they'll be showing them all here, so no more blocking.

    The Champions League central TV rights don't kick in until the play-off round and the Europa League until the group stage. Everything before that is sold on a one-off basis by the home club.

    Thinking of subscribing to the BT/Setanta pack for the new Premier League season. We have UPC at home so currently the pack would cost €19 per month. Is it worth subscribing now at that price, or do people reckon there'll be a better deal closer to the start of the new season?

    I got the setanta sports pack for two months this summer and when i asked to cancel my sub, i said that i would only condsider subscribing for a year if i got a decent money-off deal like the €99 a year a lot of people on boards have gotten in the past.

    I know i wouldn't get it that low now with all the extra content and channels they are adding but anyway the sales person came back and offered me a deal for 1 year @ €199. Anyone think thats still a good offer?

    Bear in mind i only watch football not into other sports at all.
    Seems very high i was hopefull of something around the €130-€150 mark for the 12 months.

    Also can you cancel the sub during the summer months when theres no competitive football on and then start it back up again when the season starts? Don't see the point paying for sports that i don't watch.

    no setanta pack discounts for UPC Tv subscribers, discounts are mostly for satellite customers

    I wouldn't say Liverpool fans are doing back-flips with them fixtures.

    United of course will have at least 5 - adding in the CL qualifier.

    Up to the end of September Sky are showing 4 of their games and Setanta are showing 1.

    I don't see what they have to be complaining about.

    What exactly has Sky go to do with a Setanta/BT Sport thread?

    Sky as you know I'm sure is nothing to do with a subscription to Setanta/BT.

    Slim pickings that weekend as none of the big clubs are playing at 3pm saturday. And it'll be nice to see Harry Arter play.

    I know a fair few Villa supporters who presumably started following them when Staunton, Mcgrath etc. were playing there. They are a quiet bunch these days though :)

    Think you missed my point, not everyone who has the Setanta pack has Sky.

    Anyway, would you agree though that as a Liverpool fan who only has Setanta would be a bit cheesed off?

    Yep, the first season of the Premier League a few Villa fans emerged from the garden shed and quickly went back lol

    It is a bit pointless commenting on the amount of Liverpool matches that have been selected so far in the Premier League without acknowledging the fact that Liverpool's fixtures available to both BT Sport firstly and then Setanta in the Premier League are severely affected in the first half of the season by Liverpool being in the Europa League group stage.

    Even the Setanta pick of Liverpool v West Ham is not certain to be a Saturday match if West Ham get to the 4th qualification round of the Europa League.

    BT Sport will I am certain use their maximum quota of seven Liverpool matches in the Premier League over the course of the season. They are guaranteed to have both Liverpool v Arsenal and Liverpool v Man. City in the New Year. I also think that BT Sport will have either Tottenham v Liverpool or Chelsea v Liverpool in October with a very small possibility of them having both, BT Sport will already have shown Chelsea and Spurs twice in their Saturday slot prior to those fixtures I am suggesting, the maximum is five per team across the season for their Saturday TV slot.

    It is not so simple for Setanta to pick Liverpool matches when as I have stated above they are playing on Sundays after Thursdays in the Europa League. For example Liverpool v Norwich has not been picked by Sky but has been moved to the Sunday but is not available for either BT Sport or Setanta to broadcast.

    Of course it should also be mentioned that anyone who is a subscriber to Setanta in Ireland on the Sky platform are guaranteed to be able to see all six Europa League matches involving Liverpool this side of Christmas.

    They should be in HD, and have been on the test feed. It's just they haven't been flagged as such. Can't always go by the EPG data.
