ESPN is blocked on Sky for the Europa League so that would make sense

Setanta showed whatever the best Serie A game at the time was. They didn't show Bundesliga though.

Not blocked on UPC

And? It is still blocked for thousands of Irish subscribers

The reverse is true of ITV4's coverage, however.

Regarding Europe league for next season.
This weeks match between Hearts vs Liverpool is listed for ITV4, Setanta Sports 1.
Not shown on the listings for 3e in Ireland. They did get the tv rights for next few seasons AFAIK. It could also be that the tv listings are not updated yet ?

I don't think the last qualifying round is included in the Europa League rights in the same way that they are with the Champions League. So you will have to have ITV4 (probably be blocked on UPC) or Setanta Sports 1.

Anyone know when TV3 expect to have a HD channel set up? It would be great to see the Champions League/Europa League in HD on both RTE and TV3.

...... and Setanta HD on sky.

Yeah that's the case. The Champions League rights kick in at the "Play-Off Round" (which is being played Tuesday and Wednesday) but the Europa League doesn't till the group stages. But there is a Round of 32 in the Europa League in January which the Champions League doesn't have.
