How do I find Setanta?

Quickie for yiz: On the basic NTL cable package I have a channel showing the list of upcoming matches on Setanta and Newstalk 106 playing on it.

I don't want to be still watching the listing after the game has kicked off, nor do I want to grow old waiting to talk to a human in NTL.
Thanks,

But Sky actually spend money on there program services , Setanta may as well go down the Submarine and ask drunk barflys for half time analysis and live commentary , the drunkards may be closer to the game than the Setanta commentators.

Everyone in Dublin should have it (as everyone in Dublin have cable, well nearly). I have Sky and NTL but can only watch the matches on NTL, you have to subscribe to the channel with Sky. There's likely to be Eircom league matches on it soon, 10 a season AFAIK.

Suprised a few of you only found it today.

We saw a glimpse of Aldo doing punditry for Scouse radio so Setanta should be able to afford someone like (name any of a million ex-pool players in the meeja).

You mean commentators of the quality of Andy Gray the one person who would cause me to put my foot through the telly. Jesus compared to listening to him I would prefer to hear the dulcet tones of the TV3 commentary team !!!

Setanta will show delayed coverage of St. Pats -v- Shamrock Rvrs on Saturday 4th at 10.40am. I presume they're showing it on the Saturday (as opposed to live) because there channel hasn't officially launched and only comes to life on Sat/Sun.

Other matches to look forward to on the same day are Switzerland -v- Faroe's (4.25pm), France -v- Israel (7.30pm) and Latvia -v- Portugal (9.45pm).

Celtic League rugby will also start on Setanta this month if anyone's interested.
