    When did Setanta Ireland obtain the rights to the Eircom League. According to their website they are showing St Pats vs Shamrock Rovers on Saturday 4th September at 11am.

    Is Setanta Sports a pay channel? I was in a friends house a few weeks ago and was watching the scottish football version of match of the day one morning, but then later that day the match was blue-screened.

    Are all the live matches etc pay per view?

    I see my question (partially) answered here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=183500

    Setanta is a pay channel on Sky Digital & free channel on ntl analogue & digital. They generally show some of the build-up/match preview on Sky, but then they jump back to being encrypted before a match starts.

    No, none of them are PPV, you have to subscribe to the channel @ €12.99 per month.

    In answer to this, TV3 hold the rights to show 5 matches per season, but its not exclusive, so another broadcaster (in this case Setanta) can broadcast more matches, if they want to. And it seems they are.
