    Hi all,

    Is Eircom's Setanta online thing any good?
    Where can you find the schedule?

    Cheers,
    Keith

    The daily schedule is immediately below the video player, with a button for the weekly schedule on the top right of the daily schedule.

    It's restricted by IP addresses to Eircom ranges.

    A home Eircom connection?

    Only eircom customers connecting through the following Broadband packages are eligible to view Setanta Sports events on the Always on for Sport service - broadband time, broadband home starter, broadband home plus and broadband home professional.

    Otherwise the page and streaming is definitely up.

    Then you never get as far as the page with the Media Player window? Can you access the video archives?

    Then I'm afraid you'll have to raise this with Eircom support as to why you can't get to the pages. I can only help with the video streaming part, which is no good to you if you can't get there.

    Unable to play video file.

    Only works for me every now and again and normally it doesnt work for any live soccer or rugby. For the fulham and liverpool game, i got some message about going to soccer republic.

    For the magners league i got an image of a refs watch with a title, now showing.

    Its a joke of a service!!

    That's the holding graphic for when something can't be shown, usually for legal reasons. The Magners league doesn't start till 1pm.

    No, soccer republic doesn't need a login to watch, only for the chatbox thingy.
