    I am looking into getting Setanta through a Canadian company NexTV over here in the US. It will work out very reasonable I think at either 22 dollars a month or once of payment of 200 for the year. 16 a month.
    The only thing i was wondering about the resolution of this service, it says its a resolution of 720 x 480 and speed of 900kbs. As far as i am aware this will be great for a standard resolution TV, am i right?

    And if anyone has other suggestions on other companies to go through to get setanta i would appreciate the info.

    720x480 is NTSC "D1" standard definition used on DVDs and other digital formats. Unfortunately over here we use PAL not NTSC, and PAL D1 is 720x576 and is a different framerate - so that Setanta stream will be going through some (possibly very crappy) conversion process to make it NTSC compliant.

    The bitrate info isn't much use without knowing what encoding they're using - if it's MPEG4 AVC (H.264) or VC-1 it should be quite good, but anything else would look awful.
