    Where has ESPN America ended up on Sky?
    I read that it was now part of the News & Events Mix but channel 430 now says to ring sky or press red to subscribe.
    Do you have to subscribe to ESPN to get ESPN America? Is this the same in the UK?

    It is not part of News & Events since Monday. You must subscribe to ESPN to watch it.

    I see that those adding ESPN online in the UK receive a credit of £5 against their account. Is this available here?

    €7 here.

    I applied for ESPN online and with no sign of it being added I rang and got it added manually, got the €7 credit too, so ask and you'll receive :)

    €7 credit? Nobody told me - the rascals


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Tarabuses


    Where is the link to purchase online in Ireland?

    (I don't know if anyone that chose to upgrade online actually got the channel switched on, best advice seems to be to phone Sky)

    It has worked for some but if you want it turned on tonight you are best to ring Sky. But say the website does not work and ask for the €7 credit. Ask and you should receive.

    Yeah used to love to watch the baseball games and often had a little flutter om em:o, watching baseball is very relaxing.

    So does the €12 sub cover ESPN, ESPN HD and ESPN America? or is ESPN america still part of the Setanta package?

    ESPN America is not part of the Setanta package anymore. ESPN HD is only available on satellite if you have both ESPN and Sky HD subscriptions.

    so ESPN America is now part of the ESPN package then? I ask is because i have sky sports + HD + ESPN + Setanta* (*at a reduced rate),

    The only reason that i got setanta in the first place was for ESPN america...

    Yes. ESPN America ceased being part of the Sentanta package Monday of last week.

    So, how does one now get ESPN America? Can't believe I missed the Yankees/Sox series, although, it's probably a good thing, not seeing the Sox getting whooped!

    Subscribe to ESPN.

    Just registered online with ESPN, is there extra charge for multiroom, I thought there wasn't but requested single viewing card number or option to add your second card number.

    Anyone know who are EPL presenters or commentry team on ESPN

    Ray Stubbs (ex-BBC) is one of the presenters for the Premier League football
    Ian Wright and Peter Reid are two of the pundits
    Kelly Dalglish/Cates will be also working for them (Kenny's daughter and she used to work with Setanta)

    No. I contacted ESPN and asked that same question because I think I had being paying €3 a month or something for Setanta multiroom but was advised that there's no additional charge for ESPN multiroom - it's viewable by default.

    If you subscribe to ESPN do you also get ESPN America or is this a separate stand alone subscription channel?

    Subscribe to ESPN and you get ESPN America as a separate bonus channel.
