    Can anyone clear up the situation for me regarding EPL football and coverage of it on what channels in Ireland?

    I have heard mix messages, some say NOTHING has changed re: Setanta in Ireland and we will get the same as we did last year, but others I saying it is limited, and yet others are saying it all went to ESPN.

    I have cancelled my sub to Setanta, and have signed up with ESPN (€13) My thinking was, I get SkySports already, so I will now get 46 extra games on ESPN in HD for on €13 + I should pick up a lot of games for free on Setanta IRELAND without a need of a subscription to Setanta anyway?

    Can somebody PLEASE clarify the position, Cheers!;)

    I have sky. I cancelled setanta so I wont see any of the 3pm sat games on set ire.
    I got espn too so should see a fair clatter of games on that. ESPN also do german/italian/french and American (beckham) football, so €12/13 a month is decent value.

    Yes but can anyone clarify, or not, that Setanta "in Ireland" will continue to cover all the EPL games they did - OR, do "Setanta in Ireland" only have the 3pm kick off's, and if so, are they also on ESPN?

    So basically it looks like Setanta (in Ireland) still have the 3 o'clock games, and nobody else does?? But we are not sure if they will be on Setanta Ireland (no subscription required if you have Sky) or Setanta Sports 1 (Subscription required, even if you have Sky)!

    Well seems like with Sky, ESPN, and the free 3 o'clock games I will get on setanta Ireland I will see most Spurs games this year on TV!!:D and most in Hi def.....cool;) and for about 20 squids cheaper than I paid with my Setanta subscription last year - budubdumbdubder...........I'm Lovin it!
