    Not getting anything here apart from a still of a Seat URL since early this evening - box reset didn't help. Anyone else?

    Same here, Reset mine too took 20 minutes to get the signal back! Sweet Jebus! ESPN is working though, but I suppose same games are on both channels tonight (Setanta HD andf ESPN HD)!

    Absolutely incredible support from UPC just there :)

    I spoke to a lady who advised me that I was the first to call about it (down since at least 5.30) and that she would report the issue, but it could take 24 - 48 hours for it to be looked at. "Thanks for letting us know..."

    Quality stuff, you would think they would have UPC in the UPC offices, knowing them they probably have Sky in the canteen!

    I find with UPC you are always the first person to call in about something. Always the same.

    +1, they have the worst customer service in the world & probably just about as bad a HD line up to match.....

    It's gone again!

    Screen frozen in a prematch line-up. Reset doesn't do anything.

    Same for everyone else, I presume before I call?

    It must be a rights issue cause it's only ever happened during the Europa League coverage.

    Champions League also - although it only happens on the HD, SD is fine. I tried to say that, or that it might be an ESPN issue, to the guy this evening, but he refused to listen.

    He was more interested in selling me a phone & broadband package. Tosser.

    416 now broadcasting as soon as CSKA game over. Definitely ESPN up to something.

    Do UPC know, or care?

    I am surprised that it took this long for them block their coverage during the Europa League. It is odd though that SD is fine.

    This, ROI customers dont get to watch the EL for rights reasons. Same last year.

    Maybe the game isnt broadcast in HD???
    Im very surprised as this is something you would see Setanta doing not ESPN!

    If this was happening due to the game not being available in HD then it would have been up-scaled.
