    this is for the setanta pack to cancel online isn't it?

    they don't send it or a letter, you've to ring up to get it. then you can cancel online. actually true :pac:

    you could cancel via email instead of that form on the website though.
    people cancelled that way last time there was a deal, you won't get any offer to say though that way unless you ask for it

    Yes thank you. Only ordered today but checked what I had to do to cancel. I knew they were up to some devilment alright ;) I supposed I'd need to email them in advance looking for offer so I dont get fecked for 22e.

    New look graphics on Setanta for Premier League today, the first time they have completely changed their graphics since 2007. Comes with possibly the most riddiculous game clock I've ever seen.

    Yes the clock is crazy looking .
    Good to have Des Curran back commentating though

    i checked that too :pac: then see from their twitter account that you needed to ring up to get the number.

    just email looking for the number & to see if they've any offers as i think they cut you off there and then instead of the end of your month if you say you're cancelling in it

    Is it the official Premier League Clock thats used on the international broadcasts or is it a Setanta graphic?

    Looks ridiculous.

    Setanta use their own graphics for their featured game. You used to see the world feed graphics when they went around the grounds at half time but dunno if that still happens.

    how did they come with that :pac:

    hardly be a marketing gimmick would it?

    They may have read this blog:

    https://medium.com/@GuusterBeek/redesigning-the-world-cup-2014-brazil-5f3471869815

    Or it may just be coincidence. Its an awful idea executed badly, either way.

    i'm not sure if that blog is taking the mick or not but some of the graphic look good enough i think. mobile app/game jumps out at me from though from it

    it does look like it could've 'inspired' them alright.
    it'll get people talking about them though, whether that's the point or not it won't hurt

    Interesting to see that Everton vs United is a Sunday kick off ands it's on BT....
    Everton in Uefa cup could be the reason?

    Afaik Everton being in the UEFA Europa League is indeed the reason. At least one BT Sport Premier League game (iirc Manchester United v Tottenham) also aired on a Sunday last year.

    With the same riddiculous clock, only in red. Though I'm told that's pure conincidence and the host broadcasters use the same package as Setanta.

    I think every top flight league in Western Europe (if you take it as being the old EC-12), apart from Denmark and Luxembourg and, Ireland now has a UK broadcaster. I'm not how one can watch all that football now, although I'm quite enjoying the Benfica match on BT Sport at present.

    They should have it rotating every 10 seconds, surprising how little information they can fit into that box.

    You can get BT in addition to your Sky sub - through Setanta here in Ireland.

    I presume this is to do with the contract that they signed with the FAI to exclusively show all Irish internationals?

    It is only home friendlies that they have exclusive live rights to.

    They've been buying up most away friendlies though these go on a match by match basis. Competitive games remain on RTE and Sky.

    So I just emailed Setanta looking for discount post 1e deal. They responded within 2 minutes saying there are no deals. Are they bluffing or what?

    Did you email them back with a link to the offer on their website?
