    Ring Setanta or go online and order it. They will ask for your viewing card number.

    Yep, BT Sport, Setanta and ESPN are all part of the Setanta pack, which you must order through Setanta and not Sky.

    Have you read the posts above?

    Im assuming you're in Ireland therefore you wont get BT Sport as a standalone channel. You would have to subscribe to the Setanta sports pack to get the BT channels.

    The first question is why. There is literally nothing on BT Sport worth watching during the summer. They survive on baseball, Australian football, women's tennis and whatever meaningless football friendlies they can pick up.

    If you really do want it, then it's €21.99 pm from Setanta, no connection fee.

    Just call or email customer care with 30 days notice
    Just to add that the 30 notice notice kicks in after your next billing date so there is always a possibility that you could end up paying for almost 2 months sub in advance. So be careful of the date you phone or email them to cancel. The ideal time/day/date to contact them is one day before your billing date.

    Exactly, I just cancelled mine for the summer.

    Last year it had the mls which I watched a lot but they lost that to sky, now its as above with the exception of the odd ufc fight. Nowhere near worth €21.99.

    You'd be mad to pay the 21.99. I left there earlier in the month, was offered 5 months for 9.99 pm. Not worth it for me but might suit some insomniac baseball fan during the summer.
    Might have considered it but really got the hard sell from yer man who rang me (during the notice period after I cancelled). Basically calling me a fool for not taking the offer (not in so many words, but 'foolish' was said more than once), and kept telling me how expensive it would be to rejoin next season and I'd not have to pay extra as a 'loyal customer'. Pretty much had to tell him to **** off to get him off the phone.

    You can get BT/setanta without a sky subscription if that suits you, just need an active card and box

    Nope! Email does the business.
