Will you be getting / signing up with Setanta so you can see the Setanta Cup?
I will. All the additional matches ( e.g. SPL, Premiership, Continental ) will be a bonus too!
Yeah I'll get it for the 2 months the Setanta Cup is on but I'll probably get rid of it again after that unless they start showing live el on a regualr basis.

Same here, won't pay for sky, so not able to get Setanta. Would consider it if they made a committment to the eL - Full highlights, live/delayed coverage of several eL games a week......

Unfortunately you have to sign up for a 12-month contract ( I rang them earlier today to enquire ). Having that said, it's still a lot cheaper than getting sky sports.

u can also get it on the chorus digital month by month at 12.99 per month
Or we could all find a clever pub manager who's got it already and become Neo-Barstoolers :D
Im guessing somewhere like the TCT will have it

Is that with Chorus?
The next competition is supposed to be in November so a 12 month contract would cover that as well.
What other soccer do they show apart from SPL?
F1 on it from this season as well.

Saturday afternoon Premiership games and Serie A.

pay for sky imagine prem games ye could watch good footy for a change ! ;)
:rolleyes:
i won't be getting it anyway. When there's a channel which offers regular coverage of the league, I'll pay for that, until then, no way

The way I'd look at it though Eanna is that for two months they will have regular coverage of eircom league teams playing in the Setanta Cup so it would be worth it.
Also if they see a load of people signing up just before the Setanta Cup starts and then see the same people cancelling their subscription as soon as it finishes it might make them sit up and take notice. They might be more encouraged by the demand for Irish football and thus decide to show some el coverage.

I'll definitely be signing-up.
More live Irish Club football in one month than you get out of all the other channels in a year. It's the proverbial 'no-brainer'......

Afraid not, that's what I was hoping for too. Still, with the other matches / leagues I still think it'w worth it.
See www.setanta.com for the TV Guide.
Pity they won't show the fixture list for the Setanta Cup on their website!!!

I will be trying to get to a few of the games myself.
I pay too much to Sky as it stands, I think a pub will do me for games I cant attend.

I get it for free but if I didn't I'd sign up. They mentioned wanting to show around 10 league games at one stage too iirc, and the Setanta cup ofc. They also mentioned some kind of programme about the EL that didn't involve live matches, I'm guessing highlights, so it'll be worth signing up for if all of this happens. Throw in live EPL, Serie A and coverage of the other matches in Irelands WCQ group and it's a great channel to have.

Have just had a look at the site in Setanta's website for signing-up.
You have to put in your phone number - which might scupper it for exiles like myself with Irish Sky cards.
I'm gonna try just putting a '+44' at the front of my number and hope it still works through the automated system (I don't fancy ringing-up and trying to explain why I've got a London phone number in Galway :o). But as I won't be signing up until just before the competition starts, I won't know for another month or so if that works !
Will keep anyone who's interested posted.
It better feckin' work.....
We get Setanta as part of ntl package in Waterford too so no need to pay extra for it. :D

Get a cheap Irish pay as you go mobile? You don't have to be connected to a land line for the sky box, so you can justifably say you don't have one....

My aul fella is doing this kind of thing in reverse -to get some channel in England that you can't get here. To do this he uses my brother's contact details and actually gets my brother to ring up from london too and gets the card posted to him which he then posts to my aul fella. Could one of your family ring pretending to be you? I suspect you must have to do this to get your Irish Sky card?

Cheers Shelsman - good to hear someone else is working the Sky system :)
The actual act of ringing isn't an issue - I already have an Irish Sky card in England. Where I'll face a problem is if Setanta need to use your phone number in some way to set-up your subscription (i.e. send a signla down the line to your box). If you sign-up online it should all be done automatically, so even if they need to use my number hopefully the +44 bit will work and Setanta's automated system will be none-the-wiser. If the phone number is only to fill a box on the form I'll take-up Davos on his kind offer of using his X-Rated dirty chat line mobile number, or will just make any aul one up :)
'T-minus' 4 weeks to trying it all out....! Will let everyone know how it goes so us exiles can get Setanta access cracked.

Have sky thru the dish so yeah will sign up but as others have said would be unlikely to keep it if the Setanta cup was the only el on all season.
