I believe Setanta are going to start showing extended highlights of some matches on a saturday morning starting with the upcoming Pats V Rovers match. Last I've heard they're also in talks about showing around 10 live EL games a season, on top of the 10 or so Setanta cup matches they'll be showing. Sounds like great news, we've been crying out for a crowd like Setanta for years. If their presentation is on the same level as the football they've showed so far then it should look excellent.
This is great news. The more competition there is the better. TV3 and RTE will have to get there act together.
I dunno are they able to, to be honest !! :rolleyes:Quote:

I din''t think either RTE or TV3 would give a toss if they lost the Eircom league rights to be honest. However the International matches, now that's a different matter. This is the opportunity for the FAI to exercise a bit of muscle. TV3 did't even send a camera to Richmond Park on Friday for Pats v Waterford. Absolutely outrageous. :(
Setanta Schedule
Saturday
4 September Soccer St Pats Ath v Shamrock Rovers - Eircom League Soccer ... 10:40
Will this be the full match or highlights ?Quote:

I'm presume the reason Setanta are showing deferred coverage is more to do with them only having a weekend schedule to start with than any desire not to show live.
Will be interesting to see the quality of the coverage/presentation/commentary as eL neutrals unlikely to sit through 90mins of other teams games.
Its on Setanta Ireland so free on NTL.Quote:

€10 per month with Sky
I live in Dublin (NTL country, I presume?) but I don't seem to have this channel. How do I get it?
You should have it, it should have just taken over from nicaloden (i think) with that moving to another channelQuote:

Its free if you have NTL digital not just the basic package
248MHz was the old Nickleodeon signal now used by Setanta.Quote:
