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:

I'm in England and on my Sky Digital it has all about SPL on Saturday and Sunday morning...yawn. At leat they're showing the All-Ireland final i guess.
I've also got the all new Celtic and Rangers channels :rolleyes:
What is this company's obsession with Scotland?
If they start showing EL than I don't care what else they show to be honest.Quote:

They own the SPL rights. Might as well show a lot of it - that's what rights are for, isn't it?! (*COUGH* TV3!! :rolleyes: )Quote:

Setanta have announced that they'll be showing the
Swiss -v- Faroes match at 17.15 on saturday, immediately followed by
France -v- Israel at 19.45 on saturday.
Hope they keep it up :cool:
Can't agree with that. TV3 have the rights to the league as part of the package which allows them rights to Internatinal games. It's not to much to ask of them to send a camera to five games a week. How expensive can it be for them ? Obviously Derry and Cork are further away and might be a bit more of a problem for them, nut they can find a way when they want to. It's all about having the interest and the will to do it, and they clearly don't. (How much did they pay to cover Man U and Liverpool Champions League qualifiers ?)Quote:

It's only the Irish service that is showing any of this (the other Internationals, and more importantly, any eircom League stuff) :mad:
Us lot in the UK are stuck with $eltic and the Other Club - whilst the SPL is rammed down our throats.
So could anyone help me out with getting hold of a Sky Digital card that will allow me to watch RTÉ and the Setanta channel.
I will of course make any payment that will be incurred.
Email me (bohemians@tiscali.co.uk) or post in this thread!
No this is 10.40 am :)
Are they not going to show any matches live?
And repeated at 2.35pm on Sunday.Quote:

They were in talks to show around ten live league games next year aswell as the ten Setanta cup matches they'll be showing. Not sure what happend that but I'm fairly sure they'll be showing live league matches next year.Quote:

New way of linking the eL and Serie A, but encouraging!
interesting. I wonder..would setantas coverage be availabe in the uk then (apologies if this has already been answered)
Sounds excellent. Setanta seem to be the TV Station we've been crying out for for years.Quote:
