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.

I dunno are they able to, to be honest !!Originally Posted by harry crumb
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Fair enough - rte are crap but tv3 might get better with the competition. Anyway - any tv exposure has to be good for the league
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 ?
Is that the Setanta channel that is on Sky Digital and will it be free of charge?
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.
So what? TV3 probably have little enough cash as it is. They never have cameras at the Brandy. The club tapes the matches and gives them on to whoever wants them. If we want extra TV coverage, a little proactivity on the part of the clubs is needed.TV3 did't even send a camera to Richmond Park on Friday for Pats v Waterford. Absolutely outrageous.
It'll be free on Chorus, but only if you have their digital package, not sure they're even planning to put it on the analogue
€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?
Ireland: Discovered!
You should have it, it should have just taken over from nicaloden (i think) with that moving to another channel
It may be NTL country, but is your cable/diugital service through NTL?

I think there is some small Chorus area in Dublin but if you are NTL & as said elsewhere if you had Nickoldeon (becomes a music channel in the evening) tuned in then Setanta shpould already have replaced it & moved Nick/Music elsewhere...i think...
Yes, I'm with NTL, but I don't think that I have Nickolodeon - then again I've probarbly never bothered looking for it!
Ireland: Discovered!
Its free if you have NTL digital not just the basic package
248MHz was the old Nickleodeon signal now used by Setanta.

from an e mail i recieved from them a while back they intend to show games on sat and sun nights and hope to go live eventually.....but the game at the weekend is a step in the right direction
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
