Part of the NTL package here in Galway as well so all the pubs have it too

Our law enforcing friend recommended a different establishment.

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'......

No, see drummerboy's quote above....
Parts of Dublin have it as well

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!!!

**dortie** · 03/02/2005, 6:01 PM

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.

**Slash/ED** · 03/02/2005, 6:02 PM

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.

**dcfcsteve** · 04/02/2005, 12:46 AM

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

). 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.....

**trevy** · 04/02/2005, 8:13 AM

We get Setanta as part of ntl package in Waterford too so no need to pay extra for it.

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.
