Anyone know if I get Setanta in the UK (Wales) will I be able to see these matches?

[Philo]

Is there actually going to be a league to televise this year? I thought a certain bloke from Drumcondra and his mate from Merrion Sq were conspiring to bring the who show tumbling down...

I don't believe they show but no first hand knowledge. I think they have shown as live later that week in the past...

Take out a subscription to an Irish address and get them to send you a viewing card. You can then watch Setanta Ireland wherever you are.
BTW - good promotion on at the moment , €10 per month.

You'll need a subscription to Sky in Ireland first, then sign up to Setanta.

Takes a good few weeks to sort with all the to-ing and fro-ing though - so you'd want to get the proverbial wriggle-on if you fancy doing this.

I got all the Setanta Cup matches on my tv here in wales live last season, without an irish viewing card.

Lucky man - given it's only broadcast on Setanta NI and ROI !

[Soper]

It was on Setanta Ireland, and for some reason wasn't blocked.I remember flicking through the channels the night of the Linfield - Derry match in Windsor, and being amazed that it was on.

I can only get NTL here, have the option of subscribing to Setanta package. They dont show the games on that do they?

Actually you dont Steve , I have Setanta on a "Stand Alone" basis , when I subscribed I told them that I was not a Sky customer but had a digibox and they sent me a card with just Setanta on it. It works in any digibox , I tried it out.

Sadly only on Sky, NTL only give you Celtic and Rangers TV, Setanta Golf, some American sports network and Setanta Sports 1

Anyone know how to get this in the States? I tried looking for webcasts, but Setanta seems to block IP addresses from outside Ireland for the broadband casts.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Would love to know if there's a solution to this.

[Terry]

has anybody contacted setanta and asked them what are yer options?

[Dodge]

If you know someone with Setanta and can hook it up to their PC, it can be broadcast through sopcast or TVU through the internet. AFAIK they provide the programme/upload route so you only leave it running.

Worth investigating IMO

[Risteard]

I presume City v Pats will now be aired after Shelsgate.

WaR, any news on RTE's (you can put in the fada yourself) plans for the coming year? Increased coverage? i seem to remember Setanta saying they'd be showing more games but haven't heard any news about this years coverage

Presume RTE/Setanta/TG4 all showing live games with TV3 doing the half hour Monday thing?
