Just subscribed to Setanta - but not happy !

Took the fifteen quid deal for first three months - cheers Smash ;)

but after that its 15 a month regardless ! Told them I was only interested in premiership football and none of their other channels (you get 9 in total). I don't want NASN, US PGA tour, Rangers TV , Celtic TV, racing channel etc...!

But thats the deal. They are basically going to be showing the 46 games on Saturday lunchtimes and tea times that SKy used to do on Premiership plus for 50 quid a season - to do it through them is 180 quid. Even the woman on the phone agreed that they should be doing a premiership football only deal !

What was more worrying is that you aren't going to be able to pay for individual events so if they get a big fight in the future you won't be able to just pay for that and will have to be a subscriber - which will no doubt be a 12 month minimum deal once this initial 3 month deal finishes. Have a couple of friends who just used to pay sky the 7 quid a game deal when Man U or Liverpool were on too - you won't be able to do that any more.


Am not happy about this >:mad These companies are taking piss and they know it

Ricky should get himself back on sky box office !!

Ouch! That sounds grim.

Hopefully Setana will bomb over here (UK) and boxers will lose credibility by 'hiding' on a channel no-one watches.

However, like a lemming I will be so desperate to see Ricky I'll probably sell my soul for a 3am fightnight! :)

Just use sopcast to watch it live and then download it the next day. Why waste your earned cash on watching an old man and a fat man bump and grind with each other for 40 minutes?

I subscribed last week for the Judah Cotto fight. Got up at 9 and started watching it on sky+ only for the box to break at round four subsquently missing the rest of the fight >:mad now i have 3 months sentanta and no box to watchit on,

yes i know that but its a special deal for introductory offer - don't get me wrong this is a good deal for the 3 months but its after that that it will be shite

what i'm saying is that in future you won't be able to pay the one off as you will have to be a subscriber (over 12 months possibly) to watch the big fights if they get any more

and its the football I am pissed off about :(

Ok then Mark...if you could pay so much and take it for a month what would you pay?

all i want is the football which was fifty quid a year on sky

throw in the boxing and i would pay 6 quid a month - no more !

its bollocks
we always get screwed
luckily I am @ a wedding so will miss hatton fight anyway so not gonna hurt to bad

Hatton should of stayed with warren would be huge (no pun intended) on ITV
