setanta have delivered the goods again ..

I think its fair enough that Setanta wouldn't want their prize fights to be screened free without subscription.

How could they possibly make any money if they paid to secure the rights to these fights then just let everybody watch them on freeview?

Broadband is a great deal imo, £.7.99 a month cancel at any time, no minumum contract etc.

they still have to pay as its only like an add on to freeview not part of the actual free package, i think its only virgin media that give setanta for free

its basically all because they dont put setanta 2 on freeview so i cant see how they justify charging the same price as they charge me for example to get ss1,2 the news channel and the golf one

I'm not sure I really understand as I don't have freeview. I have a digital box in the lounge but it hasn't even been turned on in over a year.

So some people have signed up a contract with someone other than Setanta and Setanta is included as part of the package, is that what you mean? So they arn't subscribing to Setanta directly but kind of through a third party?

What I mean is, if you were a subscriber to Setanta directly you could watch this on tv and not have to get broadband as well?
