Setanta better than Sky

Setanta are poor in their coverage than Sky but for �10 per month they are good value compared to sky who are the robbers. You must be mad to stop subscribing to them at the moment. They are showing some great fights as this thread has illustrated including Woods v Tarver and now Galzahghe v Hopkins so until April I will be staying with them at least. They may even show Cotto fight which has Margareto v Cintron.

I've been thinking about getting Sentanta just for their fight coverage. I live in Canada and boxing is not often on tv here.

Setanta have loads of channels here like Golf, Nascar, Horse riding you name it but their main channels here are Setanta 1 and 2 which show the boxing. I do not believe that they broadcast in Canada. But I could be wrong.

Setanta have Maccarinelli-Haye and Mitchell-Johnasson too, lucky for me I've got both Sky and Setanta

Have cancelled my Setanta Freeview. But after testing their Setanta Broadband I have subscribed to that. It's �7.99 and the stream is great (I have a 2mb connection). All Setanta channels are available through it and they have all their previous fights to watch instantly.
It streams Great.

I had to get it as I want to watch the Pavlik vs Taylor fight Live without using the unreliable sopcast.

Isn't Setanta up for sale? Sure I heard it on the radio in the last couple of days. Makes you wonder whether they haven't invested very heavily to quickly build up a share of the market and now need to cash in to balance the books. Caveat emptor.

I hope you are wrong, whilst the commentary leaves a lot to be desired, they are really providing great value for money. I get mines with virgin cable for 3 for �30. Sky sports would cost me an additional �18 and the Paul Williams fight and Klitscko fight is not enough for me to subscribe back to them yet. Leftylee must be rich.
