Setanta better than Sky

[CFH]

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.

I've got both(I wish I was rich!) and have been annoyed with Sky and it's boxing coverage. Setanta is streets ahead in terms of it's matches shown.

I'm very close to cancelling Sky.

Welcome to the boards.

If Sky did show more world class fights then I would join back, but it has to be a lot more. £35 a month for mainly football is not worth it.
