Ronaldo Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Irrespective of how s*** Santana coverage is, or was, no-one who appreciates value for money should really be happy about this. Sultana was a competitior of Sky and, even if ever so slightly, made Sky look over their shoulder from time to time and consider their prices. How do you work that out like? I pay more for Setanta than I ever did for Prem Plus and Sky have increased their prices on a regular basis. Setanta is a channel and Prem Plus wasn't, essentially So what? Fact is I pay more to see what I want than I used to before the ruling. How that is helping the consumer I've no idea. I'm just saying, the fact that Setanta is more than Prem Plus is perfectly justifiable given that Setanta showed more games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setanta only ever had 46 games didn't they? For more than double the cost. PS - I'm not on about all the other stuff they show. I'm on about the Premier League.

Pilko Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hope it goes to a freeview channel. How on earth would they afford it though, if their only income is through advertising? It surely will go to a new subscription-only channel or someone huge enough to buy it just to increase their profile, like ESPN. Apparently someone said Living TV are the favourites, I think they are on freeview? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 RIP having to see Pat Dolans moonface spouting bullshit. Pat Dolan worked on the Setanta Ireland show which is the coverage that North Americans got. Setanta Ireland may trade seperately from the UK arm of the company. This article is a bit old but it sounds like nothing much will change for us in Canada at least, which is a good thing, give me a pompous t*** talking at half time like Dolan over no coverage at all. http://fulltimefootballshow.blogspot.com/2009/06/setanta-canada-what-happens-here-in.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I went to cancel my payment to them then I realised the feckers take a continous card payment, by right I will owe them the £12.99 but I am of the thinking they have bigger things to worry about than my £12.99. My bank told me at this stage I either can cancel my debit card which is a bit drastic or wait for them to take payment and then dispute the transaction. They are not dull when it comes to some things, it does protect them a bit from cancelled payments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Will they still be cunts to people trying to cancel now that they have lost Prem rights? They have fuck all to offer now, people will be cancelling in their numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
