Cancelled a few months ago £12.99 wasn't worth it for the odd game of football that even clashes with SL, cricket that I can't watch due to work and 1 NRL match each week. They offered £9.99 a month and thought they were doing me a favour.

Same as ITV Digital Setanta has overstretched themselves, they won't last. Saturday football games, FA Cup and Internationals to BBC, itv, C4 or even five please, NRL back to Sky (but without Chris Warren)

£3.33 and free Virgin subscribers won't save them.

I'm currently paying £12.99 with Setanta, but it's strange as I don't really watch the flagship channels. The only time I do is for the football and for the NRL when I get chance to tape it (if my Sky Plus doesn't play up).

I mainly watch ESPN America, LFC TV and also Rangers TV (as the maud is a Gers fan!) plus I've started to get more into Setanta Golf as they've got rights to a lot more tournaments now that they have taken from Sky Sports.

I agree about the football rights though. They've already lost one package for next season, and I can see them losing the England games and the FA Cup matches soon if they don't buck up their ideas.

Dont need to, i already have setanta, its included in my pacage for my virgin media V+ box

its a rip of ov Sky+, it does all of that recording crap and its cheap.

simpels

Don't fire up the Sky+ versus V+ row again. Both have their pros and cons, however V+ is definitely superior in some ways - it's 3 tuners to Sky's 2 for a start. It certainly isn't a "rip of (sic)"

the problem is cancelling the thing once you sign up, i got rid of it as i didnt watch most of it but it took a few months for people to reply to emails and letters, they can't take cancellations over the phone. Customer Service is shocking, even Watchdog slagged em off
