    I don't know if ESPN is paired with a box.

    ITV are showing the full match - coverage starts at 1pm. Setanta are also showing it.

    ESPN have a variety of programmes starting at 8am building up to the game, which is commercial free from 12.30pm, I think!

    (I wonder if we in Ireland will be able to view the ESPN coverage? If Setanta are showing it, would they not have the Irish rights? It happened with some games ESPN showed this season already.)

    True - just pulling wires in and out at two ends is messy - pulling a card in and out is easier!

    ESPN start at 8am no ads during the pre game or half time coverage or after the final whistle, ITV 1pm start - as a Man City fan I want to soak up the whole thing it's been 30 years since the last time we played in the final so every minute counts come Saturday!

    to one of the other threads points will it be blocked on ESPN ROI? on the epg it doesn't say it is like the Europa League games where - normally Setanta have the ITV games so there was never a clash.

    If ESPN have shown FA Cup games all season it wont be blocked.
