I'm guessing soon, as they seem to have their player working now on www.setantago.com

At least able to get BT Sport 1, 2 and Europe to work, Setanta 1 + Ireland are throwing up errors about acquiring the licence, so not sure if it's just because F1 and NHL are currently on both channels. BT Sport ESPN throwing up an error code too.

Not sure if the watermark is big enough....hard to spot if I'm honest

SetantaGo only 30 secs behind satellite feed too - Impressive.

Won't work on iPad, need Silverlight to view on the website and no app yet. Hopefully an app is on the way.

Doesn't work on Chrome yet either.

Setanta bizarrely showed Aston villa vs Swansea today instead of mourinhos meltdown at West ham.
These rubbish 3pm kick offs are becoming very annoying.

Since their tie-in with BT Sport I think they're now restricted on the amount of times they can show each team

It's always been that way they are only allowed to show a certain amount of tier 1 matches a year. Nowt to do with BT. In fact BT couldn't give a ****e what Setanta show they are worrying about different things at the moment.

That's normal with Setanta. It's a grand HD picture for the game itself.

Another 3pm game on setanta which will draw little viewership.

Think I'll of load BT,
NFL and prem games involving the usual top 5/6 teams is all that interests me

Today a few yrs back they would have the utd game.

Id even prefer the leicester game right now

It's a good game and both teams actually have a few fans over here, whereas I've never met one Leicester fan here ever. Could they have done better if they had their pick of the games? Yes. Do they have their pick of the games though? No, their options are limited. I'm happy with it, we're lucky to get any televised 3pm kick-offs, given the fact they don't get any in the UK.

If man utd stay in the Champions League after Xmas it will mean more games on a Saturday afternoon and more opportunity for Setanta to show them more, within the restrictions obviously

I have a suggestion for Setanta for next season.

They should bid for the 3pm SPL rights for next season and they would get the Celtic/Rangers audience for it.

celtic audience maybe

I e-mailed them to show the 230pm bundesliga live games on saturdays as BT Sport has the rights for UK/Ireland but setanta could sublicence them as a soft promotional too for the setanta pack

Depending on what goes on elsewhere, Setanta could be down to one Setanta branded channel by the time the next season starts, if Setanta and Premier Sports go their separate ways.
