Setanta 2??

man the really annoying thing about this now is that setanta are simply iignoring us. i couldnt believe that no one even said something on bunce hour yesterday. even a nod that we exist and are unfortunate etc but they chose not to. this is almost surreal.

um the reason is a contractural one----what about the contract that setanta are in with the freeview viewer????????

the reason is technical about the cut off------well then how was setanta able to tell us to switch at a certain time on a number of occasions before?????

whats going on here!!!!!

 

Bottom line is Setanta freeview subscribers are being ripped off.

 

If you have a PS3 and take the broadband service at £7.99 can you watch it through your TV then?

 

I have just noticed that Diaz v Marquez is being shown at 1100, 1800 and 2200 on Sunday on Setanta Sports 1.

A bit of a result for the freeview posse. Better than nothing.

I take back all those horrible things I said.

 

still better than the crappy fights that sky gets...The olympians!! also Amir khan on Box office, are you joking!

 

I made a comment a while ago about the quality of fights Sky had and someone, I can't remeber who, made a really good point about Sky. He/She said that it was good that Sky was concentrating more on the domestic scene. It gives us an insight into who is coming through and early fights of people clearly on the road to bigger things. Whilst they're not the huge fights that Setanta has, it's still good that we have the resources to check out the domestic scene. Khan on PPV is still a f**kin' joke though.

 

Well nowt boxing wise for "freeview" Setanta monthly paying subscribers tomorrow.

 

:huh

So since my PC is hooked up to my LCD TV this means I get youtube etc through my TV?!

Not the same at all.

 

Look at this clowns response to my cancellation request, all this did was **** my off even more.

Subject: Cancel subscription


To whom it may concern:

I would like to cancel my subscription, my account number is ******.

Yet again, I will not be able to see the boxing tomorrow night as it is on Setanta Sports 2 and I am a freeview customer. I pay the same price for an inferior product, thus, I would like to cancel.

Can you confirm when my last payment will be taken from by account, and when the Setanta subscription will be terminated.

Thanks,

 

I don't mean this to sound as harsh as its probably going to come out but I think Freeview subscribers to Setanta should either accept the service or cancel it. I know its a PITA but thats just how it is.

 

I don't find this way of watching boxing too bad at all. Its how I watch most the American fights that Setanta doesn't show, the quality is reasonable enough, a lot better than YouTube IMHO.

 

Accept it or lump it, that's just how it is.

Wow, great logic. You should run for PM.

 

So whats your PM worthy logic? ***** about it on an internet forum for months on end? This issue has been going on for well over a year now and nothing has changed.

The Freeview service is what it is. Thats the offer on the table, either take or leave it. Your choice.

 

I've wrote to Setanta many times.

Nothing seems to be changing, so I have now cancelled, if enough people cancel because of this, things WILL change.

You'd sit on your ass and do nothing about anything ever, and nothing would ever change/get done.

 

So what have you managed to change/ get done? Nothing!!! I suppose at least you had the sense to cancel your subs instead of just moaning about it.

Personally I'd have looked at my options, made the best of a bad hand, and hooked my TV up to my laptop/ PS3 instead. Sometimes you just have to take the best option open to you even if its not exactly what you want.
