This page is kind of difficult to find. On the front page, in tiny writing. http://www.setanta.com/en/UK/News/Important-viewing-information-for-Satellite-customers-on-Saturday-/ Says it will be on the Sentanta Ireland channel.
Another number to maybe try is 01915 013 601. I rung this to cancel a month ago and got straight through. Might not be the right one for techie probs but at least you can vent your spleen!!
just checked. definatley on the setanta ireland channel which for anybody having problems with setanta will work as it is broadcast on astra.
If only I read this last night, I ended up going to bed early in one the worst moods ever and it was on (Setanta Ireland) the whole time Thanks for your help anyway Sean, im probably thinking of upgrading to Sky+ soon but if I dont I will keep on eye out for a second hand box like the ones u recomended. Cheers mate :good
