They are a lot more unorganised and their shows are a lot less polished than Sky's but on the other hand I do prefer Bunce and Andy to Sky's team and, more importantly, they do show more or less every big fight.
Yep, the bottom line is that they are showing the fights and Sky arn't. I can live with the little niggles (but not major ones like when MAB-Pac cut off after the 10th round) Just watching the reply, as Rob said they've totally cut the 4th round out!!
I thought I was still drunk from last night, I was sure the 4th round was cut out too but I put it down to me being stupid. It appears I was correct. Yes, the bottom line is they are showing the big fights. But there are still making plenty amateurish mistakes that must be corrected if they are to become the premium sports channel that they aim to be.
I manual record shows on my sky plus usually from 2am to 7am. Its annoying when sky plus fails a recording which does happen sometimes.
I watched on freeview and I had to switch channel halfway through the fight to continue the coverage. Now that's bad enough, however, channel 38 (the channel i had to switch to) didn't actually work meaning I stayed up all night, watched the undercard, the first few rounds of the main event and then all I got was a bloody top-up screen telling me I had to subscribe/activate or something. It's a bloody pisstake. How am I supposed to check a channel that I only ever get access to a few times a year at 5 in the morning on a Sunday? In the end I had to settle for a crappy web live-stream. Why can't Setanta get the rights to broadcast till 6 in the morning? That time would solve the majority of freeview fight problems. I hardly ever see main events go past 6. Regards, One very pissed off Setanta customer.
sorry if this is off topic basically i used to have sky digital, with a few of the sports chanells, then i cancelled that way back in 2004 or something but i kept the sky box, now it just has the "free" channels like bbc3 etc, buts its still a sky digital box so can i order setanta using this or what? i dont want to order setanta and then find it i cant get it installed, cos i dont actually have a tv arieal in the room, just what comes down the satalite so i cant get a freeview box
Thats the same set up I have (old Sky box from a lapsed subscription and a dish but no ariel), I get all the Setanta channels and the boxing all night without changing channels.
andy made the joke.i actually think he is a quality presenter and the two of you go together well. that only really annoyed me at the time. yeh the 4th round was cut from the repeat.
This is really poor. One solution (which luckily I had set up) is to series link when the next boxing is on (green button I think on the planner) then you'll get everything including all future shows, even when they break it up like this. Not sure exactly how it works (given that the title of the shows are always different) but it does. This was how Haye-Mormeck was recorded even though I was on hols and didn't know setanta had it :good
you will not be able to view setanta as you need to be an existing sky customer to get setanta through a sky box.
