    does anyone else have setanta on there freeview box? because if it is on setanta 2 then you cant watch it, this isnt the first time they have done this and end up repeating some aussie rugby league or some other crap on the main channel

    I already had Setanta when we got BT Vision so I have it under the Sky package.

    Setanta freeview shuts down at 3am, the main event doesn't start until after that. If it was on Setanta One, then people would start watching the card and then get pissed off when the channel shut down.

    i did wonder as i have written to setanta in the past when they have done this not just with boxing but with UFC too, and never got a response, although i thoughtit was 5am at weekends but that still wouldnt be long enough anyways

    I don't have Freeview, but '7 days a week from midday to 3am' is what it says on Setanta's website.

    The only way they can broadcast longer than that is to buy airtime from another channel (eg. I believe they used top up TV for this for a fight previously, moving the broadcast to another freeview channel), I believe this is cumbersome and expensive for them to arrange, however.
