Setanta get JMM-Diaz!!! Celebration!!!!

There's actually a pre-recorded French football match on.

Heaven forbid they should move that for live boxing.

 

Hi James.

Do you have anything to say to the thousands of freeview subscribers who are missing out on this one?

As far as I'm aware there's not even a repeat of this fight anywhere on Setanta Sports 1 schedule.

 

There was a lot of boxing coverage pencilled in for this weekend, but I would have swapped it all for this one fight.

Plus we'll get John v Juarez as well.

Well done Setanta and Bunce.

 

Sacre Bleuatsch

 

yea can James from Setanta or Steve Bunce tell us whats going on with freeview? why isnt the channel switch being used again? Pre recorded french football? give me a break.......and if this is a standard practice from setanta WHY ARE YOU TELLING FREEVIEW SUBSCRIBERS THAT THEY CAN SEE ALL THE BEST BOXING WHEN ITS NOT TRUE?

 

Fantastic news. Lucky I have a friend with Sky Digital though, as a Freeview sucscriber I would have missed out....again!

 

You, Buncey, Kerminator. You are the governors. Setanta does listen to the fans and it is the home of boxing.

 

Great News, Thank you Setanta Sat night/ Sun morning booked in. YES

 

It seems a bull**** deal for these freeview subscribers.
It must be very frustrating, before I moved last year I couldn't get a proper reception on Setanta at all but still had to pay the next months fee's before I could cancel it was a real rip off; but the boxing woo'ed me back.
Then it took me two weeks to reconnect again! then suddenly after talking to all the different managers of the call centre or days they pushed a button and it was on...

 

Ah, I see. :think

 

Ditto!

:good :bbb :yep :thumbsup :deal :happy :smooch :rasta

 

Where has "James from Setanta" gone? He pops up, bigs it up, gets asked a tricky question or two and pisses off! Charming.

By the way the show on Thursday will be a monster. Trust me.

Adios

 

You have to bring up this Audley situation Bunce it's pure gold, he's acting like a spurned love who wants his revenge.

 

apparently reason not on Setanta One ... and so not on Freeview ... is because Setanta One can only go on Freeview until 0500 ... so if the fight went past this then it would just cut off.
So it's either be pissed off watching ten rounds and then missing out on last two .... or pissed off by them not putting it on at all.
Setanta seem to think more people will be pissed off by the first option!!!!

 

That's a very, very lame excuse.

I can remember watching Calzaghe v Hopkins on freeview and they swithed the channel over at 3.00am I think to a freeview top up channel and showed the complete card. If they can do it once then they can do it for all the US staged events.

The bottom line here is that freeview subscribers pay the same as everybody else yet they get a substandard service. This is not fully explained and no discount is awarded.
