Sky Sports vs Setanta Sports

Graeme7777

Hi,

Which of these channels provides better coverage of the English Football Premier League?

Thanks

Sky in both quality of presentation and number.

However, I have nothing against Setanta, unlike most people, but more for it's whole package and coverage of other sports.

Sky Sports has the better game packages. For example you'll only see the likes of the 'big four' playing each other on Sky Sports and also Sky Sports has a lot more games than Setanta with, in my opinion, better pundits.

Setanta have also lost all but one of the premier league match packages they bid for , so expected to be Saturday night only games .

personally i would get Sky for home viewing and then watch any Setanta matches you fancy down the Pub . in that respect i think Setanta are important because i think Sky really hammer pubs and clubs price wise for showing matches . most of the pubs around me only have Setanta now , which is why Setanta use the Sat evening spot , as thats when Pubs are likely to get the most amount of customers .

They have but that applies from Season 2010/11. Next season they have the same packages as this season so same amount of games.

I have Virgin Media VIP Package, and get Setanta Free and I have sky sports too.

Is there any way you can negotiate prices for the packages?

Not sure I follow, you are already getting it as part of the XL package. Any price negotition with Virgin would be for the whole package.
