Not sure what Setanta are trying to acheive by offering free coverage of a match that's already being broadcast free of charge on ITV? If they want to attract new viewers they'd be better off allowing free views of games not available elsewhere.The fridge is empty, the walls are damp, there's no hot water
And I look like a tramp and tramps like us

It's not being shown live on terrrestial ITV in Scotland!
As long as you've got a sky receiver, you can watch it for free on channel 993.
I'd watch it on ITV as the coverage will be far superior to Setanta as their football coverage is dreadfull!!!0 -
If ITV's coverage is better than Setanta's, it really doens't say much for Setanta. ITV's coverage of sport in general is terrible.0

The picture on Setanta is even worse....than ITV............mind you you can watch it from 9am............with dinasores Saint and greavsie spouting the usual rubbish................0

is this on freeview as well?0
-
It only mentions satellite and cable on the website
Worth mentioning as well that setanta are doing 3 months for £3.33 each and no connection fee to satellite viewers as well. Of course as the football season is more or less over and setanta only get two matches anyway one could argue that its not worth even that but hey0 -
There was a rumour that Setanta won't be able to pay for the TV rights they've been awarded so you might get even less footie on there next year. Anyone know for sure about this?The fridge is empty, the walls are damp, there's no hot water

EDIT: It looks like Setanta are heading into administration this week after defaulting on a £3m payment to the Scottish Premier League.
