All channels were due to stop broadcasting at 5pm tonight.

All are still on air at the moment.

Yep they have stopped broadcasting...typical 4 days after they took payment from my account.

I'm confused. The GB channels have switched of 6pm. But Setanta Ireland channel is still running.

If GB setanta is no longer trading...I do not want to be paying for Setanta Ireland. Considering Northern Ireland is in the UK.

We have cancelled DD, because as far as I'm concerned they are finished.
But what if they chase us via Setanta Ireland?

The administrators say they have ceased taking money.

Setanta Ireland & Setanta International are still trading it's just the GB arm (England, Scotland, Wales, IOM & CI) that have ceased from trading;)
