Setanta By Broadband

Up until now I had decided there was no way I was going to sign up for Setanta, even to watch the Calzaghe fight. Also, I have noticed people on here have had problems with cancelling and such. I just noticed they have an online service though:-

This would make sense as it would probably be easier to cancel and if it's not on my normal TV I wouldn't be tempted to subscribe longer than a month. It's £7.99. Does anyone else use this service?

Anyone? It has a demo on there, but it's a pretty small screen and the footage isn't live so I have no idea how good the quality will be in terms of a live broadcast

Doesn't it only cost £9.99 to subscribe on freeview/sky/whatever? Paying the £2 so you can enjoy it on your sofa and record it and what not seems a much better option to me!

Fair point, but doing it this way means I don't have to chase them on the phone when I want to cancel, I just send them an E-Mail and it's done.

These guys don't read emails, they just delete them and keep taking your cash, stay well away from them !

There is a button on the bottom right of the player that will show it full screen... Looks cr*p even with recorded streams so not holding out much hope for live.
