SwissZ Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 How come you have to have bloody Setanta or whatever the hell its called to watch a soddin England game???? If it's not on the beeb which I get in Switz via cable then I'd usually nip to a pub in Zurich that has Sky.... but nooooo now you need Setanta! Switzerland, Germany, France etc etc all show the games on a free view channel, why can't England do that?? It's supposed to be the national team after all! Rant over... off to find somewhere in the internet that'll be streaming it tomorrow. Hope it's worth watching them this time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 This whole Sultana thing is doing my head in - as if £45 a month isn't enough for TV on top of a TV licence! Incidentally, major competition finals are protected by law, just a shame the qualifying rounds and friendlies aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Don't understand why you would want to watch the useless tosser's anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab350z Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yeah almost everything is moving to Sanatogen or Sky, its crud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I actually like it. Its better than when the PPV footy was on PremPlus. That cost £90 a year. On Setanta you get loads of the big fights like Calzaghe and loads of other sports that are worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only cost £35-£50 if you bought it before the season starts, which is a lot cheaper than the Setanta subscription..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My setanta was recently reduced to £7 a month after I phoned them to cancel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My setanta was recently reduced to £7 a month after I phoned them to cancel Mines only £7 too Don't forget you get two Setanta channels which show a lot of good stuff like the golf tournaments, tennis, UFC etc. I'm not saying its not slightly more than PremPlus but in my opinion you get a lot more value for money from Setanta. Plus there's no contract so you can cancel if you really wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 In isolation if it had come along, fine. But with Sky it makes it a PITA IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The trouble I have with Setanta is that the whole reason they ended up with the England and Premiership games is that the European Commission decided that Sky having all the games was too close to a monopoly, and they don't like those so ordered them to split the packages up. Now, instead of just paying for Sky and getting all the England games included, I have to pay more monies instead. Nice one EU busybodies, that worked out really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissZ Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 And the rant continues..... Would you believe the German free to everyone channel ZDF are even showing the England match tonight!!!!! Well, they're showing the second half because the bloody Germans are playing against Finland during the first half, but still!!! Anyway.. off to find me a stream of the first half somewhere on the good old internet and flicking over to ZDF for the second half... I hate the FA and Shitanta!

Ekona Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 http://streamwebtown.com/cora1 Drop that into your favourite media player and watch the game for gratis. There are better streams, but this one works and appears to be pretty stable right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
