Despite reading a few poor reviews, especially regarding their customer service, I actually really rate Setanta Sports. You can receive Setanta either through purchasing a viewing card compatible with digital freeview boxes or by purchasing it as an add-on to your exisitng Sky subscription, which is the format I have it on and to be honest, their customer service couldn't have been more helpful when I was setting it up on the day of an England international that I desperately wanted to see. Within two hours of putting the phone down to Mr Setanta, the channel was up and running and ready to watch! Setanta's main calling card is live football, ...  Read the complete review

Setanta Sports has basically become the equivalent of what premiership plus channel use to be a few years back, in that it tends to show low key secondary matches. All the big matches are still screened on the main skysports channel, and it is just saturday evening 5.15 kick offs and Monday Night football that setanta shows, so it begs the question why skysports do not just simply screen these additional matches on their own channel!

Craig Burley is an awful commentator. It is ...  Read the complete review
