Setanta Sports Australia[edit]

I'm an employee of Setanta Sports Australia and I recently noticed that entire Australia section of Setanta Sports had been deleted. Therefore I have created a new section on this page and a separate new page. Whilst I understand that anyone is free to this edit page, all information about sports rights & broadcasting is 100% correct at time of writing.

"Shite to work for"[edit]

Does this line belong in the article? HasanDiwan (talk) 21:14, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

merge tag[edit]

agree with merge. Chris 01:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UK section cleaned-up[edit]

The UK section of this article was in a right mess, with information being added in all over the place (see here). I've cleaned it up, adding in headings and citations. Marks87 13:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dish Network[edit]

Just found it...i'm not sure what package you have to had, but it's there

It's on free preview at the moment, until September 9th, after that it's $14.99 a month, like on DirecTV

United Kingdom - Top Up TV[edit]

The UK DTT channel is NOT a part of Top Up TV. The channel is stand-alone and the only connection between the two companies is that the former provides the encryption. Nothing more. Marks87 02:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bell ExpressVu[edit]

Added Bell Expressvu to provider list in both info box and North American section. CanuckGod 16:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seperation[edit]

I think it's time to seperate this page into regions, many of the Setanta Sports channels in various countries are becoming pretty significant in their own right, and they are not all the same - each country should have a seperate page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.168.108.56 ([[User talk:125.168.108.56|

Totally agree with you, I have also notice some wrong information with the Australian Section, this could be caused by people being confused about which station they are talking about for example someone put in that the Setanta has secured the rights to the IPL under Australian Section > subsection of Cricket which is totally false. As Network 10 has the IPL rights in Australia the IPL rights is only for the UK version of Setanta they have also listed Setanta club channels Chelsea TV, MUTV, Celtic TV, Rangers TV, Barca TV, LFC TV, Arsenal TV. As in fact they do not show any programming from LFC TV and Arsenal television and on there website it states that they tried to get extra rights to these channels but they are only aloud to have a maximum of 2 club stations channels per country and there current contracts with Chelsea and MUTV as stopped them from showing Liverpool or Arsenals Television stations. djpower (talk) 04:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have just fix these problems djpower (talk) 04:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Advertisement[edit]

Was this glowing advert for a greedy conglomerate written by Setanta staffers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.164.113.243 (talk) 09:40, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be. The ip address 125.255.45.81 is doing all the editing on this article. Its changing "transmitts" to "premium distributor" and things like that. --Gaainfo (talk) 09:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone tired a WikiScanneron it? --Nate1481(^t/_c) 09:22, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pundits and Managers[edit]

I think you'll find that all pundits do this, it is just that some people don't like paying extra for Setanta and so make more of it. Unless this becomes something more major, it really doesn't need to be mentioned in the article. Zacitty (talk) 17:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More on financial difficulties[edit]

All from the BBC. Nanonic (talk) 12:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And [Setanta halts new subscriptions] Nanonic (talk) 15:21, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Past tense[edit]

I think it maybe time to change some of the article to the past tense, as the no longer provide channels etc. --neon white talk 19:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
