Did I hear correctly that FSC gave up the right to televise the Saturday 7:30 AM English Premier League game live? Bummer if true. I love catching those games before schlepping the girls to club matches.
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

I heard that Setanta Sports got some games from FSC. I think it is only available on satelite. Probably another $15 per month!!

Someone translate.
The Timewarner guy is coming tomorrow.. to install our digital cable & sports package (FSC). Soooo..what are we talking about here?!
Direct TV is totally separate from TimeWarner.. correct?

Perhaps if you didn't have to make a deposit/activation fee for every single thing in this world..we would have gone with the Big Bertha 70" ..but alas. The 32" will do just fine.
Watched the EPL Review show on FSC at a friend's place today. It's safe to say I'm pumped for our tube to be hooked-up.
Countdown to 2PM has begun.

Setanta is only available on Direct TV as far as I know. FSC has not lost EPL altogether. Looking at soccertv.com it appears they are sharing the coverage. Setanta shows a lot more of the friendlies and the Championship.
Still good value at $14.99. United's game against Sevilla on Saturday is on plus their first 2 EPL games against Charlton and Fulham.

Just to follow up on the previous post, Direct TV also carries GolTV and they are also showing Arsenal and Liverpool EPL games courtesy of Liverpool TV and Arsenal TV. I'm just not sure if they are live or not. Having checked more deeply I do not see any PPV games now for EPL. On the first weekend of the EPL season between FSC and Setanta you can pick around 6/7 free games on Saturday and Sunday. Looks like if you want to get as many EPL games as possible then Direct TV is the best bet.
Setanta also has the League Cup this season. Not sure about the FA Cup and the European tournaments.

Bazza,
A big group is heading over to LEDudeman's pad to christen his new TV and cable hookup at 2 pm today. Can you bring a couple cases of Newcastle?

Cable man is doing the hook-up as I type!
This business about DirectTV and Setanta is a bit disconcerting though.

Is this the first time you have ever watched a TV? Quite an amazing gadget, huh?

Dunno if this is OFN yet or not, but you can get Setanta over broadband (no PC required) via ITVN.com. I don't know the details, quality or value so you are on your own. It appears that you do need a piece of hardware.
