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.

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