Subscribing to Setanta Sports
Last weekend I decided to watch the Ricky Hatton ‘v’ Jose Luis Castillo fight in Las Vagas live from my front room. At first I was going to book it via Sky Box Office at a price of £19.99 but realised Setanta Sports were showing the fight live aswell. I thought this might be as good a time as any to see first hand what Setanta Sports have to offer.
Ordering the Setanta subscription was easy and it was all completed in about 2 minutes via my Tv remote control including setting up a monthly Direct Debit.
Since watching the boxing in the early hours of last sunday morning I have watched Setanta more than I thought I ever would.
Here is a small list of sports I’ve seen on Setanta over the last week:
- Gaelic Football
- Australian Football
- Australian National Rugby
- European Friendly Football
- Motor Racing
- PGA Golf
- NASCAR
- Baseball
This is only what I’ve noticed on Setanta and they show many other sports including horse racing, athletics, cricket and starting from August they’ll have 46 live Premiership football matches.
Overall I think they’ve got a great lineup for the price.
The monthly cost of Setanta Sports is £9.99 per month on Sky and £9.99 on Freeview. Subscriptions are also available for Cable Tv viewers and even via your PC or Mac.

Sky Digital For Flats
Do you live in a block of flats and would like Sky Digital but thought the installation would be aggravation or near impossible?
A lot of people don’t realise that Sky can arrange for a communal IRS (integrated reception system) or a shared dish system to be installed.
IRS System
The Sky IRS is a complete system comprising of Tv aerial, radio aerial and satellite dish and will usually have to be arranged by the social landlord, developer or management company.
Shared Dish System
The Sky shared dish system is a shared dish solely for viewing Sky Tv in blocks with less than 49 flats and no higher than 3 stories (one dish for up to 24 subscribers, two for more subscribers). If the block is taller than 3 stories Sky may still be able to install for you and can offer bespoke installations. To have the shared dish system installed you only need 4 households/flats to sign up for Sky’s shared dish.
To register your interest with one of these scheme’s or to find out more information visit Sky’s communal Tv systems website at communaltv.sky.com
