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.

Tv Power Consumption
The new age of digital Tv in the Uk brings us many new possibilities. More channels and choice, high definition broadcasts with superb picture quality and interactivity, and increasing carbon emissions!
Twenty years ago most households had one television set. Now the typical home is estimated to have 3 or 4 Tv’s, 2 DVD players, a PC and monitor, a couple of set top boxes and a radio or two. All of these are nearly always powered up, albeit in standby mode.
Can we be blamed? Probably not. The cost of manufacture has fallen considerably over the last quarter of a century and with manufacturers making even more sophisticated and desirable Tv equipment, we all want the next must have!
It is thought that by 2020 all the extra gadgets could drive domestic energy usage up by as much as 20% compared to todays’ figures. This would be a huge increase and even the most anti-green people would have to agree. Today the estimated domestic standby usage of the Uk is around 5% of total electricity use, 1% of total CO2 emissions.
The Energy Saving Trust believe that a typical household in the Uk has up to 12 pieces of equipment either charging or in standby mode at any given time. That is around £740million that could be knocked of the Uk’s total domestic electricity bill yearly. Read more
