Setanta sports 1 free to air

Just flicking through the sports channels and found Setanta Sports 1 to be showing the golf, which is nice because I'm not a subscriber. Is anyone else able to view the golf?

Nope. Just the usual screen telling me how I can subscribe.

Re: Setanta sports 1 free to air

I've got the Hatton fight build up now.

I was going to subscribe for the event, but I'm not sure if I need too now.

Was flicking through the Freeview line up tonight and saw the golf there free for the first time. Didn't bother to check on Sky.

Re: Setanta sports 1 free to air

I subscibed to Setanta on Friday via their website!
They were offering a "Buy one month get 2 free" offer

Thats 3 months of only £15 WITH NO 12-MONTH CONTRACT!

I posted about it in advance here.

Because this is not a "High-Definition" topic, I didn't post it here but in the non-Sky HD forum.

Sorry guys if you missed it.

(Actually, I just found that the offer is still available here)

Compared with ITV4.... VERY GOOD!
Compared with BBC HD... Not so good.

It was average quality; acceptable for SD. By "averge", I mean that it is better than say the Champions League on ITV.

But you know, and I know, that anything is better than football on ITV which is barely watchable.
