This is what makes me suspicious of their intentions in this matter. they havesetanta 2, setanta ireland which could also show them without affecting any live broadcasts.

Does anyone know if they are even going to show the other games on delayed broadcast?

yep. there was a big story about this on bbc radio 5. plenty of folk having big problems getting rid. they even advised listeners to go to the citizens advice.

letters written to setanta explaining why you're cancelling your subscription.

Not to pee on ya bonefire but the only person that does streaming of NRL is from the UK so you will still only get one game a week.

sad but true

Really? Not sure where you watch it.

just cancel your direct debit, should be enough for them to get the message that you wish to cancel the subscription.

I stopped paying Setanta by accident and only discovered when the channel stopped working. They then sent me a letter demanding payment, which I forgot about. Not that I was going to pay, mind, as it seemed they had been overcharging me so as we were even as far as I was concerned.

That was until the other week when they wrote to me again, only this time offering me a discount to re-subscribe. I assumed they must be used to people just cutting off payment as a way of leaving.

Michael.

Between Foxsports and Channel Nine you can watch all games live in Oz unless there are two games on at the same time in which case you get a choice which to watch.
Or Chan Nine who has two games on Friday nights shows the Qld games first in Qld and the interstate game second and vice a versa down South.

Beyond that and the continual replays all week you have the
Footy Show on Thursday and Sunday
Fox Rugby League show
Fox NRL Tactics
Toyota Cup
Barefoot League
2 x Super League games (one live)

More than enough even for an addict.

I assume they have the broadcast rights but pay per game so if they knock it down to 1 game then they save money. Otherwise what are they saving by not broadcasting? They don't do any production on them because they use the programmes as supplied by Nine or Fox and they show essentially at dead time in the early morning.

I don't subscribe to Setanta as I find their coverage embarrassing at times (Rugby and Football). If you were to ring them and say you were cancelling with immediate effect due to them cutting their coverage of NRL I reckon they'd offer it to you half price until normal service resumes.

thanks for the support guys...

as for coverage of the magners league, thats a crock because NRL programming (with current summer timings in Aus) is:
friday: 8:30am
saturday: 8:30am
Sunday: 3:30am
monday:8:30am

No other sport they show would surely clash, not to mention the fact that teleshopping is being shown at this time on a subscription channel!

It says that a response should take up to 5 days, will be interesting to see what they come back with. Last time I tried to cancell at the end of the NRL season I was offered half price until March.

Can't believe they have Teleshopping on next Friday! Email has been sent.
