I used to stay in for all the build-up. But now we all just go on a 4 hour pre-match bender and donate a load of cash to the Ladbrokes Benevolent Fund for Clueless Pissheads.

The nostalgia for a six-hour build-up to the Cup Final comes from the times when there were only a handful of live games on TV a year so the anticipation levels were so much higher.

I don't know about anybody else but Sky's two hour preview for an ordinary Premiership fixture used to make me want to stick my boot through the TV it was so tedious.

They're bringing back Saint and Greavsie for a one-off show in the build-up apparently.
I shall be watching the Lions warm-up game instead of the pundits build-up i think

Now the football is over as well as the Indian Premier League, any reason to have Setanta? I have heard that they are really difficult to cancel, anyone got any good tips?

They are starting at 9am because it could be one of the last major sporting events they cover.;)

Can anyone that has setanta ever get a signal when its raining? I cant!

Mine runs through cable (Virgin Media), but I know if you have sky/freeview its a problem that many people have which is pretty shit really.

Anyway now the football league has all finished at least we've got the ashes/T20 World cup to look forward to:clap:

Signal used to be a problem but since I have a new HD box the signal has been fine. Will be cancelling the service soon I reckon. No need to keep it.

Setanta is transmitted from Eurobird which is co-located with the Astra birds. When Sky your dish was installed if they didn't get optimum signal and quality strength but pointed it at 28.2 degrees east and latched onto a picture it means that some channels will come in weaker than others. Upgrading from an ordinary box to Sky+ or Sky+HD also creates problems as the lnb has to be changed over , this is heavier which in turn weighs down the lnb arm so the signal isn't focussed properly on the dish. When the dish is properly aligned the signal is ok and will only drop out with the rest of the channels during heavy rain , thunderstorms and snowfall.

Luckily the installer did their job properly. :)

I think this is the first time I have ever seen the words 'Setanta' and 'superb' in the same sentence, by the way. It looks a bit funny.

It will only be shown live on Setanta. Sky will have guests in the studio talking about the game. BBC will only show brief highlights on the news. ITV will show highlights at 10.30pm. If you dont subscribe to Setanta you can stream it from justin.tv and watch it live on your pc.
