Setanta - utter, utter ****

[Shaggy]

Is it just me or is Setanta absolutely ****ing wank?

I have lost count of the number of games that have been unwatchable due to the picture breaking up. In the past I've rung to complain and they set it up on another channel. Normal Setanta is unwatchable at the moment so I've gone to my extra channel and that is the same. I'm ****ing fuming. I pay for this ****. Anyone else experiencing the same difficulties?

[-V-]

Never pay for setanta. **** em its just another tax on football fans.

Use Sopcast

[Jayesh87]

I thought you meant the quality of the programming, rather than the picture.

I get it on cable and the picture is fine.

Then again, on Virgin, you get it free if you take the XL package.

[Shaggy]

The quality of programming is dire but you can put up with that. When the picture is freezing, jerking and breaking up every 2 seconds it's ****ing infuriating. It's usually when the weather is a bit inclement but it's fine today and the channel is on its arse. I think I may have to write a strongly-worded letter.

[Joe King]

Both the quality and the programming is wank. Its kind of unfair to compare it with Sky as they have invested millions into furthering their technology whilst it seems Setanta lease their equipment from Channel five.

Programming side: don't they have some pig awful presenters (besides Jimbo Richardson ) and pundits?

I've said it before, Setanta is the Ryan Air of television.

I do enjoy the Mourinho puppet show thingy though

I find that show totally cringeworthy.

Are you with Sky shaggy, cos I never have my signal go like that on Virgin and it works fine on my parents BT.

[Shaggy]

Yep Sky mate. It could possibly because my house backs on to a wood and so there are loads of trees around.......but surely in this day and age a few trees can't scupper a satellite signal?!

Lol, I think you problem has been found

[Mike]

We have setanta on sky, never had any problems with it.

[Fivex]

I also have it on sky, and usually get the same problems with the picture breaking up. It was fine today though. I can't believe I'm paying 13 squid for it though. Is there a sopcast alternative for macs anyone?

Not if its only for one channel and the rest are fine. Never had a problem myself.
