Setanta in Australia

[Kinell]

Brilliant stuff, all falling neatly together

We got the Villa game on tele opening day?

I hope Fox treat us better this season.

Sure we had our fair share of games, but Chelsea and Man Utd were on telly pretty much whenever they had a game last season.

Then the other season they weren't going to show the Merseyside derby live, until i think it was LFCman and some of his pals kept emailing them.

Cheers mate!

No probs

I am getting Austar when I move to Cairns and I definitely want the full Setanta package to watch all Liverpool games.

I'll be getting onto that number above on Monday

[LFCman]

I read on an A-league forum that Setanta are looking at ways to get out of their contract for Chelsea TV in Australia to get the Liverpool station as they realize it would be far more popular.

I'm seriously sick of foxsports only showing 1 or 2 liverpool games a month at the extreme best. If this setanta channel will show all the Liverpool games then I'm seriously subscribing to it if it becomes available in Australia. I'll be calling them aswell. Is the place only open on monday? Can we call them on sunday?

mate we have been on nearly every week for the last 2 seasons

No way. Usually around october/november and onwards it gets spaced out. I remember last season there was a period where we missed 3 games in a row and now and then 2.

Mate, to be fair, there are 19 other teams in the EPL...

[ningnangnong]

Last season we were shown a lot because we had the midday kick off, you'll notice once the three o'clock kick offs came around, we were hardly on telly.

Always Man Utd and Chelsea.

[LFCman]

That's usually because we are out of the title race a few months into the season.

I've been tracking this Setanta issue on a Digital TV forum:

It's also revealed that Foxtel may finally be giving us what we really want - CHOICE.

See below:

"According to knowfirst, you will be able to choose from four EPL games when they are on at the same time - at times there can be up to ten played simultaneously, so they still won't be showing every game, but it's looking very good. "

And:

This Saturday the early game at 9:45pm EST on Fox Sports 2 is Sunderland v Spurs.

At midnight the game chosen is West Ham v Man City however if you don't want to watch that game, press the red button on your Foxtel remote and you will be launced into Viewers Choice. On your screen will appear four other matches, in this case Bolton v Newcastle, Derby v Portsmouth, Everton v Wigan and Middlesbrough v Blackburn. Navigate around the screen using your remote and chose which game you want to watch.

Last year Fox showed up to 6 matches live per week, this year it will be 9 or 10. The only game not on this weeknd is Arsenal v Fulham because of the time it's on. Sunday midday UK time.

It's illegal to show all 38 matches of a club's season but you'll probably see 35 or 36 LFC matches this coming campaign. There's 380 matches played in a season and you'll now get between 350-360 of them live on Fox Sports.

If you're getting your Fox Sports through Austar (people who live in the bush) then this feature won't be available until next month. "

If this is true, and announced on Thursday, then we could be seeing LOADS of live Liverpool EPL games this season!

****hot news if this is the case mate, I m on Austar so I ll be interested to hear how this goes on the weekend.

That thread also discusses Foxtel adding Setanta in Australia and how they may drop Chelsea TV to accomodate LFC TV as they've had loads of enquiries from Liverpool fans and realise there's more of us.

Fingers crossed - we could get all the Liverpool content we'll ever need!

Apparently it's an old friend of ours on his own LFC website that has the insider information.
