I nearly got setanta last week cos i wanted to watch NRL again as i love it. Glad my missus talked me out of it....

Its a shame really, Ive had Setanta for the last two NRL season and the coverage has been far far better than when Sky had it, you also got the NRL on Fox shows and the footy show (which they still have!) still i suppose one game is better than none, whether it's worth the fee is debatable.
Satanta gets alot of stick IMO, I can understand why your upset about less NRL games but I'm overall quite impressed with the channel and quite like the extra premiership game and odd England game

I pay overt the odds for the full Sky+ package. For the limited tV I watch and the crap that's on its' simply not worth it.
If anything I would rather cut back on channels than pay for yet another like Sultana or whatever.
I've even resisted the temptation for Sky HD.
If t'wife and kids would let me I'd cancel the lot and just have freeview.

The skill with which the Cowboys threw away the game to the Bronchos was top bag. The way they were so composed in losing the ball every touch for the last 25 mins, it's something all SL teams should aspire to. God save the NRL

Hi I phoned Setanta myself yesterday and told them exactly the same as you. I was told if you want to cancel it is a minimun contract of 6 months and 30 days notice. I have e-mailed a complaint, but have not rec'd a reply as yet. Obviously rugby league supporters are getting shaffted yet again by the tv companies, as we did when Sky stopped showing N R L games because they got league one games free.
