Quote ="hindyscrack" Here comes the ">cancellation.'" good luck with that, got cut off four times trying to cancel by phone, so i think i'm just going to cancel the direct debit and send them an email.

e-mailed them a second time complaining they hadn't responded the first time.



their reply:



Thank you for your e-mail.





Due to programme scheduling, we have had to cut the live NRL games to one per week. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, we are hoping to rectify this to two plus games per week from May 2009.

Got a courtesy call today asking how I was enjoying Setanta, when I said I wasn't because the reason I pay £12.99 a month is for the three weekly NRL games and they have been reduced to one the girl said she'd ask her supervisor why, when she returned she said it was because Setanta hadn't got the NRL fixture list so until they get it they will only be showing one game!!!!!!

Anyway she then asked me if I would cancel I told her that I wasn't sure, she then offered me £10.99 for a 6 months contract or £9.99 for a 12 month one which she said I wouldn't want as she new I would be cancelling after the NRL grand final!



£10.99 is obviously better than £12.99 but I'd rather have the three games for the full price.



Lance

And whilst you're at it, get them to bring back Southern Television too ....

Erm, where the fook is the Footy Show?



So some amateur football e goes to penalties, we still have to sit through their usual crap.



And now those truly unfunny Morino/Rooney puppets are on.

Three weeks after my contact I'm still waiting for a response from a "5 working days" answer so I've bothered them again with this.. [iI contacted you with a complaint regarding me signing up to yourselves with the promise of 2/3 australian rugby league matches per week (advertised by yourselves) to have had one match per week since i joined. YOUR AUTOMATED EMAIL SAID I WOULD GET A RESPONSE WITHIN 5 DAYS "THREE WEEKS LATER I'VE HEARD NOTHING" This is shoddy at best. I am contacting OFFCOM to see what they think. My next contact with you is cancellation.[/i I've just had my automated response that says we will contact you within 5 working days... icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="icon_rolleyes.gif" title="Rolling Eyes" />

Anyone got anymore news on this?



I know it's still only 1 game per wkend at the moment but was wondering if anybody had any more details before I cancel my subscription.

Friday games back from May 29th it seems. www.rugbyleagueontv.co.uk Must be waiting for the football to finish although I still don't get why they don't show the Friday games now - because they are showing bugger all else.

i rang up to cancel last night, told em i was unhappy about the reduction on nrl, girl explained very nicely its due to contractual gubbins and various tv companies bidding/fighting for the rights to show(tried not to snort down the phone) gave me some BS about the magners league, politely declined any interest in that and then she offered me 3 months at half price, at which point i can ring and cancel if things aren't back to normal.



Granted, its not the best offer ever but i watch the UFC on occasion and although i was serious about cancelling, i was in two minds as its the lesnar v mir fight in july, but i couldn't justify full whack between now and then.



I can watch that then bin it.





Though the impression she gave me over the nrl games really didn't sound positive at all, there was no "it's changing back, i promise you" attempt at lying to me.

The top and bottom of it is that setanta have paid out that much money on Premier league/Fa Cup/ England matches that it is simply running out of cash.

It is refusing to honour its £125 million pound 4 year SPL deal unless they renegotiate.

This is putting a squeeze on NRL,BUNDESLIGA etc

Now that's funny.



I always thought that people paid over the odds for moronball and there's far too much moronball on the box.



As much as it it infringing on the "Greatest Game" and in the short term maybe a loss for our great game in terms of coverage, the TV people may realise ( Doubtful I know) that they are paying well over the odds for a pup and that there are better dogs in the pack.



Ah well that's business.

Sorry but that sounds like setanta propoganda to me.



£125 million contract V probably less than 100k they pay for NRL secondary rights through fox?!?!



The point i cant understand with this scernario is that they get up to three games anyway....the argument that they are having problems with premiership and SPL rights should surely mean MORE NRL and more Bundesleiga etc. as these are the cheaper contracts so therefore they can fill more airtime with these if they are struggling with other rights.



In terms of entertainment value v cost of the contract, to a general sporting consumer, the NRL contract is far more efficient than any of the other rights. Therefore i cant understand why contractual problems elseweher would lead to a reduction in NRL?!?! surely this coverage would be increased to reduce dead airtime.



Seems silly business to me. Every RL fan would rather pay full whack setanta fees and get the 3 nrl games per week promised rather than get 1 for half price. So rather than reduce their revenue streams further when they are having funding problems, why dont they just show the NRL that they have paid the rights for anyway?! Its not like theres any additional broadcast costs as well. they're just taking a direct feed from fox etc?



Smacks of lunacy and/or a load of old bull excrement if you ask me!!

The worst thing is, we keep getting the 17:30 saturday game which is usually the worst game of the round.

Eels v Sharks? You spoil us, ambassador.
