Not sure what they can do, heard stories of ones having trouble canceling a debit card. You could always tell the bank you "lost" your debit card, get it cancelled and a new one issued which will have a different number on.

Finally got a reply from Setanta Broadband, I threatened to contact the Better Business Bureau, 5 minutes later got a reply back stating that they will refund my money.

how to watch rte from anywhere in the world
think these are the links

RTE 1
For Windows Media Player
mms://89.207.56.17/wmtencoder/rte1-450.wmv
For Real Player
rtsp://89.207.56.45/broadcast/rte1-450.rm
rtsp://89.207.56.17/broadcast/rte1-450.rm
rtsp://89.207.56.45:554/broadcast/rte1-450.rm
rtsp://89.207.56.17:554/broadcast/rte1-450.rm

Thanks for these, as a matter of interest does any one know why these are not geo blocked? Also I can connect to RTE 2 but not RTE 1, does anyone else have the same problem?

Not sure if someone has posted this before but for those of us in the UK the link below is excellent for watching RTE2 - its very good quality however it has jsut come back after coming off air for a while! But its better than nothing for watching the gaelic!

mms://live2.wm.rte.servecast.net/rte_wmlz_rte2-450.wmv

Is the Sunday Game on RTE2? If not is there a similar site for RTE1? Cheers.

ESPN to launch UK sports channel


The US broadcaster ESPN has announced plans to launch a new UK sports channel, called ESPN, on 3 August.

The channel will show 46 live Barclays Premier League football games, which were to have been shown by Setanta until it missed a payment deadline.

The channel will also show some of the US sports to which ESPN owns rights.

ESPN has reached an initial deal to have the channel shown on Sky, but it is in talks with all UK pay-TV platforms about carrying the service.

Sky will also be responsible for selling advertising on the new channel.

ESPN owns the rights to broadcast 46 live Premier League games in the 2009/10 season and 23 matches for each of the following three seasons.

Sky's residential customers will have to pay a premium of £9 a month for the new channel if they already pay for Sky Sports or £12 a month if they do not.

For commercial customers it will be part of the "ultimate" channel package.

The Premier League matches on ESPN will be produced by Sky Sports, although it will feature ESPN branding.

ESPN also owns rights to show American football, ice hockey, baseball and college football and basketball throughout Europe, which it used to show in the UK on its ESPN America channel.

ESPN is owned by The Walt Disney Company.

Another £9 a month to watch the premiership this season then. Not sure if it will be worth it as they won't show as many sports as the Setanta package offered

Those Saturday evening games were always a great excuse to piss off to the pub for a few hours so I won't be subscribing to ESPN

Anyone know where all the PGA Golf tournaments are being shown?
They use to be on Setanta but obviously aren't anymore,so I wonder who has the rights now,Sky aren't showing anything other than what they already did

The will probably have to sell the rights again, similar to the UFC, SPL, Magners League etc.

UFC 100 will be shown live on tv, with Virgin 1 favourites to show it. Six TV channels are bidding for future rights of UFC - Sky Sports, ESPN, Bravo, Virgin 1, Five and an unnamed channel, with ESPN in the lead at the moment to win the rights.
