considering getting a setanta sunscription for the next 2 months to catch the NFL. I'd be getting through the sky platform.

Before i bite the bullet, has anyone experienced many problems trying to cancel their susbscriptions with them as the have bad history of this years ago.

I had woeful grief with it about 2 years ago as well, and I made the mistake of setting up the direct debit off a credit card for my own personal reasons. That made it twice as much of a nightmare.

If you set up direct debit from the bank, it should be straightforward enough I'd say, but I'd tread carefully all the same.

I cancelled recently, there is an email address I can dig up for you. Then you have to wait 1 month cos that's what the contract says. They'll offer u the package for a fiver a month for 3 months a week or so before your cancellation comes into effect.

signed up there.
intend to take the mininum 2 months. reading the contract, it would appear i have to cancel in 10-30 days time so to get the mininum 2 months..

mylestheslasher, i'd appeciate if you send me on or pm me the email used to cancel the subscription.

I have just signed up as well and like you will be cancelling so I only have it for 2 months. Really looking forward to the footie.

setanta uk are doing a deal at the minute, £3.99 a month for the 1st 3 months, then you can cancel.

Is there much on the channel apart from the national league?

You have to give a months notice when cancelling so bear that in mind.
