Got this email from Sky just there. Seems like an alright deal for all sky customers regardless if you have Sky Sports or not. Suppose its not for everyone, but im sure if you already have ESPN, you can phone them and ask for the discount too!


Dear ******
We hope you're enjoying the Barclays Premi more...

I know it sounds awful and must admit, I personally lost £64.95 because I was stupid enough to pay upfront for the 12 months. But, what we have now is ESPN, which picture and sound is a million times better than Setanta ever was and it's in HD too!!

Costing nearly £4 a month less than Setanta, I'm more...

It's a small metal adapter, known as a Conditional Access Module that slides into the CI slot on a digital TV set. A CAM measures 10 x 5.5cm.

The CAM has it's own slot, into which you can slide a credit-card-sized subscription card.

I want it as I want ESPN and dont want another box under my TV!

Asking Price: 10.00

Shipping/Payment Instructions: Will pay £10 to get started (anyone want to haggle then I'm up for that!)

Payment via paypal

Is free for a limited time only - on ANY VirginMedia TV package.

UFC is on tonight but its on at 3am i wanted to know if anyone knew when the repeat would be on if there is one i have tried checking the espn uk website but its useless and slow as hell.

Thanx

This is great news for all the people that are upset over the lose of setanta.

I for one cant wait for the football season to start now. We even are getting ESPN Classic's as well which should be good to watch some of the great sporting moments from the post.

As title, instead of setanta it will be replaced with ESPN, much better in my opinion. Setanta was poor quality ESPN has endless budget so should be good

Customers will need to keep the viewing card

I think that NASN (which is now called ESPN America) was part of the Setanta pack... ie you can't just get that channel on its own.

Now that Setanta has gone down the pan is it possible to get the channel via Sky on another package/individually?

so, setanta have bought the rights to 46 premier league matches next season.. the slots they have bought are the saturday tea time and monday evening ones...

so far ESPN have agreed a deal to show the matches through sky via pay per view and are currently in discussions with virgin media to access more...
