My fellow NLanders in London and all around the UK, this has got to be the crappiest decision I have made in 3yrs!
I got so carried away by the desire to watch a crucial game on super sunday that I didnt bother to investigate this company before entering their service. They said it was not a contract, you simply join and whenever you want to leave, you cancel your direct debit. I have come to discover that all that is a huge lie, when you join, they charge you (£34.99) more than you would pay for Tv, broadband, and phone services (put together) with any other provider like sky or virgin! and when you cancel your direct debit, they call you to inform you that you now have to give them a 30 days notice period, during which you must still pay another month's extra fees of £9.99!

I can't believe I was so careless that one game has cost me approximately £50! when i didnt buy the ticket to watch it at the stadium!
I'm sure many have fallen victims because this must be the scam of the year! but i want to ensure that you at least know what you're getting into before you leap, they will never tell you in the beginning, but when you find out whats happening, they are so bloody rude that you almost flip your lid! I feel cheated, i feel insulted, and all because i decided to spend my own hard earned money!

Beware oh!

@ Whitelexi,

Are u sure of this?
Setanta Sports have no contracts. . . . . U call 'em up and subscribe and u pay every month £9.99 per month.
You will get disconnected if u don't pay for subsequent months so how did u get skanked?
Besides, why did u leave ur bank details to do Direct Debit?
Everyone i know paid by debit/credit card so u have yourself to blame allowing those Irish goons to dip hands in ur bank.
DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEHEHE

I thought it was only me
Setanta sports are the biggest fraudsters in 2008. @Jackal, i dont know how your friends are getting along but those people dealt me a serious blow earlier this year and i just decided to stick with my Sky sports. At least Sky Sports staff are not rude! Talk of rudeness, those Irish fools have no regard for anyone, they just insult you and think they can get away with it

I wanted to go to OFCOM but i knew it would be difficult to carry the financial burden. I wont advice anyone to go there sha

I must have got my info from where u got your's but believe me, i dont know if this is the new style or something but they require direct debit payments, and hey, they have a contract now! They've baptized it "Monthly Rolling Contract"
Basically, u cannot pay for just one month anymore, it now has to start from 2 months because you have to give a 30 day notice period for all cancellations
I've cancelled my direct debit oh but they are threatening to continue charging, and you know how the story goes, one day bailiff will come to your house to say you now owe £25k from 18months ago

@ Whitelexi,

I joined Setanta Sports in August when i realised PREM PLUS has been scrapped. . . . .
The funniest thang was i saw their ad on Nairaland, clicked on it and called em up.
They asked for ma SKY viewing card number and i was asked to pay for 1 month. . . . I actually wanted to pay for the season.
Since then, i always have to call up every month to pay £9.99 every month and it's been fine since then. . . .

They get to show loads of French/German/Scottish games so i cannot understand how u got short-changed.
The only problem they have is getting through on a matchday. . . . U would wait n wait n wait for an idiot to attend to y'all worries.
I am not aware they are now doing monthly rolling contracts . . .I guess it's the price u had to pay for joining late.
Setanta has been okay for me. . . . . U can report em to watchdog if u feel u have been skanked.

Hahaha, America, home of the free and brave!

Sssshhh Son, Yo, it aint our fault. Its d damn broadband!!!

BTW, its just 5 mins delayed max! It aint like we watch 'em games with a Big "R" Recorded on our screen 

Imma take a 5-30 mins delayed view rather than forking and coughing out free cheddarz to Setanta! I do FOXsoccerchannel (FSC) rather than effing Setanta

Fucking Rupert Murdoch swallowing your Cheeses in Pounds (Sky sports) and my already devalued and recession struck Dollars (FSC)


@ Whitelexi

Yo, i could hook a brother up with the site, but prepare to paypal my ass because i don't do freebies. This aint the UK where Y'all queue for dole and freebies.

If u prepare moi cash _{(I don't do Dollars no more, heck even 'em NewYork Escots and Ashys get paid in Euros now)}), you are a click away from watching setanta for the rest of your life!

@ Rikkyjen,

So now u know the value of the dollar is as worthless as the Naira?
That is priceless coming from a Yank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear on me life. . . . Setanta is great. . . . .Their analysis is worthless as Steve McManaman spews fuckery all the time.
Watching ur bootleg sites can get us into trouble. . . . . we dont do freebies in the UK!!!!
Met. Police would come calling sooner than later.

Here we go again, jackal, i'm telling you that those weak ass fools think we have no brains in our heads. They told me i could cancel anytime and thats why my 1st payment to them included a one off payment (£24.99) to cover all admin expenses when i do cancel, add the months fee of £9.99 and you have the price of a ticket to see the games live!

To make issues worse, i cancel even long before my 1st month is over because i don't use the crap service anyway (I only ever used it for the game i initially wanted anyway). So i subscribe for one month because of 1 game, then i cancel like 2weeks into the month, only for them to want another £9.99 to cover for a period of 30 days they NOW require for them to cancel my service properly

I think the credit crunch is begining to bite them and they now want people like me to fund their business
What do i need their crap tv service for when i've got Sky, why would i opt for their crap analysis when i have Andy Gray
I'm not really surprised jackal likes them, i just want u to know it could be u tomorrow C'est Finni

I think the vote says it all.

ENOUGH OF THIS FIGHTING

SETANTA ARE CRAP>>> FINISH

Funny this has come up here, my brother has been on my neck to get this service. At least i have another reason to hold my plans down.

Always nice to seek a 2nd opinion

Thats where i watch all my Prem Footie so i would object to that and its free by the way

slavery,

@whitelexi

Are you saying they will charge me extra if I cancel with them,I intend to do so at the end of the season. I have a Direct Debit with them. . , can't remember whether they charged me any money upon signing up with them.

. . . . . and they went out
