Default Setanta sports, any good.

I want to watch the Liverpool Everton game on Sunday and thought about getting Setanta.
1. Freeview or Sky, is there a difference
2.Any offers anyone has seen.

Any other comments. I have no other subscriptions, but love football.

some of the ufc fights are boribg though to be honest, esp when there on the ground, i know thats the point of the ufc, but i just find it can go on for too long.

Bunch of complete and utter muppets.

Quick to take your money but if you have a problem you'll never get a reply to an e-mail or be able to get anyone on the phone. Worst customer service I've ever experienced.

I've tried to cancel in the past on numerous occassions and never been able to. Unfortunately as they now have UFC rights which I love I have to continue giving the robbing barstewards £12.99 a month

But for rugby fans like me...they unfortunately cover a lot of the magers league. So they get my money :-( The commentators are muppets. Monotone voices send me to sleep!
