I would dearly love to have the option of Setanta here. Probably willing to pay at least $10 a month for it, if not more.

Buying the rights for live football from each country is obviously going to cost a lost more than $10 a month for the 200 people that will subscribe to it.
It seems to me that live international NZ games, or even A league games featuring the Phoenix, attract about 150 viewers on sky - way less than repeats of netball games or shows where people discuss US college basketball. With this in mind, why is everyone bitching that football does not get enough coverage?
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

But surely you understand that the market is tiny so it is not in their interest. Really tiny, and this is backed up by viewing figures.
It is like someone who likes watching horses sleeping complaining that there isn't a channel dedicated to showing live sleeping horses, which could run for 24 hours a day as there is horses sleeping all over the world

Will be interesting to see what else (apart from AFL) Sommet Sports will be showing when they launch on Freeview (supposed to be sometime this month). The football picture on their website looks like an Inter change kit, so hopefully that's a sign we'll see some Serie A.

The Aussies get on ok with it. Are you saying they've only got 1000 subscribers (with their 5x the population)?
Not sure why Setanta-i doesn't provide better coverage either. I'd even subscribe online if I could. It is just annoying that in this day and age, people who want to cannot even watch SPL (among others) on a half decent stream at a half decent price (Hibs website charges around $20 per game, which for the quality, football wise and stream wise, just isn't worth it!).

Will still only be SD for most subscribers, is only HD for those with the HD tickets on top of their MySky HDI.
Don't get your knickers in a twist because you still watch VHS and have Dial up....
I don't pay for the extra HD Access ticket, if that is what you are asking?
I pay sky the bare minimum to view football, thats it. not paying all those extras for what is already a mediocre service. mi sky or whatever the fark its called is the biggest joke, dont understand the concept of recording something when pretty much everything is repeated a million times over.
The recording for me works well for middle of the night sport (Prem league, F1 etc), that I am not committed enough to get up in middle of my sleep to watch, I can record it and watch it when I do get up. (Admittedly I got MySky for free as part of my deal).
