  Setanta: One month in: disappointing 

  So far I’ve been a bit let down by Setanta. Mainly due to one reason, they can’t seem to tell me what’s on.

  Tonight at 8:00pm was a good example:
  Bell ExpressVu listing: Manchester United vs Middlesbrough
  Setanta Canada Website: Bolton vs Aston Villa
  Actually on TV: Derby vs Everton

  Three sources, all different.

  So far Setanta’s attention to detail has not been on par with the cost of the channel.

  There is supposed to be TheScore2 coming that should be specializing in Football, Cricket and Rugby. I hope they’re a real competitor for Setanta, then maybe they’d stop sucking.

  Setanta on Bell ExpressVu Canada round 4 [Updated] 

  From the BigSoccer forums:

  Certain Shaw Customers in a panic: If this helps -

  At 11:35 this morning, I called Bell ExpressVu. Customer service representative knew nothing about Setanta. I persisted, and after 12 minutes he came back and said that his Supervisors had indicated that there was no final deal with Setanta and that “down the road” we may have information. I told the Rep. that the Channel was supposed to be up and running today by 10:00 am and that it would be on Channel 420.

  I was told that my facts were wrong, and that he was in possession of the latest information.

  24 minutes later, Bell ExpressVu activated channel 420 with a notation that the channel will go “live” on August 11.

  The moral to this story. The customer reps know nothing. They’re ill-advised. Give it time. If the news came out only today, it’ll take a day to have it filtered down. Hang tough. It’s happening.

  Update: the channel is live:

  Setanta on Bell ExpressVu Canada round 3 

  I call Bell yesterday regarding Setanta. Apparently, they’re still negotiating the deal. I’m not optimistic that it will be available for this weekend. The August 2nd Remote Control is more optimistic than I am.

  We’re missing a few good matchups:
  - Sunderland at Tottenham
  - ManU at Reading on Sunday
  - Chelsea at Birmingham on Sunday

  The Score lucked out and got West Ham at ManCity – which will be a boring game.

  Setanta on Bell ExpressVu Canada round 2 

  The Star printed an article about Setanta getting the rights to pretty much every EPL game this year.

  So it looks like if you want to watch the EPL you need Setanta. Apparently, it’s $15 a month.

  Setanta coming to Canada via Bell ExpressVU 

  I emailed Setanta regarding availability in Canada and they have an announcement mid-August. Odd that’s about the time the English Premier League is set to start.

  Hot! Now I can drop Fox Sports World.
