AjcW Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 Since setanta went bust this channel has become available to me as a sky customer, whereas before the collapse it flashed up with the you need to be a subscriber message. Can anyone shed any light as to whether they were part of the setanta package. Nice to have it now anyway, I quite like a few of the yank sports.
lildave3 Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 I have it too? :w00t: This could be heaven for my basketball fixation.
AjcW Posted 19 July 2009 Author Posted 19 July 2009 I have it too? :w00t: This could be heaven for my basketball fixation. Thats what made me so happy was very surprised when i put it on the other day .
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 My dad has it on alot, it's mainly baseball and basketball.
lildave3 Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 My dad has it on alot, it's mainly baseball and basketball. This is fantastic. It may have made my week - nay, year!
Cobbo Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 It's on freeview too at the moment, on the old Setanta channel. Think it is just while they come up with a replacement.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 This is fantastic.It may have made my week - nay, year! I'm not sure if they get NBA on it though. Everytime I've watched it it's college level, the same with American football (although I know you don't care for that). There's also alot of quickfire shows with pundits talking about everything, so if you like angry Americans shouting at each other, this is the channel for you.

Oh. Well college level is still decent enough.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 Oh. Well college level is still decent enough. My mistake, they do have NBA. As well as a shit load of ice hockey, that never seems to be off it.
lildave3 Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 My mistake, they do have NBA. As well as a shit load of ice hockey, that never seems to be off it. Heaven. Heaven heaven heaven. I shall glance through the show listings now that i've favourited it
AjcW Posted 19 July 2009 Author Posted 19 July 2009 Heaven. Heaven heaven heaven. I shall glance through the show listings now that i've favourited it I love ice hockey and basketball. Watch it get taken off air again next week now .
Webbo Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 I dont get it.Outraged. Have you tried rescanning your channels?
Jimmy Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 you won't have it for long, they are closing it in the UK ready for the launch of the new ESPN UK channel that'll show the Premier League games
Samilktray Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 Have you tried rescanning your channels? Im on NTL, so that may be why I dont get it.
Guest Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 I have it too? :w00t: This could be heaven for my basketball fixation. My brother told me about this, he is getting his baseball fill. you won't have it for long, they are closing it in the UK ready for the launch of the new ESPN UK channel that'll show the Premier League games My brother does not like this.
Koke Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 Oh. Well college level is still decent enough. I would watch College basketball if I could. Man, I'm jealous of you. I'll be fuming if you get NBA too.
lildave3 Posted 19 July 2009 Posted 19 July 2009 you won't have it for long, they are closing it in the UK ready for the launch of the new ESPN UK channel that'll show the Premier League games <_< I would watch College basketball if I could. Man, I'm jealous of you.I'll be fuming if you get NBA too. Doesn't seem we'll have it for long.
Jordan Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 My mistake, they do have NBA. As well as a shit load of ice hockey, that never seems to be off it. WTF? Ice hockey on ESPN over there? ESPN doesn't NHL games in the USA. I WANT JUSTICE! There's also alot of quickfire shows with pundits talking about everything, so if you like angry Americans shouting at each other, this is the channel for you. Watch Pardon The Interruption (PTI), but only watch it when Mike Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser host.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 Had it for ages always all 4 major american sports on......also some random like paintball and spelling bee
Jimmy Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 My brother told me about this, he is getting his baseball fill.My brother does not like this. tell him the new channel may well continue to show the American sports, they have more hours to fill they they have live matches
