Setanta : Wed Mar 25, 2009 10:18 pm  

Setanta are cutting their NRL games down to 1 a week instead of the 2 or3 they can show. They advertise a minimum of 2 games a week for subscribers. They are doing this for the next 2 months. Apparently they explained to a Wigan fan that they were covering extra Magners Rugby Union games. I have sent a strongly worded email threatening to cancel my subscription if the NRL games are not reinstated. I would like as many as possible to email them and complain, if enough do it could possibly sway things. http://www.setanta.com/uk/Contact-Us/

I got Setanta via Freeview purely for the NRL games only to discover their coverage on Freeview is from midday but the NRL games are shown prior to midday. I complained but got nowhere!

In fairness, the games are shown live from Australia so they would be before midday. You would have been better checking the schedules and broadcasting times before subscribing. Setanta by Broadband might be better for you...

I just called to cancel my Setanta subscription. When asked why I told them the reason was that they had cut the NRL games from what was originally to be 3 a week, which last year became 2 a week and for the next two months is set to be one week.

They have asked me if I would be interested in an offer and have told me that their customer service team will call me back in the next half an hour.

When they've done that I will write an update.
