yep. there was a big story about this on bbc radio 5. plenty of folk having big problems getting rid. they even advised listeners to go to the citizens advice.



letters written to setanta explaining why you're cancelling your subscription.

Not to pee on ya bonefire but the only person that does streaming of NRL is from the UK so you will still only get one game a week.

sad but true

Really? Not sure where you watch it.

just cancel your direct debit, should be enough for them to get the message that you wish to cancel the subscription.

I stopped paying Setanta by accident and only discovered when the channel stopped working. They then sent me a letter demanding payment, which I forgot about. Not that I was going to pay, mind, as it seemed they had been overcharging me so as we were even as far as I was concerned.



That was until the other week when they wrote to me again, only this time offering me a discount to re-subscribe. I assumed they must be used to people just cutting off payment as a way of leaving.



Michael.

Between Foxsports and Channel Nine you can watch all games live in Oz unless there are two games on at the same time in which case you get a choice which to watch.

Or Chan Nine who has two games on Friday nights shows the Qld games first in Qld and the interstate game second and vice a versa down South.



Beyond that and the continual replays all week you have the

Footy Show on Thursday and Sunday

Fox Rugby League show

Fox NRL Tactics

Toyota Cup

Barefoot League

2 x Super League games (one live)



More than enough even for an addict.

I assume they have the broadcast rights but pay per game so if they knock it down to 1 game then they save money. Otherwise what are they saving by not broadcasting? They don't do any production on them because they use the programmes as supplied by Nine or Fox and they show essentially at dead time in the early morning.

I don't subscribe to Setanta as I find their coverage embarrassing at times (Rugby and Football). If you were to ring them and say you were cancelling with immediate effect due to them cutting their coverage of NRL I reckon they'd offer it to you half price until normal service resumes.

thanks for the support guys...



as for coverage of the magners league, thats a crock because NRL programming (with current summer timings in Aus) is:

friday: 8:30am

saturday: 8:30am

Sunday: 3:30am

monday:8:30am



No other sport they show would surely clash, not to mention the fact that teleshopping is being shown at this time on a subscription channel!



It says that a response should take up to 5 days, will be interesting to see what they come back with. Last time I tried to cancell at the end of the NRL season I was offered half price until March.

Can't believe they have Teleshopping on next Friday! Email has been sent.

we have RL on every night on TV including :



mon - 5 hours

tuesday - 1/2 hour

wednesday - 1hour

thursday - 2hours

friday - 5 hours + replay

sat - 6 hours

sunday - 6 hours including a choice between SL on 9 and a live NRL game on fox at the same time

thanks Dally, as an ex-pat I am aware of how much RL is shown on television back home through fox, 9 and abc.



now, what is your point?

Invitation to treat is one of the most irritating concepts in Law I have come across. You can make an invitiation to treat for anything in the form of an advertisement and you don't have to actually offer it. Strange.
