I hope that you've been enjoying the free sample of Setanta Sports on Galaxy 25. In a lot of ways, I wish that ESPN was more like Setanta, where you get actual events any hour of the day instead of endless studio shows of folks talking about sports.
I don't know how long Setanta will stay in the clear, but once it's gone, you should consider subscribing. It's available from World TV (formerly GlobeCast), from DirecTV, and there's a rumor going around that it might become available from Dish Network. Is that the reason Setanta's in the clear now? All I heard was that there were some "technical issues" and that it was the "decision of the channel" to be FTA until those are resolved.
Anyway, when the time comes, it might be worth getting whichever proprietary hardware you choose (World TV, DirecTV, or maybe Dish) just to subscribe to this great channel. Check it out!

Yes, this is an AWESOME channel! And I was very saddened to see it scrambled today. The last 3 weeks or so have been great while it was ITC. It made me an IRB Rugby fan. I even bought the video "The Greatest Match Ever Played" that they keep advertising!! Well I may very well subscribe just to catch the Rugby World Cup this September. My hat's off to Setanta Sports - a truly superb sports channel. Keep up the good work at FTAList/FTABlog. Reply to this

first time I've been here, looks pretty good. it's nice to know I'm not the only person watching these channels.
I really like the channels lists, as I haven't found all the channels listed here. I'm excited to check out sci-fi Friday I don't think I've ever scanned AMC5. I can hardly wait to get home and try it.
