Setanta on Freeview?

[Freeview-ROI]

I notice that it no longer lists prices for setanta football matches on freeview after the 15th of January.Does this mean that it now works on the top up tv subscription system?

Also a while back there was a rumour that Setanta would be going nationwide on DTT, have there been any developments on this??
Now that the ITV news channel has ceased broadcasting surely the space could be used?

I was readin the Digital Spy forums, and someone had emailed TUTV, and posted the reply:

I emailed Setanta Sports yesterday asking them why i have this channel on my freeview box. I have now got a reply from them stateing that "it will become available to the uk very soon and for a limited period only, all live games are available to all Freeview customers when it lauches on air.
After that it will be available to Top Up Tv

 

[gnashers]

hey Im in kent and its on channel 34 is this correct?

 

[DOS]

Wonder if it will be working for sunday? Just checked, there are no prices on TUTV site anymore...

Gonna try hacking it if it does...then find something to watch...

 

[MA]

wait a minute, is Setanta only gonna show SPL matches? what about us viewers in other parts of the UK?

they're not really reaching a very wide market...

 

[reido2]

Agree, don't quite see how the current setanta will appeal to uk wide audience. Perhaps it will also bring feeds from setanta irelend (or setanta 2) which also broadcasts german / dutch etc highlights from around europe, And also a live game here or there.

 

[weerydo]

the game was great yesterday. gers vs motherwell. mon the gers.
