Free Setanta!

Post by Salford Trotter » Thu Jul 26, 2007 11:09 pm

I was surprised that I could get Setanta tonight as I hadn't subscribed to it but coz I've got the full Virgin Media package then I get Setanta thrown in!

When you say the full Virgin media package, could you give us a little more detail please, fella. Are we talking phone, broadband, tele, and mobile? How much? Oh, and summat that's just entered my head, is the free Sinatra not just for a trial period to get you fished in? :conf:

It's ok, someone appreciates you mentioning it. :wink:

It appears I've got this as well. Excellent stuff. :D

This more than makes up for the loss of SSN and Sky one.

It's free for life. We are also making our own version of Sky Sports News due to launch in the new season.

Virgin in association with Setanta. It will be free to all customers, not just those on XL package.

That is actually a very good move by Virgin, particularly if they stick it on Freeview and even Sky.

Hopefully it is a decent substitution for Sky sports news.

It's obviously not going to be as good as SSN to begin with but we are hopeful it will become a proper rival within a year.

That has pretty much stopped me jumping ship from Virgin. Fair play to them....

Yep. Very good deal by Virgin.

Perfan, do you work for either Virgin or Setanta?
