I've been away for a few days but have heard that Setanta and NASN are being 
broadcast as one package from 1st Feb. Has anyone else heard anything about 
this ? What's the impact on anyone who subscribes to both ? The respective 
websites don't mention anything at the moment.

cheers,

As far as I'm aware Setanta are the company behind NASN.
If they start diluting NASN with Scottish football or Gaelic sports I'll be 
wanting a HUGE reduction in my subscription!!!!

That won't happen - both channels will keep their separate identities, it's 
the pricing of the package for both channels that is suppose to be changing.

So does that mean we will end up paying extra to also watch Scottish 
football?  IF so they can bugg*r off.

No - as far as I understand it, and it's not very clear yet is that if you 
subscribe to Setanta you get NASN free, but not the other way around. Oh, 
and BTW, some of the Scottish Football is quite good.......

You're entitled to your own opinion - but it's hardly an objective view is 
it ?

Two good teams in one country hardly is enough to say they produce good 
football.  A number of my Scottish friends detest the football.  If it was 
so great Sky would have it and not Setanta.

Anyway back to the point in hand any news on NASN and Setanta?

There are a couple of interesting threads going in the digitalspy 
forums on this.
It looks like, as of now, anyone with Setanta channels is now getting 
NASN as well.
NASN subscribers, however, will also be given the setanta channels, 
but suffer an increase in monthly subscription from March, and no 
option to have NASN without the other setanta channels.

Spot on.  I just phoned and NASN subscribers are stuck with an increase and 
these bloody stupid Setanta channels.  NASN say its tough and they are not 
breaching our contracts but IMPROVING them.  ANyone in a twelve month 
contract is stuck end of story.

Hmmm. I'd heard some time ago Setanta were in financial trouble. Wonder if 
this is their solution?!?!

Received my cofirmation of the Setanta package today.
Only subscribed in the first place to watch the Nascar. Cancelled my
package immediatly.
Suggest a few more people cancell as well then we may revert to
original

I've already compained about it and asked them to cancel my NASN
subscription.

Why the hell should I have to subsidise 5 extra channels i'm never
gonna watch. It's really pissed me off as I love NASN, but sometimes
you just can't let these things go.
