Has anyone heard that Setanta Sports is coming to Direct TV on April 26th? If that is true, that it is available to all directtv users that is going to be a great addition.

Setanta is the channel that gauges customers for the Euro Cup at $20/game, $150+/- for the entire tournament.

If they carry Euro 2008, I'll get Direct TV instead of Dish.

Does anybody know if they are carrying Euro 2008?

I'm sure it'll be on Dish Network. How could it not?

The big thing to note is that today Sentanta is only available to commercial locations, ie bars and restaurants with the big dish. Also, they offer two services, PPV and a regular channel which they call a pub channel. The pub channel carries a number of Galic sports and games from the Scottish and Nationwide League.

Here's an example that is on DirectTV, but not on DISH; NFL Sunday ticket.

Touché. Doesn't bug me since I bleed orange along with some black and blue.
