They never show it earlier than 2 am eastern time. Its always on at 2 am east and 11 pm pacific. That's poor and horrible treatment if you ask me. Whats the point in showing it then if your just gonna treat it like crap. I wonder if we'll ever see a live international rugby match on that channel ever again. We used to have 2 live Super 12 rugby matches per week now its just 1 per week 3 day tape at 2 am. Pathetc.

When they changed their name to Fox Soccer Channel you should have realized this was coming. They even made mention of how the focus would change from international sporting to just soccer. Look at it this way, its either 2am tape delays or nothing at all. If it weren't for FSC this programming wouldn't be available at all on cable or satellite. It would only be PPV.

Uhh, Wrong. Wait for the Setanta Residential channel to come online. At least that's what I think based on whatever I've heard so far.

So when the Setanta Residential Channel, that has been rumored to be available since the days of Moses, actually exists we will be able to go back in time and watch those games live??? My point is still valid.....those games that he is complaining about were only going to be on FSC delayed or not at all.

First live Super-12 match on April 29 Hurricanes vs. Brumbies.
SportBoy333: I notice you also have Australian Football in your subject line. For this sport, I say forget about it for any respectable treatment even from the likes of Setanta. If FSC's timings don't suit you, I suggest getting a DVR or subscribing to the AFL online service.
