Three days ago, Setanta came out with a brand-new looking website. There is only one problem from this change: YOU CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT THEIR SCHEDULE IS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!! I purposely waited three days (and its already coming up on lunch time on Thursday in Ireland, where they do the website) for the guys to get the bugs out of this thing, but the weekend approaches, and I would like to take another look at their schedule, especially since Setanta tends to make late changes.
Does anyone know of an alternate source for Setanta listings? (and I'm not talking about sites like soccertv.com, which are largely dependent on the listings themselves to present the correct, up-to-date programming). I get my programming from Globecast, so there is no system-supplied programming listings.

It should be up and running in a couple of weeks. Overall, the channel will be the same save for a couple of extra EPL matches that we'll see instead of those in the US...

If you go in through www.setanta.com and select 'North America', the page that comes up (http://na.setanta.tv/na_index.htm) now includes a selection 'Canadian Schedule'. Right now, their new links are not yet connecting to the schedule database, so they temporarily put up a page each for both 'Setanta Sports Schedule' and 'Canadian Schedule' that shows live events on each channel through November.
While the current page does not show this, the Canadian 'Setanta Sports International Pak' will have the rights to twice the EPL games than in the US on a match weekend (8 versus 4). The other major difference is that the Canadian schedule does NOT currently have rights to the UEFA Champions League....they will have to negotiate with TSN if they plan to add any.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Canadian sked. I hadn't realized that it was there!
As for the CL, word from Setanta is that they are still in negotiations with TSN (apparently TSN hasthe exclusive territorial rights for the CL in Canada) and that they don't forsee a problem, seeing as TSN shows 1 live and 1 tape-delayed match per Tuesday and Wednesday. I feel that the Canadian CL set-up will be similar to the one in the US - TSN will have the first choice match via ESPN and Setanta will have the 2nd choice match. The same would apply for the 3rd and 4th choice matches. We'll see - I am feeling positive about it...
