Well, I think we are all well aware that digital cable and satellite costs money.

The main difference is that the 15h00 BST Saturday kick-offs are not shown live in the UK.

They pay to watch matches?

You would think they havea couple of matches broadcasting nationally on some of the big networks..

Is anything on BBC anymore? Maybe England internationals?

ITV has England's home WCQs, the FA Cup, and Champions League. They also have highlights of England games televised by Setanta (all the others) and the other two competitions.

Sky and Setanta hold exclusive live rights to everything else (although the BBC continues to have MOTD for the Premier League).

ITV/BBC had the rights to the Euros as Setanta Sports here alternated between the BBC and ITV feed of live games and there highlight show I enjoyed the BBC coverage better I wish Setanta just stuck with that

BBC has the rights to Saturday Premier league highlights until midnight UK time on Saturday, which is why you never see EPL action on the Saturday evening run of Sky Sports News - just a bunch of coach-speak:(

What is this show, "also"? is it a post-match analysis show?

When I lived in England Sky Sports had a program called football first on a saturday evening, you could watch the whole of a 3pm featured game then they turned on an interactive option and you could pick whatever you wanted to watch.

I imagine it's still going, it was very popular
