    As you may or may not know, since the YES Network stopped showing MUTV programming, you could catch some of the MUTV programming on Setanta's Pub Channel in your local bar. Latest developments indicate that Setanta is developing a Setanta Residential Channel (that will carry the same programming as the Pub Channel, plus more) that will probably cost around 10/12 dollars a month and available on DirecTV. It's rumoured to be launching near the end of April.

    Here's the thread for more details: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161693&page=1&pp=20

    The loss of MUTV programming on YES is only slightly (and I mean slightly) made up for the fact that I now get GOL TV on DirecTV.

    Yeah, the month I finally got DirecTV was the first month after they dropped the MUTV programming.... :mad:

    I'm looking forward to getting Setanta channel as it'll have some other sports (Gaelic football is cool) and maybe even some CL games in addition to the MUTV stuff....

    On the upside, though, FSW changed to FSC not to long ago...a positive move!

    I think you'll like having DirecTV as a soccer fan.

    Considering switching from Dish Network to DirecTV now that they have GolTV and hopefully Setanta. I'll have to look into other programming as well, and what kind of content Setanta will really have.

    I have digital cable and I might have to switch over. I just wish we could get the MUTV channel stateside.

    Damn I just got a new HD receiver from Dish Network (leased though, so I could still switch).

    "$11.99/month for residential customers"

    That's a pretty good chunk of change. I'll have to think it over, but thanks for the info.

    MUTV (the real channel in the UK) carries repeats of matches very soon after the game has finished for most competitions. I'm not sure if Setanta will carry any of the Reserve matches or not, but I think they will show repeats of the most recent premiership matches like FSC does....

    That show on Best was, well, the best. I had never seen anything other than a clip or two on GB. It was amazing. There were also some excellent highlights of others. Think it was Charlton and Law, maybe. It was great last night was well worth the $12.

    Oh yeah. Bestie was the greatest. That clip of him playing for the San Jose Earthquakes where he dribbled past 5 guys and fired it in.... I was there. :cool: I'll have to find some pics of me and him together when I was 9/10 years old. I'll have to dig out some of my videotapes of him as well... he was awesome to watch.
