"Over the last five years Setanta Sports has been transforming the sports broadcasting market in Ireland with new services and great content. Arising from the recent developments at our UK business, we are now re-structuring our Irish business to ensure that we continue to bring you the best value in sports programming. This letter explains these new developments to you.
Firstly we would like to advise you that your subscription price is changing. We’re making it cheaper! From 1st August 2009 your Setanta Sports pack will cost just €16.99 per month. That’s a saving of €60.00 per year. A great price to enjoy great content such as Exclusively Live Barclays Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Magners League Rugby, Allianz National Football and Hurling Leagues, Formula 1 and much more domestic and international sport.
Your price will change automatically on this date so there is no need to contact us. All customers availing of previous special offers will have the pricing honored.
We have also simplified our channel line-up to keep all our best content on Setanta Ireland and Setanta Sports 1.
We are also writing to advise that your subscription contract which is currently with Setanta Sport S.a.r.l is being transferred to Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l and Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l will collect payments due with effect from 23rd June 2009. Neither Setanta Sports S.a.r.l, nor the Administrators of Setanta Sports S.a.r.l accept any ongoing obligation to you under the terms of your subscription contract. These will be fulfilled by Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l. Should you not wish to continue to receive the Setanta Sports service please contact us at the contact number above and we will arrange to cancel your subscription prior to your next payment date without penalty. Otherwise, if you continue to take the service it will be on the basis that you have agreed to the transfer of your contract to Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l. A copy of your new Terms and Conditions with Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l is on the reverse of this letter.
Finally we want to advise you that your personal data collected as part of your subscription to Setanta Sports has been transferred from Setanta Sport S.a.r.l to Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l. Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l will only use your personal data for the same purposes for which it was originally provided to Setanta Sport S.a.r.l and Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l will be the data controller under Data Protection legislation. Should you have any questions about the storage or use of your personal data please contact us at the above telephone number.
We would like to thank you for your continuing custom.
Yours sincerely, Richard Sweeney
Setanta Sports Hibernia S.a.r.l. "
No number attached to cancel. Neither is there one here [broken link removed]
€16.99 for two "simplified" channels is a rip-off.
Does any one when ESPN is going live in Ireland and how much it costs? I see its £12 in the UK as a standalone so I'm thinking €18 here. Not on Sky Ireland's website.
I am watching Setanta through Eircom from now on.
