Almost every game out there is streamed somewhere. And they are repeated all week long. Find some streaming sites through google, invest some time and you will be sorted.

Sent Shaw an e-mail asking all the necessary questions about if / when Setanta would be offered ........ this is the response that I got

Thank you for choosing Shaw Eservice. We apologize for the delay in response as a result of higher than normal email volumes and thank you for your patience.

We appreciate your inquiry with regard to the recent changes in programming on the SportsNet channel. We wish to clarify, however, that Shaw does not play a part in which programs a network decides to air or not air.

Since we too have just come to learn of the change of programming on SportsNet with regards to Soccer, we are just beginning to review what options may be available to us, a process which is lengthy, as it is quite involved, with considerations on the technical side and the business side needing extensive consideration.

Should something come available that we can provide, we will let our customers know, but for now, we are not aware of any additional or new services being added at this time. We appreciate your interest in the Setanta Sports channel, please be assured that we have noted your request.

We hope this information has been useful to you. Please feel free to contact us by phone 604-629-8888 or by email response. If you need further assistance you may also visit our website at Shaw Communications Inc. — Digital Phone, Cable & High-Speed Internet.

Hi Guys,

I work for Shaw...good news...they're launching Setanta on Friday, August 10. If you have a digital box, you can get it on free preview until Sept.8 . After that, it's $14.99/month . It'll be on channel 154 in the Lower Mainland.

I sure to hell hope TSM is not TTP, as I for one wouldn't find that funny. If in fact true, that's awesome news!

It's ok...I'm not TTP...I actually work for Shaw and it was announced at work this morning.

As for the guy with Starchoice...Shaw owns that as well. I didn't hear anything about Setanta on Starchoice, but usually when we carry something on Shaw, it makes its way to Starchoice fairly quickly.

I've read elsewhere that this is a go.

Also just announced - Shaw is offering NHL Center Ice finally - $200 for the season and includes 200 games in HD.

Here's a release from Shaw that I would assume is referring to the new Setanta channel:

http://www.shawbroadcast.ca/docs/bulletins/2007_08_09_viewers_choice_16_e.pdf

They are removing a Viewer's Choice channel at 6:00AM Friday morning

Unless it is to make room for CGTV (Casino Gaming TV)...

Another reason to move from Delta... what's it gonna take to make you guys realize that Delta sucks.

I knew about Centre Ice, but hadn't realized we announced it publicly. It's sweet - 1000 games (except the Canucks) and 200 in HD. It's likely to be $200, but they haven't announced it yet.

thank you, I love you all

Has anyone checked their channel guide this morning? Does the channel show up on Shaw yet?

It is there on 154 with a message that the channel will be available shortly. No picture yet. It does have the listings on the guide, showing 3 games back to back tomorrow morning starting with Spurs Sunderland then Boltan Newcastle and the 3rd was ????

For the rugby fans out there it shows two live games from England today.

Good on Shaw.
