Unfortunately, yes

I emailed them to complain about the lack of NRL coverage and they replied with an apology that they had no control over NFL rights. I would cancel, but it seems very difficult.

I will be calling to cancel if they dont reply shortly...

Have the day off, and no NRL to start a long weekend!

and next time someone posts something that is general in nature, dont assume its meant just for you.

i thought fans on here would be interested in how much RL is on TV here.

That Australia is the greatest country in the world, that it is the home of rugby league talent and rugby league TV coverage, and that English rugby league fans are a pathetically underprivileged bunch who should be envious of Australians.

Oh yes, and in case you didn't know, Lyon is now in the south of France.

i miss parisstout.

he used to post some of the most amusing stuff on another forum. funny thing was people actually thought he was serious.

Greatest Country in the World?

Hmmm, raped and pillaged the indigenous people, sold them into alcoholism, gave the world Fosters, Neighbours and Steve Irwin.... nah, I don't think you're even in the top 10 "mate".

whats neighbours?

didnt that show stop 10 years ago?

The only way to stop subscribing to Setanta is to cancel your direct debit - they will never answer the phone on their cancel line.

I cancelled my DD after several aborted attempts at cacelling via the phone. Two days later I got a call from Setanta asking why - in the end I got my subscription for £6.95 a month - which is about fair for what I watch on their channels

Oh yes it is full of numptys like Dally - hardly a recommendation

Think I'll avoid the bitchfest and go back to the matter in hand.

If you can't watch it then listen on 2GB.com, or Triple M

I dont think the people that did that were called 'Australians' at the time...

The irony of an englishman telling an Australian about what 'they' did to aboriginies.

The irony of an Australian criticising the way the British treated the Aboriginals.

the british stole their nation from them.

and the australians gave it back

we never stole it was my point.

i mean taking their nation away to make it a penal colony.

thats really benevolent.

If i broke into your house and took your television and your wife's jewellery, then proceeded to give it the tv to my son and the jewellery to my niece, would you expect them to give the stolen items back once i'd been caught?

Was stealing aboriginal babies an act of benevolance by the australian govermant?

Do not do this! My mate did it with Virgin media when he had a nightmare trying to cancel it. They just tot up the DD onto a bill and keep sending you the service.

children children please lets not bitch about history! the thread is about the lack of coverage of NRL to people in the UK.

who stole what or did what within the last 200 years is rather irrelevant since the game is only 114 years old! (at last count)

besides the irony is that the british government was very generous to its deported subjects we sent you out there with 40 pounds to start your new life. 20 attached to each leg.

stop the crap start emailng a substandard fleecing tv channel

yeah i had a few other historical stuff but it will just get binned this thread.

I wouldn't touch setanta. Remember not too long ago when they promised to make Sky pay top dollar for rugby league? Well they didn't try very hard and we got ripped off by Sky yet again.

tbf RL got a very good TV deal last time from sky

ofcourse let us not forget that shatanta were on watchdog not so long ago for having poor to no reception for sky subscribers due apparently to the fact that they are using a different satelite to sky's astra so its hard to pick it up.

why don't people just moan to watchdog again about being fleeced, any company promoted by des lynham selling burgers has to be avoided really.

But that isn't Setanta's fault nor responsibility - if your dish is mis-aligned, it's your fault!
