I must admit to being pretty gutted when Setanta went bang. The NRL coverage was great but I ended up getting a real liking for the GAA sports.

I wonder if they are going to start showing the footy show. That would be superb.

And SOO too.

Setanta seemed to always go with the Queensland televised match which would be Gold Coast v St George. I'd prefer the NSW game (Wests v Canterbury) to see how Mark Flanagan is getting on though.

They're showing the Knights game I think.

Thats Saturday, we are on about Friday.

Ah, apologies.

AFAIK,,It*s a choice between Titans v Dragons,,1st v 3rd,,,Or Wests v Bulldogs...

I'll stick with watching all 8 games on Aussie Sport TV

No, 433 is just the channel number Sky assign it, i need the actual frequency that its beamed out on for my box that Bilko has kindly provided eg 11488V

Most new channels beam out weeks/months before going on air and anyone with a Sky box can manually tune to these channels using the direct frequency.

Bilko,

Is this MSK a standalone channel ???
I've done a manual tune on 11.488v and got the following

MSK (Sid 54066) blank screen
MSK Extra (SID 54067) blank screen
Setanta Ireland (SID 5406icon_cool.gif currently showing 'Top Gear'
Setanta Sports 1 (SID 54065) currently showing 'IPL Cricket'

bit confused now, was thinking MSK was something to do with a new Setanta?!?!?

The channel doesn't come on until 11pm tonight according to the listings. Would that be the problem?

Yep that seems like it, i thought Setanta had been renamed MSK therefore surprised to see all four channels there.... roll on Friday

It is I think. The two channels still baring the Setanta name are channels still broadcasting to the Republic of Ireland. The channel never ceased broacast to that country, only the UK.




It's been broadcasting every night from that time for months. They are extending especially for the NRL coverage from this Friday. They all seem to be showing Magners League Rugby Union. Not much else.

cheers, got my head around it now

Hope they go onto the vrigin network as some of dont have sky

i ve been watching nrl on bet365 site just sign up free and watch the live stream

Great to here the NRL back on the box, is the footy show being shown aswell

Also Broncos v Sharks live 4.55am Sunday.

Aye with repeats - [url=http://www.rugbyleagueontv.co.uk=#FF0000www.rugbyleagueontv.co.uk[/url

God I hope so!

Its a free channel so everyone with a satelitte dish should be able to get it. They are part of setanta and in fact the last time I switched this channel on (i dont have sky, just free satelitte) it was showing a testcard saying Setanta PPV.

So come the weekend we might have to pay for it.

I dont get why people like the footy show over here, not that popular in Aus anymore. It use to be good but now its just crap. I hardly watch it in Aus so i deffinately wont be watching here if they put it on.

Hmmm NRL Footy Show OR Boots N All?

I think I'd take NRL Footy Show anyday over Boots N All.

Hey im new to this site, Hi all, just letting everybody know that the new channel on Sky: MSK (Channel 433) is definatly showing selected NRL fixtures.

The first NRL match is live at 10:00am-12:30pm Friday Morning (16th April 2010) and is repeated also on Friday at 15:30pm-15:30pm and 19:00pm-21:00pm.

The second NRL match to be shown live has been confirmed as the Newcastle Knights v North Queensland Cowboys and will shown on Saturday Morning 08:25am-10:30am (17th April 2010) and and is also repeated on saturday at 15:30pm-17:30pm and 17:30pm-19:30pm (Unsure as to whether the 17:30pm showing is a repeat Fridays NRL Match)

MSK Extra (Sky Channel 437) also starts next Tuesday (20th April 2010) at the moment unsure as to also whether this Channel will be broadcasting Rugby League yet but will keep everybody posted.
