Great news, although not for the Freeview subscribers - yet again, they lose out.
But they're saying the Broadband service will be working this time so I'm personally delighted, BIG credit to Buncey for this one.

fantastic. with chris john v rocky juarez , its like we are getting 2 fights for the price of one. well done to all at setanta. it will be a great weekend of boxing. i dont think 45 minutes will be enough to preview it all in the buncey hour.
if setanta could get a few other fights during the year apart from the ones they have contracts for , we really could not ask anymore of them
if you want to watch live foreign boxing on tv on a regular basis you need to have setanta.

This is a fantastic weekend of boxing. A massive thank-you from a boxing obsessive to Setanta for getting the Houston card. You've made thousands of boxing fans truly happy. I (stupidly) jumped out my seat and punched the air when I read the news.
Like I said............boxing obsessive.

Cant wait for this one! Tops off a great wkend on sat! Hope Marquez can stop Diaz and doesn’t risk getting screwed over on points with him fighting in Diaz's hometown
I think setanta deserve our loyalty on sat for the German show, they have been pulling it out of the bag this last wk, lets makes sure they don’t lose out in the boxing ratings war this sat.

I'm still mightily fucked off by their constant technical fuck ups, the latest being the blue screen for the Pavlik fight.
I'll get excited once I actually see the f*cking fight - and not before!

If all the fights are going to be on setanta 2, and they've now lost half their football coverage as well - what's the point in subscribing to Setanta on freeview?
meh
I wish they would put the boxng on S1.

All problems from last week being looked at. The buyer at Setanta has done the business and everybody on every forum that cares made the difference - this was a massive victory for fans. I kept the pressure on and you all kept the pressure on me. Setanta is unique for its ability to listen and act. Trust me.
Adios.

That's fine Bunce, and fair play to you and Setanta for picking it up - and you taking the time to respond to peoples queries.
....but it means nothing to Setanta Free view subscribers (of which there must be a fair few) as S2 is a channel they can't pick up.
Just giving my opinion, not having a go at you.

Great point here, dont see anyone from the other lot coming on here and other forums actually listening to what we the fans say (and taking a lot of abuse for their time!) and actually trying (and suceeding) to getting the money men to give us fans what we want!
Well done all involved at Setanta :good:good:good:good:good:good
What a weekend for boxing!

Great news and a real result for loyal Setanta subscribers* Yet again Setanta have made good their promise to show top flight boxing. This is why I galdly pay my subscription every month for this top class service.
*However, those subscribers on freeview, who pay the same subcription fee every month, you can suck Setanta's hairy ball sack. You must be used to the taste now. It must be really starting to annoy you being constantly treated like a second-class Setanta customer.

Hi James.
Do you have anything to say to the thousands of freeview subscribers who are missing out on this one?
As far as I'm aware there's not even a repeat of this fight anywhere on Setanta Sports 1 schedule.
D-MAC
02-25-2009, 05:12 AM
There was a lot of boxing coverage pencilled in for this weekend, but I would have swapped it all for this one fight.
Plus we'll get John v Juarez as well.:D
Well done Setanta and Bunce.

yea can James from Setanta or Steve Bunce tell us whats going on with freeview? why isnt the channel switch being used again? Pre recorded french football? give me a break.......and if this is a standard practice from setanta WHY ARE YOU TELLING FREEVIEW SUBSCRIBERS THAT THEY CAN SEE ALL THE BEST BOXING WHEN ITS NOT TRUE?

You, Buncey, Kerminator. You are the governors. Setanta does listen to the fans and it is the home of boxing.

Great News, Thank you Setanta Sat night/ Sun morning booked in. YES
It seems a bullshit deal for these freeview subscribers.
It must be very frustrating, before I moved last year I couldn't get a proper reception on Setanta at all but still had to pay the next months fee's before I could cancel it was a real rip off; but the boxing woo'ed me back.
Then it took me two weeks to reconnect again! then suddenly after talking to all the different managers of the call centre or days they pushed a button and it was on...

Where has "James from Setanta" gone? He pops up, bigs it up, gets asked a tricky question or two and pisses off! Charming.
By the way the show on Thursday will be a monster. Trust me.

You have to bring up this Audley situation Bunce it's pure gold, he's acting like a spurned love who wants his revenge.

02-25-2009, 08:54 AM
apparently reason not on Setanta One ... and so not on Freeview ... is because Setanta One can only go on Freeview until 0500 ... so if the fight went past this then it would just cut off.
So it's either be pissed off watching ten rounds and then missing out on last two .... or pissed off by them not putting it on at all.
Setanta seem to think more people will be pissed off by the first option!!!!

That's a very, very lame excuse.
I can remember watching Calzaghe v Hopkins on freeview and they swithed the channel over at 3.00am I think to a freeview top up channel and showed the complete card. If they can do it once then they can do it for all the US staged events.
The bottom line here is that freeview subscribers pay the same as everybody else yet they get a substandard service. This is not fully explained and no discount is awarded.
silverman
02-25-2009, 09:10 AM
they say at the moment they only have limited amounts of times they can go past 0500 (was 0300 before) ... but are hoping to resolve this soon.
I'm a freeview viewer and spend most of my time complaining to them about this!

Spot on, last weekends boxing was a shambles. Seriously getting fucked off with Setanta now, and will be cancelling it as of March. Really let down again, whats the point of marketing Setanta Boxing on Freeview if all you get is tinpot German fights from 'the home of Boxing'. My arse.
pathmanc1986
02-25-2009, 11:58 AM
STEELTOWNCOBRA is correct BUNCE, its unfortunate for yourself that you must bear the brunt of the freeview issue as im sure its someone further up the food chain so to speak whose pulling the strings but seriously if it can be switched a few times it can again so dont use that excuse.
We all love your approach as opposed the non stiff neck sky two weeks later rounds missing. Yourself Andy are the most entertaining team there is but people cant be reasonably expected to pay for boxing they cant see?
COME ON STEVE SORT IT OUT BIG BOY WE KNOW YOU VALUE THE FANS AND YOU HAVE THE MUSCLE!!!!!!!
SteelTownCobra
02-25-2009, 12:06 PM
For the record, my tirade of abuse for the cause of freeview subscribers was aimed at Setanta Sports in general and not specifically at Steve Bunce, who I appreciate is just a sports presenter and has very little say in company financial policy.

I do feel Buncey takes a lot of shit here, I mean, do people bombard Jeff Randle when SKY fuck up?! Its the faceless MD's who need to come on these sites and tell us what we are paying our money for. Its simple really, if Setanta keep mucking about, they will lose £££, and with the fioty rights going, it spells disater.

Setanta f'kin Owns ... I dunno what we'll do if they go to the wall.
I subscribe through the broadband option because the way I view my TV (freeview type thing) doesn't have the option of Setanta. I just hook my laptop up to my TV and away I go.
Do the Freeview subscribers have access to the broadband and on-demand features online?
If not, why not?
