Yesterday had a full schedule of Prem action and there was no way to show all of it live. Going into last weekend he Spurs game would have been thought to be a Gunners blow out. Better for each network to focus on a Man U, a Liverpool game, or the Hull City/ Chelsea match up. so, the live coverage or lack thereof should not be subject to a lot of second guessing. <br><br>Chris, you may know more about how Setanta Broadband is set up but I would expect they even have to pre-select their games to a small extent and can not change up at the last minute even if there is a great game such as the one yesterday. The real issue for North American fans is that when their is mid-week action we may be tied up with work as I was and many of us were. So, due to location ad luck the best gme is often missed.

Good thing all the fireworks were in the 2nd half! Yeah I went to a pub but showed up at halftime due to the error in their schedule with regard to daylight savings time.

So for the second time in 3 days (I'm a spurs fan) I've joined the replay on Setanta Broadband 60+ minutes into the match, even though I tuned into the game at 7 p.m. – the time they said it would be shown! So I sent them a 2nd email ridiculing their bad service.

At least this Saturday's Spurs match is on FSC…

I didn't watch as my Pompey were live on Setanta, but it was live. If you subscribe to Setanta on DirecTv you automatically get Setanta Xtra, which almost always shows a live match on Saturday morning and again when their are several midweek matches.
