Yeah, that is rather ridiculous. I can see having a slight delay, such as with HDTV where it is a couple seconds. But, five minutes is ridiculous.

I would highly recommend Setanta, particularly with the new on demand feature.

It’s absurd! I distinctly remember the camera giving us a shot of the digital clock at Anfield which reflected the time of 15:45. (3:45) to unknowing Americans. I then looked at my cable box clock which reflected the time of 10:50 E.S.T.
The coverage was a full 5 minutes behind real time. Shocking!!!

Hey TT,

Most of the games that kickoff here at 10 am are even still roughly 45 seconds to a minute behind during the second half.

All I know is the Christmas season can't get here fast enough. Setanta via ITVN is going to be a great gift.

FSC: quickly becoming the number one channel for women’s college soccer. Amateurs! Setanta and GOL are the leading soccer channels in America.

This has been complained about for years. Maybe now that FSC has some competition in the market they will work to improve their production quality, which has been poor at best.
