The image quality is good. I watched the France-Bosnia Game last night and it was GREAT. I Have no way of getting setanta any other way, So i am on cloud nine at the moment.

I am also an Arsenal Fan and realized that most of the Arsenal Games will be on Setanta EXTRA which is not available on ITVN.

This is a bit unfair since an ITVN subcriber is paying the same price as the direct TV subscriber but we are getting less games.

Gaffer can you ask Setanta about this issue.

Love your podcast..

I have been watching the channel for the past few hours, and I'm very impressed with ITVN. I'm streaming at 700k and the picture quality while not as good as my digital cable is roughly the equivelent of watching a vcr tape. I've had virtually no buffering at 700k. I was fairly doubtful that I would be satisfied with the service, but after watching the better part of two matches I'm completely sold. Best money I've ever spent.
