I had my credit card replaced that ITVN charged monthly, and couldn't be more pleased, especially after hearing about the double billing mess. ITVN had NO contact with us for approximately a month until the auto bill for March came due, and the bank denied the charge. ITVN then sent along an email (finally) stating that they had to suspend service to my box till I got caught up on the payment. They also went on to state that if I was intending on cancelling my service, that I would need to send back the equipment, or they'd take legal steps to retrieve it!!!!!!!!!!! The equipment was free to us as we'd met the requirements of having continuous service for a one year period-that was the agreement!!!!!!!! What a bunch of flakes! I kept the box out of spite, and have NO intention of sending it to them. I feel this, in some miniscule way, helps me feel better about all those months of sub-standard feeds we were getting-frozen video, crappy video even when it WAS working, and having to pay for that incredibly crappy service. Good riddance ITVN, you will not be missed. I have now subscribed to Setanta via broadband, and am somewhat happier-although the video quality still isn't up to snuff in my honest opinion. i agree with many that cable needs to pick up Setanta, and maybe as the sport of footie picks up over here, that will come to be. Fingers crossed it happens one day, but till then, I'm at least able to still see our matches.

They are tight. If they offered Comcast and the like more I am sure this wouldnt be an issue. I for one cant see why I get 4325426536 music channels instead of one premium channel.

ITVN again charged my account 14.95 twice on 3/28/08. This was after i emailed them in February to cancel my services. I had to call my credit card company again and contest these charges. They are going to reimburse me the charges. I just rceived my credit card bill in the mail today. ITVN again charged my account 14.95 twice on 3/28/08.

I don't understand how it hurts cable to add a premier pay channel to their 100s of HBOs, showtimes and cinemaxes.. That is the real question…when will Setanta be available on cable?
