"These games are available in HD in the UK, why not here?"

The day a satellite or cable TV provider in the US dedicates limited and expensive HD bandwidth to a channel that relatively no one watches is a long long long long long way off.

Regarding the main post, Setanta really needs to get on cable. ITVN's shaky connection doesn't cut it for the non-directv subscriber.

Other than HD?

For me that is the main gripe by far… I (& millions of others) have shelled out big bux for the latest technology (1080p, because it’s better than 1080i!) & we can’t talk about getting our favorite sport in HD?? The World Cup spoiled me for picture quality. These games are available in HD in the UK, why not here?

James is spot on with his point about showing Sky’s pre-game and halftime segments during EPL matches.

Is Dempsey the fat bloke with the greasy hair and the sweater vests?

Is so, I recommend a makeover.

As for some other changes, when they're showing BBC or Sky feeds of games they should show the pregame and postgame and halftime commentary more often. They've done it occasionaly with Champions Lg and Coke matches, but they should do more of it.

Any way, you could e-mail this link to an Executive at Sentanta for comment?

Particularly interested in their comments on point 1.
