Reds To Launch New Tv Channel On Setanta

[Dub13]

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N156233070711-0734.htm


Liverpool Football Club will launch its very own dedicated television channel - LFC TV - in September after signing a major three-year deal with Setanta Sports. LFC TV will be carried at no extra charge as part of the Setanta Sports Pack, a nine-channel offering, available on satellite.

LFC TV will be included at no extra cost - the recently reduced price of £9.99 a month applies to the full Setanta Sports Pack, and there is no annual contract.

The channel will also be broadcast live on www.liverpoolfc.tv as part of e-Season Ticket, the official website's premium content service.

Although LFC TV will not be available as a stand-alone channel on Freeview, fans with a Freeview subscription to Setanta will be able to watch some of the top action on Setanta Sports 1, including LFC TV-branded Champions League and Premier League matches. LFC TV will also be available on cable via Virgin Media as part of the Setanta Sports Pack – further details to be released shortly.

For the first time in the club's 115-year history, supporters will now be able to enjoy every minute of every Premiership and Champions League game from the comfort of their own homes.

And fans who subscribe to LFC TV won't miss a thing - whether it's exclusive footage of the latest star signing or the very latest news from the club's Melwood training complex.

With LFC TV positioned right at the heart of the club, the channel's flagship news programme 'LFC Now' will have every angle covered – including exclusive interviews with the manager, former stars and, of course, the current players themselves.

With LFC TV planning to broadcast selected Reserve team games live, fans will also be given a unique opportunity to cast an eye over the emerging talent knocking on the first team dressing room door.

And for a glimpse of the future, we'll report from the club's state-of-the-art Academy on the youngsters hoping to lift trophies for the Reds after the current crop of stars have hung up their boots.

While the club's future success is paramount, LFC TV will also cast a respectful eye on the dramas and triumphs of days gone by, the bedrock on which the Anfield success story has been built.

Many of the players who brought so much joy to fans on the way to earning legendary status at the club will be regular visitors to the LFC TV studios. The expert views of former heroes – trophy winners all – will form the backbone of the channel's innovative 'This is Anfield' show – a live, interactive football forum where the big issues are debated.

And it won't just be the professional pundits who have their say - 'This is Anfield' will provide a platform for the fans to have their say. It's the perfect opportunity for supporters to put forward their views and demonstrate why Liverpool followers are rightly considered by many to be the most passionate and knowledgeable in the world.

Perhaps most importantly of all, LFC TV will demonstrate just why the club's supporters remain so passionate. It's about being part of Liverpool Football Club, a world famous footballing institution with a history that has charted 115 years of triumph and trophies.

With five European Cups, seven FA Cups and a record 18 League Championships collected since the club was founded by John Houlding on March 15 1892, there's certainly plenty to talk about.

What's On LFC TV and When


All Liverpool FC matches in the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League (not live)

At least six hours of original programming content per day, five days a week, fifty two weeks per year

Daily news round-up with all the latest from Anfield and Melwood

Exclusive interviews with the manager, coaching staff and current players

Classic matches from Liverpool's illustrious past

No less than 50% of all friendlies involving the Liverpool football team on a live and exclusive basis

Live studio discussions with former Liverpool stars, supporters, celebrity fans and football experts


The channel will raid the extensive Premier League archive, replaying some of the greatest games since the competition came into being in 1992 – that's 15 seasons of Reds action and no fewer than 285 victories to choose from. We'll also be sharing some of the greatest wins with the stars who made them possible so look out for some big, big names joining us on the LFC TV sofas.

Liverpool Football Club has never just been about the Premiership however and we'll be delving into the more distant past with some of the trophy-lifting triumphs of the Seventies and Eighties. LFC TV will revisit the glory years alongside the guys who were there at the sharp end.

If its news you're after, 'LFC Now' will be available twice a night, with bulletins repeated throughout the day - ensuring viewers never miss the latest developments.

Liverpool's weekend matches will be transmitted in the first instance at midnight on Sunday, then repeated throughout the next day and at regular intervals during the following week. Midweek games will be available from midnight the same night – and again repeated over the next few days at varying times allowing fans to watch matches at their leisure and, most importantly, at a time it suits them.

Our match previews will be extensive, with the latest word from Melwood on team selection and injury news as well as exclusive pre-match interviews with the manager and his players and, of course, the low-down on the opposition.

And after the game, our post-match analysis will be all-encompassing with our resident experts casting a critical eye on the day's events alongside the views of the Liverpool camp at the game. And you can be sure that if the Man of the Match is wearing a red shirt - we'll be looking to speak to him.


LFC TV will be available at no extra cost as part of the Setanta Sports Pack. Setanta's exclusive live content includes:

Barclays Premier League (from August 2007)
Under the new FAPL rights contract, 138 games will be broadcast live with Setanta showing 46 of them.

[Dub13]

Looks like I will be getting the Setanta Sports Pack

[Rogie]

Agreed, although Setanta Golf has always had a certain appeal!!!! Well, maybe not.

[paddypower111]

yes yes yes its great:)

[paddypower111]

nice 1 setanta 4 that cause id say if it was sky we would have to pay a monthly fee.

[Fowler's God]

Think i'l be ordering NTL digital with the setanta sports packages

[dougal]

Excellent news, I have always had a sub to Setanta since they started NASN.

This is going to be very interesting.

[bmac]

Is Setanta 15 euro per month ya lads, can you order it directly through sky? I have sky with sports at the moment costing 54 euro per month... 70 per month seems a bit steep...

Like the idea of the NASN though, is that good? I watch all the yankie football on Sky so NASN might add some more hours :)

[Conor]

Is it me or is there a real feeling over the last 2-3 weeks that this club is really moving into a new era. I know a lot of progress has been made in the playing staff unfer Rafa but I just feel that the club has just been booted into the 21st century in the last few weeks. And I must say. I really like what I am seeing from the club.

[SUPERFAN]

hopefully the TO have been Booted in to the 21`st Century......
if any part of the Club needs a good Boot it's them.

[Dub13]

I agree the Yanks are moving us forward at a very quick rate,expect some prices to go up in the future but if we are getting better services I will not mind.

I was just thinking this the other day after they bought Torres

Spending a huge amount on one player always seemed to me to be something that OTHER teams did

And having a TV channel has always seemed to me to be something that OTHER teams do

Not anymore!

It's certainly progress, but I'm not going to be subscribing to the channel, I can't see the value in it unless they show all the games live...

[GaryMc]

I heard on the grapevine that if you subscribe to NTL Digitals basic package, you can then get a special decoder (300 euro and not strictly legal) that unblocks all channels. Movies, Sky Sports, All Setanta, Music and even some Adult entertainment:p

i have just got the basic package at the mo and was waiting till August to subscribe to sly sports, however 300 sounds cheap to me for everything

[Alex Raisbeck]

Best news Ive had all week

[BornaRedLass]

Is Setanta 15 euro per month ya lads, can you order it directly through sky? I have sky with sports at the moment costing 54 euro per month... 70 per month seems a bit steep...


I was undecided about whether to get the Setanta package this season or not, so many matches this season but seamed a bit on the expensive side but will defo go for it with the LFC channel. Cant wait for the new station its well overdue :D

[sean]

Great news, looks like I'm going to be including a few euro extra a month in my budget signing up for Setanta Sports pack

[Garrett]

Hi

Yea, this is indeed great, long over due & a great result for Setanta - nice to see an Irish company doing so well, though wish they'd lower their prices via Sky TV dish subscriptions .. far too high, in comparions to NTL etc.

Here's the pricing for info btw: http://84.51.233.73/forums/showthread.php?t=201

They are doing well but not out of the water yet if what i read is true,they have dropped the price for UK customers recently due to lack of subscription's. They need a massive uptake in subs if they are to survive. Could be one reason why the LFC channel is going to be free.

Hi mate

No doubt they are carrying forward some heavy losses, given the amount they must be spending to buy in the rights to the likes of Premiership games, F1 etc etc .... however, equally, look at the dosh Sky would have spent in the early years too :)

I reckon the price drop is a good move, to help them quickly achieve a larger subscriber base & in turn, critical mass / break even point ... once you've got them signed up, you can slip in the annual increases just as Sky do, try and flog them extra stuff etc etc.

As for LFCtv being free - betya thats also just to wet all our appetitites, no doubt they will be getting some dosh from Setanta, who will be giving them a slice of the monthly payment they collect .. in return, Setanta can draw in lots of LFC fans as new customers, have a great new name to latch onto for advertising purposes etc etc.

Now, any chance of Setanta dropping their prices in Ireland too ? ;)

[Dub13]

I agree they must have some big big backers to ever try to mussel in on Sky fair play to the for what they have done so far.As for a price drop in Ireland I cant see it happening as we are getting a bit more then those in the UK such as Sat afternoon live football.

On a side note,I caught the tail end of an ad on the radio today. Buy some product and get 2 months of Setanta free. I don't know what the product was

[Garrett]

And didn't you phone up the radio station to find out ? ... your useless mate, just useless ;) :D :D :D



More seriously, perhaps we should all keep an ear out, 2 months freebie would be OK :)

Thanks

[Dub13]

I did a bit of research (phoned a few mates :) )The offer is on a two pack of adidas mens or womans deodorant- In dunnes,sounds a bit strange if you ask me but thats what I have been told by 2/3 people.Its certainly something to look into.

Apparently you have to text the barcode to a text number and they'll call you back- it's 2 months free sub when you pay for 1.The offer ends 24/25 July.

Sounds good, must check it out (wonder if you can specify which 2 months you want free ? ;))

thanks

[Alex Raisbeck]

I have it in already, will I qualify?
Few pre seasies on already. Something to keep me going on sh*tty summers days like today.
Even if it is only crappy boro or bolton friendlys.

[FinnanNo3]

Looks like ill be purchasing some Adidas smellies.

[Westlake]

Wait.

Every single League game? Yes!

[Alex Raisbeck]

Delayed coverage of all games, no live prem games on our channel yet though.

[Cully]

Cracking news :)

Hi all,first time here,an Irish Pool fans community woohoo :)

[Garrett]

Hi Cully

You'r very welcome :) .... mind you, I think you'll find you've some competition for that avatar (check out Pam's ;))

[tosullivan]

any idea the cost of this if you have sky satellite?

[bmac]

15 euro per month

[dougal]

15 euro per month

I think I pay 18 euro a month on sky. I see they have reduced the price in the UK to 9.99 a month but I cant see if they have done it for here.

[Garrett]

Hi Dougal

Your quite right, they very kindly gave the discount to UK residents, but not Irish ... charming, particularly from an Irish company don't you think !

[Dub13]

Your quite right, they very kindly gave the discount to UK residents, but not Irish ... charming, particularly from an Irish company don't you think !


Its not as simple as that,we receive a lot more than the UK resident such as Saturday afternoon Premiership action and a bit of Irish Sport.This has to be paid by someone,so its my opinion that this is one time I as an Irish customer don't mind paying a small bit more than those in the UK.

[Garrett]

Are you sure they ain't getting some extras we are not too mate ?

[Dub13]

Are you sure they ain't getting some extras we are not too mate ?


I am not sure to be honest and will try to find out but one thing for sure if they are getting stuff us Irish viewers are not getting one thing I am sure of is that it cant be as expensive as Live Premiership games on a Saturday.

[Dub13]

I got this deodorant today in Dunne's sent of the text,I am just waiting on someone to ring me back.I am going to try and get Aug/Setp and Oct.

[keithno1faneire]

Setanta Sports is an absolute joke................... registered on line at lunch time.

They told me it would be switched on between 15mins - 1hour and its now near KO.

Ive been ringing there customer care line since 6 and havent spoke to anyone, just keep cuttin me off while waiting.

GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[phil]

I was going to cancel my setanta sub this year, not a hope of that now. On the topic of U.K. setanta, they get the G.A.A. games that TG4 show over here.

[Dub13]

On a side note,does anybody know how much ScumTV is...?or Celtic TV...?

[bmac]

I think Celtic TV comes free with Setanta?

On another side note, were people with Setanta on Chorus able to see the game last night. Called to a mates house but he didn't have the game even though he had Setanta.

Do you need to have sky to get the full sports package?

[Alex Raisbeck]

When is the channel swittching on, September isnt it, beginning middle end?

bmac, your mate will need to sign up for the Setanta Premium pack, I got it with ntl for €10 a month, I presume its the same with chorus. I've ended up with Setanta 1 & 2, Setanta Golf, Celtic TV, Rangers TV, NASN, Racing UK and Chelski TV. I'm sure I'll find the Auxerre game somewhere amongst that lot ;)

[GerryS]

It gets better,anyone on the XL virgin TV package will recieve the Setanta sports for FREE,from the 26th of july

Reminder

This Promotion Ends in the next couple of days !!!

[Dub13]

I sent of my my text a few days ago,I am still waiting for them to ring me back.

[Dub13]

I belive everybody who texted will be contacted by a setanta rep by the end of this week.

[Garrett]

Hi mate

Thanks for that, I also sent off the text, got no reply just an automated text message back saying we'll be in touch .... sent it a second time when got no reply in 24-48 hours and got the same "well be in touch" message, so fingers crossed. It's a good offer, if it works so thanks :)

Setanta to Launch Sports News Channel

Setanta is to launch a sports news channel on the Virgin Media cable platform in the latest challenge to BSkyB’s supremacy in pay-TV programming.

More Here (http://www.sportsjournalists.co.uk/blog/?p=745)

[Garrett]

Hummm,
Setanta really are having a go and fair play to them .... I only wish:

- they would give me my 2 months free, given I went out and bought the cans of spray ... still sitting by the phone waiting for their call ;)

- they would drop their prices a bit, subscription via Satellite TV is far too expensive imho ... and they are giving their services away significantly cheaper just about every other way !

[Dub13]

I just saw this on another forum....

Setanta rep just called me. He just needed my sky viewing card number and said free trial will run from Wednesday 1st August to 1st October.
No need to cancel as feed will be cut on last day of trial. They are sending a letter with details of how to continue the subscription if I so wish.
He said there was a good response to the promotion and would be spending the next few days contacting all those who responded for their viewing card numbers.

[Dub13]

So if you are out of the house wright down your sky viewing card number and carry it with you,just to save having any delays.

[Garrett]

Hi Mate

Thanks for this, I got the call also and am sorted for the 2 months frew viewing ... thanks for the heads up on the promotion for the freebie :)

[Dub13]

No prob,now here is hoping I get my call.....:(

[Garrett]

Huh

I thought you said above you already did get the call ?

We only got the call on Friday btw, so perhaps they are working their way through the list of people who entered for this... perahps from the last entries backwards or something ?

[Dub13]

No I did not get the call yet I got the text but no call yet,when I was posting about getting a call above it was taken from another forum.

[Dub13]

I got my call from them about 20min after my last post....maybe they read irishkop.com...:)

[Garrett]

Maybe we should ask them to put a link to us, on the Setanta Website ? ;)

[Berns]

Signed up for setanta up here in the north on freeview once seen about the LFC TV, didnt read the small print though :( So ordered the box (aint the best) and now got 2 months of setanta 1 & no others for £9.99 but aint direct debit so think will just go with the 2 months. Think its bit unfair that freeview gets one channel while others on sky & cable get the whole package for £9.99 :( (give freeview all pls :P )

[JOE]

If only i had seen this thread a couple of weeks ago...i signed up for setanta a couple of weeks ago for all the friendlies...it's not too bad @18 euros per month on sky when you think about it...it's basically double the price of last years prem plus ticket, but you get alot more with setanta...

[marko]

Did the same myself,couldnt wait for the promotion wanted to watch the friendlies.Can't believe how much football i have now between Sky and Setanta,pre-season matches are making up for the summer break with only a week and a bit to the villa match.:)

[JOE]

I wonder whether we will get all the reserve matches on lfctv...

[YNWA]

Yeah what exactly will the new channel be showing do we know?

[Garrett]

Hi

Just had a quick look, no mention of it on Setanta as yet:
http://ie.setanta.tv/iepack.htm

Given Celtic, Rangers etc all have their own section on Setanta's website and show their TV listings, I'd expect LFC's tv channel to do the same.

[Dub13]

I bet its going to be late September when the LFC channel starts....!!!

By the way has anybody checked to see if we all have Setanta free yet seems as its now Aug 1st.

[Garrett]

Hi mate

My Setanta free period does not appear to have commenced yet, funny could have sworn it was from 1st Aug'07 ? ... same with yours ?


Here's a bit of info on LFC.tv about LFCtv ;)
http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/tv/lfctv_subscribe.htm?ref=est391&lfcprmid=24786752

[Dub13]

I still haven't been switched on yet,I don't mind once its on by the end of the month and I still get 3 months.

[JOE]

I think they will delay the start of the three month subscription until after the first couple of games, as they'll want as many as possible to sign straight up on the full package, and are using games like Saturdays to entice liverpool fans...

Hi

Nothing personal, but I hope your wrong mate .... given Im on the freebie list ;)

Im sure they told us they would switch us on from the 1st Aug'07. I think they left us with a referance number or something, must dig it out and follow up with them.

[JOE]

If all else fails, you can sign up to eircom.net's free setanta online if you have a package with them...

[Garrett]

Right

I've double checked, that free Setanta Sports deal was from either 1st or 2nd of Aug, for 2 months ... they were to phone us up half way through to see if we wanted to keep it or not.

I'm going to give them a call if it does not turn on today, wanna see the LFC game coming up ;)

[Dub13]

Let us now how you you get on.

[liverbird!!]

I signed up last week at €18.00 per month (Expensive) but amust!!

Asked lad about liverpool channel and he told me that it may not happen for a while yet.

[Dub13]

I checked a few min ago and it looks like my free setanta is now working.

[Garrett]

Glad for you mate ...

I'm still waiting and seriously gettiing ticked off by the phone people at Setanta along the way !

Did you find someone to complain to & if so, can I've details please ?

[JOE]

More info on LFCTV... CLICKY (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2007/07/11/reds-in-setanta-tv-deal-100252-19438898/)

[Dub13]

Did you find someone to complain to & if so, can I've details please ?


No it just came on.

[Garrett]

They are now officially ticking me off @ Setanta

Several phone calls made, messages left for their marketing manager who has not even had the decency to return the call as yet .... I'm not impressed & it certainly does not reflect well on their customer services (regardless of the specifics, such as me being an initial free loader, I was also a very likely customer for them !)


Anyone else in the same position as myself - here's the contact details for Setanta, give 'em hell:




Setanta Sports Dublin
George’s Quay House
43 Townsend Street
Dublin 2,
Ireland
Email:
setanta.irl@setanta.com
customerservices@setanta.com

Phone: (01)4748000

[Dub13]

Any luck yet...?

[Garrett]

Nope

Although at least Im finally getting a level of contact from one of their people, irregular as it may be &

... only after I had threatened to tell everyone about their poor service :(

Fingers crossed they might even sort me out and give me a little extra free period as an apology or something.

A friend of mind bought a digi box for 250 euro gets all the chanells sky sports sky movies setatnata sports 1,2 and when lfc lauch there chanell the box will pick it up not bad the box is legal but the software is illegal woundering does any one know what can happen if he is caught with the box? thanks

[Yoko]

D-Box?

[homer1]

Ordered it as soon as the LFC TV details came through but got the hump when I could only receive on one TV (I have sky+) and after holding on for nearly an hour and getting no joy I told them to cancel it as I it never said anywhere that it couldn't be received on both sets

Had to crawl back tail between my legs and re-order it yesterday though due to today's game ....... had to pay a Eur10 connection fee this time around too so probably serves me right for being stubborn :D

I doubt that there is legislation to cover this type of scenario...once the box is above board, you won't have people like sky breathing down your neck...just make sure that you pay your tv licence, and therefore there is no wat anyone could know...that's unless you go and tell them...:D

[YNWA]

I've got one of the boxes, im not sure if i'll get the new channel, it think if i reset the box when the channel comes out it might pick it up!

[JOE]

You should be able to get the code on a tv forum soon enough...

[YNWA]

You should be able to get the code on a tv forum soon enough...

Code?

[keithno1faneire]

Mate works for NTL and he said they are aware of boxes out there that are getting free TV as such. They are constantly upgrading there software to stop this so its only a matter of time before this box stops working.

True, but as things stand its only a one way signal with NTL, so unless they actually come into your sitting room and physically remove the signal in some shape or form, there's no way of actually stopping this in the short term - will be at least 3 years before the system has been upgraded to the levels needed to stop these boxes working, by which time some reveller will no doubt have come up with another invention to sap up free subscription tv.

I think I should add that I'm a fully subscribed member of NTL and am in no way promoting or condoning the use of these boxes :D

Yes, but they can change how they transmit the channel so the pre programmed box cannot pick it up.

Im no expert on this and speakin to me mate who is as dodgy as anyone when it comes to scams.........he says its not worth it in the long run.

[StevieGisMyIdol]

To be honest i dont really know why youse are all actually using setanta and not sky.Ok they might have the Celtic channel and the to-be Liverpool channel but you are not getting as many LIVE games not this delayed coverage thing which is the exact same as watching "The Premiership" on RTE2 or "Match Of The Day" on BBC.Fair enough if your getting free months but i worked it out and Setanta are showing/ed:1,Villa.2,Blackburn.3,Fulham. Thats it until November 10th whereas Sky are showing/ed:1,Chelsea.2,Sunderland.3,Portmouth.4,Everton.5, Arsenal.6,Newcastle up until November 24th.As you can see sky are showing double the amount of games as setanta,plus are showing big games like chelsea,everton,and arsenal.
So if you really want to fork out another 18e a month just to see 3 extra game(Villa,Blackburn and Fulham) and get to see the Reserves and watch delayed coverage(Or watch Match of the day) then good luck!!And as the previous few posts say,theyr a bloody shower aswell!!

Think setanta are showing 3 live liverpool games in september alone,
so far seems good value with no contract even if the coverage is not as good as sky but i have them too:D

To be honest i dont really know why youse are all actually using setanta and not sky.Ok they might have the Celtic channel and the to-be Liverpool channel but you are not getting as many LIVE games not this delayed coverage thing which is the exact same as watching "The Premiership" on RTE2 or "Match Of The Day" on BBC.Fair enough if your getting free months but i worked it out and Setanta are showing/ed:1,Villa.2,Blackburn.3,Fulham. Thats it until November 10th whereas Sky are showing/ed:1,Chelsea.2,Sunderland.3,Portmouth.4,Everton.5, Arsenal.6,Newcastle up until November 24th.As you can see sky are showing double the amount of games as setanta,plus are showing big games like chelsea,everton,and arsenal.
So if you really want to fork out another 18e a month just to see 3 extra game(Villa,Blackburn and Fulham) and get to see the Reserves and watch delayed coverage(Or watch Match of the day) then good luck!!And as the previous few posts say,theyr a bloody shower aswell!!

All is well when you have both:), and in total it's nine Liverpool games. The main reason I have chosen to get the Setanta package, is because i want to follow the Liverpool reserves, plus there's the extra premiership games, coupled with a host of matches from Serie a, the scottish prem and the bundesliga. Plus I love watching the Grand Prix, so it's entertainment all round...

they're also showing Derby,Birmingham at home and Wigan away.
they had the Toulouse Game and they're bound to have a few of the CL Games involving Lpool this Season(provided they get there of course;))

Ordered it as soon as the LFC TV details came through but got the hump when I could only receive on one TV (I have sky+) and after holding on for nearly an hour and getting no joy I told them to cancel it as I it never said anywhere that it couldn't be received on both sets

Had to crawl back tail between my legs and re-order it yesterday though due to today's game ....... had to pay a Eur10 connection fee this time around too so probably serves me right for being stubborn :D

its an extra €5 for every other tv that you want it on

I was told on the phone £5 per extra room and I argued it didn;t say that anywhere on the website (which I'm sure it didn't) but it mattered not :(

Anyway, the deed is done now so no point going on about it

Just don't let Setanta or Sky push you too far lads

Sure we all want the services, but at this stage the prices are getting seriously expensive and the two companies are starting to extract the michael a bit imho !
