Have i just signed a pact with the devil??..

I'm honestly scared ****less. Especially when I have to "write a letter" to end my subscription.

I guarentee if I wrote the letter, it would take months to be read and to be worked upon giving them another couple months fee's.

****ing pricks.

Atleast I get to watch the fights and NHL though. Should be ok...but seriously, it's so obvious the letter writing thing is a scam. If you really need it in writing...what about e-mail.

Robbing cunts.

the letter things is definitely a load of bollocks though, its not ****ing charles dickens times.... like you say we have email, phones etc

Duran, they'll want it direct debit from an account. It wont be on your mam's bill.

So a tenner a month will be coming outta your bank and it has nothing to do with your dads sky account. No hassle.

Tell your mum that, she won't mind if it's nowt to do with her.

I wanna get a freeview recorder and pay for setanta alongside that for my room so I can record some fights. We've got setanta but I wanna record fights as chances are I'll miss em.

Saw the Dawson v Johnson fight last night, it was close but the margin was shocking.

oh and its £9.99 yeah?

aye, every month.

The cunt wants a 15 quid connection charge though.

I mean, how difficult is it to flick a switch? They must think were stupid. :nonono:

Do what I did, get your pals to come round yours and tell em that you'll club together for it. Or say, get me some pints in and we'll call it evening. I mean...at the end of the day... you usually pay 25 quid of a PPV anyway.

Now then, I signed up and went to watch a bit of football but it wasn't on yet after 2 hours. So i called em up like they said, and they say they had no record of my account ever being processed.

I said the girl was dopey and they said they'd taken on extra staff for tonight and they were basically ****ing up. So they re-signed me up and knocked my connection charge off. I just saved 15 quid through complaining.

I think you should all complain if your signing up today. Beware of waiting an hour to phone em tho!

Good work, you watching United Blackburn?

I vaguely remember it taking a while to connect when I first got it.

mickeyb
04-19-2008, 02:58 PM
Still connecting. I'll watch the footy on there i'm sure. I'm more interested in the NHL and the Boxing to be honest. I do like a bit of ice hockey, loved it in America when they just showed it and went to a game over tehre too.

Mick you should keep it. Its expensive as **** but pretty much all Boxing and UFC is now on Setanta. Also a large amount of prem games are on there.

Or you could switch to Virgin where you get Setanta for free.

Yeah i'll probs keep it. 10 quid a month aint to bad i guess. It's just me being a tight arsed yorkshireman.

I went to a fight once, and a game of ice hockey broke out.

Sentantas the dogs bollocks for a tenner. Just think of all the fights we have had over the last 6 months. Granted the commentary and production is normally ****e, but its well worth a tenner.

****inell you see what i mean, just watching the post game coverage of United and they announced that Calzaghe is fighting for the WBA WBC & WBO light heavyweight championships.
