Setanta Sports on Optus B3?

Does anyone have this? Or know what it costs? Their website says;

OTHER SATELLITE customers

If you do not subscribe to Foxtel, you can subscribe to SETANTA SPORTS by purchasing your own satellite equipment and paying a monthly subscription. For more information call 1300 AAACOM (22 22 66). This service is available on the Optus B3 satellite.

Please note: this service is not available to customers in Austar areas.

From memory, $15pm. Better ring and check to be sure.

If i remember right there is some strange thing with setanta, despite them saying no deal with austar u can get it from austar for $6 a month, I do. I seem to recall that on foxy its a lot more and only on one box, ie u have to pay up for every box u want to watch it on, and also the service on B3 is more expensive than on fox/austar

I have it. It costs $14·95 per month. It is not more expensive than getting it through foxtel. There's more football on there than I could hope to watch, and beats an over-priced foxtel.

OK. Is it just one channel in Au? Seems like mainly football from looking at their website... I was hoping for more variety.

Also, what encryption do they use?

80% football, but a bit of hurling, rugby, cricket, boxing and gaelic football.

lyngsat.com lists the channel on D2 - and on Aus & NZ beam. I am in NZ I should see if I can get signal.

80% football

I recently cancelled SKY which was $85/month that I moslty watched sports on and was hoping to find another sports channel out there that would have good variety.

Changeover to D2 has already been done. Phone number is correct

Setanta will not sell a sub to New Zealand customers because they do not have the broadcast rights for NZ.
Only option would be to get a friend in aus to subscribe for you I guess.
Or a gamma?
