Setanta
Setanta hasn’t died yet, which could be good, or bad, news for some sports fans, depending on which you look at it.
On the one hand, Sky could do with some competition.
On the other, the debacle over the highlights was farcical, splitting matches half-and-half with ITV is bizarre, and broadcasting a subscription channel which is noticeably over-compressed and yet completely unencrypted (yes, that’s an MHEG overlay you see before you) is downright reckless.
While it was a nice idea, it might perhaps be better executed by a company who can organise a little beyond a piss-up in a dance-hall.
