Setanta Sports - Calzaghe Fight
 
So i've paid a subscription to Setanta Sports to watch this fight tonight with my mates and boof! "No satellite signal is being received", all the other sky digital channels are working but setanta doesn't... If it isn't working by 4am then setanta are giving me my money back.

Avenger 04-19-2008 03:08 PM

Should be okay.

I'll be watching through Virgin Media who aren't the most reliable either.

Your best bet is to put a phonecall in now to be sure that you will have reception tonight. Let them know the dealio early before you get disappointed.

CSL 04-19-2008 03:17 PM

Audley Harrison is on the undercard. Time for his 37th 'I can be a World champion' comeback

Kris P Lettus 04-19-2008 03:52 PM

Boxing??

Trust me, you won't get anything back. It's a subscription channel, not a PPV.

Team Sheep 04-19-2008 04:40 PM

Setanta don't do HD they're gay.

Rob 04-19-2008 04:58 PM

HD in Britain is gay. Don't see why we should have to pay more for it.

Team Sheep 04-19-2008 05:45 PM

My dad pays it. I don't complain! :D But yeah, the HD coverage here is pretty limited. An extra tenner a month and not many channels carry it. More and more will start to do so though.

Avenger 04-19-2008 05:45 PM

So whos all watching tonight?

Predictions?

Calzaghe wins this and hes the greatest British fighter ever for me.

Rob 04-19-2008 05:52 PM

I think he dominates a 12 round fight. He isn't the best British fighter ever though. He hasn't fought enough world class competition which wasn't his fault. Just a sub par division where he was a world beater. Remember Hopkins refused to fight him in Wales in 2001 after agreeing to do so and his record isn't filled with a bunch of blown up fighters like Trinidad, De La Hoya, Winky Wright, etc. Jermaine Taylor isn't in Calzaghe's league either.

Londoner 04-19-2008 06:10 PM

Would order if i had the money.Am drunk anyway so don't really care.

CSL 04-19-2008 06:21 PM

I dunno. The staredown at the weigh in was the first time I've really seen Joe look anything but relaxed, like he was tense/nervous whilst Hopkins looked like Calzaghe normally would. Also, Hopkins has a lot more 'big fight' experience. I think Calzaghe is going to have to convincingly out-box him to win, anything too close is a Hopkins win/draw. Fucking pumped atm, should be awesome

Team Sheep 04-19-2008 06:22 PM

Gonna be watching. Can't wait.

Extreme Angle 04-19-2008 07:24 PM

FFS still no reception... Half cu, just been to a party, hopefully it'll work

Londoner 04-19-2008 07:29 PM

lol glad i didnt order it then if they cant even get a proper reception, ring them up and complain.

PHONE SKY DIPSHIT

Extreme Angle 04-19-2008 07:52 PM

sky and setanta are different...

CSL 04-19-2008 07:55 PM

But the problem isn't with Setanta, it's with Sky. Setanta is working fine on Virgin Media atm

Avenger 04-19-2008 07:55 PM

They are the provider, they are the people to call.

Wake mummy and daddy up and ask them to do it. Either that or go to bed.

Avenger 04-19-2008 07:55 PM

what CSL said

Londoner 04-19-2008 07:57 PM

Probably due to shit weather.

ct2k 04-19-2008 08:00 PM

Outboxing Hopkins is no easy feat, hell landing a jab is gonna be hard enough, he's old but he's still in great trim.

I think Joe will do it though, people have let the fact that he's a bit of a slapper take away from the fact that he's also a tremendous physical specimin and damn quick, the flurries he throws don't look all that powerful but they get the job done, just ask Jeff Lacy.

NeanderCarl 04-19-2008 08:03 PM

I'm on the case. Last time I stayed up to cheer on Ricky Hatton and Mayweather kicked his ass. This time, it's my homeboy. Calzaghe all the way.

NeanderCarl 04-19-2008 08:04 PM

Hope it's not too late, though, fuckin' knackered.

ct2k 04-19-2008 08:04 PM

Yeah will you can blame the fuckin stupid british media for the Hatton fiasco, they confused wanting him to win with him actually having a chance.

ct2k 04-19-2008 08:05 PM

lol the fight probably won't even start til about 4:30 am:D

NeanderCarl 04-19-2008 08:07 PM

Fuck me, Extreme Angle is Welsh?? So me and Team Sheep aren't the only ones.

Londoner 04-19-2008 08:28 PM

Agreed ct2k, though gotta give credit to Hatton for giving it his best eh. I actually stayed up for that. Btw those of you who are watching this, can you update in this thread what happens?

fucking right. Cwmbran.
Apparently there is no signal up in london either.

Danny Electric 04-19-2008 08:48 PM

Someone get Harrison in the ring, watching his ugly face talk is boring me.

NeanderCarl 04-19-2008 08:49 PM

My mate subscribed to Setanta and brought his Sky viewing card to my house to watch it, but I'm beginning to get the feeling it might get scrambled at 3am... anyone know if it'll work?

Fabien Barthez 04-19-2008 08:50 PM

Any Sopcast links about?

NeanderCarl 04-19-2008 08:50 PM

Is there no undercard?

NeanderCarl 04-19-2008 08:51 PM

It must be working for me to even be able to watch Setanta right now... right?

Danny Electric 04-19-2008 08:53 PM

I get Setanta free because I got a free upgrade on Virgin last year.

There is an undercard, just only showing a few of his fights.

Audley Harrison is up next.

Fabien Barthez 04-19-2008 09:11 PM

Anyone need a sopcast link?

sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/37351

Its mostly good, having its moments though. Audley is swamping this guy. How did they find a guy bad enough to make Audley look dominant?

NeanderCarl 04-19-2008 09:11 PM

This fight is boring me to sleep.

Fabien Barthez 04-19-2008 09:21 PM

Yeah, it's not good. Sopcast link is doing splendedly. Who's up next.

Lol, Audley just ate a punch you would expect a hobo to leave open. What a cock.

Danny Electric 04-19-2008 09:21 PM

Lol, You have to love the guy for never shopping up about a title shot.

Fabien Barthez 04-19-2008 09:26 PM

WTF was that finish? Quick, I suppose is the releaving factor.

Tom Jones Baby! :cool:

So, is it the Headline fight or what now?
