Can you get setanta til 3am on FV? If the fight is a 2 O'clock kick-off you should get to see it

You need to get some little scrot to burn that tree down, actually I might have some agent orange in the shed for ya

The coverage starts at 3am so won't be available to Freeview Digibox subscribers.

So I have cancelled my Setanta Freeview. But after testing their Setanta Broadband I have subscribed to that. It's £7.99 and the stream is great (I have a 2mb connection). All Setanta channels are available through it and they have all their previous fights to watch instantly.
It streams Great.

I had to get it as I want to watch the Pavlik vs Taylor fight Live without using the unreliable sopcast.

I've had to have a speculative fiver on a JT UD @ 4/1. He outboxed KP for quite alot of the first fight, I think he put too much into stopping him when he had him down early on. If he can stick to his boxing this time and not get tagged (easier said than done I know) then I he could pull it off

if its in vegas or west coast..coverage should start at 3am, and main event would come around 5 am..

Setanta coverage is from 3 am - 6.30 am (west coast shows)

It shuts off at 3am as they ride the Channel 5 signal. Bastard. I really wanna see this live and Dirk is moving that day, so doesn't have Setanta.

Double bastard.

Setanta need to start the same time as the American HBO show like sky do. There a good chance again the fights wont be live depending on how the rounds go. If setanta did that there onto a winner.

So say you can't watch it live can you just watch it whenever you want to?

Same here, but we may find our prayers fall on deaf ears, as Setanta on FV nearly always fcuk-up with live broadcasting of fights, then try to make out it's nothing because there are repeats shown! Fcuking audacity of some people is ridiculous!

It's 50 dollars to watch where i live, I'll pass on it. Too much to pay to watch for almost any fight.

Here in australia I have had to fork out AU$34.99.

Worth it though, should be a cracker.

He couldn't even smoke Spinks and I had Cory winning 7 rounds to 5 that night. :P

Spinks is a better technical boxer than Pavlik - with a better chin... all Spinks lacks is power.

Yeah, Spinks and Winky beat Taylor IMO and Ouma ran him close (this is the most worrying performance). However, I was really dissapointed in Pavlik - for large portions of the fight he looked very open and very limited.

It could conceivably be the only title fight in which Taylor was in a commanding points lead at the time of the stoppage.

I hope they broadcast it in 16:9 format and not 4:3.
