The Dish Network Setanta Free Preview is scheduled to end on "September 16th".

No word on when it will end, but Dish often makes changes on Wednesday at the time that happens to be about an hour before Champions League kickoff.

So, if you were planning on DVR-ing Setanta today, and plan to subscribe after the Free Preview, you should do so now.

Why is Dish promoting a failed channel that lost their Premier League rights to ESPN?

Why is Dish promoting a failed channel that lost their Premier League rights to ESPN?

Maybe because they are possibly getting kickbacks from said channel?

Clueless..............

Setanta is still going and showing Premier League Matches every week......

Setanta lost their EPL rights to ESPN UK. In the US...they r still working & still holds the right to EPL..with Fox. ESPN at the last moment come with an agreement with Fox to share some of the EPL games.

I will also like if ESPN brought up Setanta US & covert this channel into ESPN 3 or something like that...as has been rumored for some time now. They can then put Intl Cricket also on that channel...since ESPN do hold some of the worldwide rights to Cricket to some very important series for sometime to comes

If that was going to happen, it would have happened this past summer...
