GEELONG FOOTBALL CLUB 2008 - UK TV GUIDE
AS THE CATTERY will be watching Geelong
games from London for the foreseeable future, we thought it appropriate
we share our knowledge of just how the hell you manage to watch
our games in this place! We're pleased to report at least the
first couple games will be on Setanta Sports, available
within the United Kingdom and Ireland. That's on top of the sometime
coverage at the ubiquitous Walkabout pubs.
Unfortunately, the live coverage is only
on Setanta Sports 2, whereas the most readily accessible channel
is Setanta Sports 1, which is available on 'Freeview'. To get
Setanta Sports 2, you need to do one oft he following:
- Get it on Satellite direct www.setanta.com
- Get broadband from Tiscali (which is what we've
done) www.tiscali.co.uk
- Get it from Virgin Media (Cable - in very limited
areas!)
NOTE Setanta's 'Broadband' service does
NOT INCLUDE AFL - blame the AFL for this! Why, we don't know.
It's limited to the UK only, anyway, and AFL.com.au does not offer
live coverage anyway.
You COULD pay 9.99 a month view 'Freeview'
and watch the games on Setanta Sports 1, however this would typically
be the next day, ie. not 'live'.
