BT Vision is a digital TV service that combines broadband for live TV, and TV downloaded to your TV set over a BT Broadband connection

BT Vision offered the BT Vision Sport service with content supplied by Setanta on their service.

BT Vision is available to BT Broadband customers, and includes a BT Vision V+ recorder if you sign up to a BT Vision package. More details at www.btvision.com, or on our BT Vision page page.

Freeview Channel 34

In 2009 it was possible to get Setanta Sports via a TV aerial - Setanta 1 was available from midday to 3am.

To get Setanta on Freeview, a special Freeview set-top box was required that had a card slot suitable for a Setanta subscription card.

Those with a TV set or a PVR with a suitable card slot may have been able to get Setanta Sports using something called a CAM. See our CAM page for more on this.

Subscription for the single Setanta channel was £10.99 a month

Top Up TV Channel 34

Top Up TV offers a service that includes the basic Freeview channels, has a hard-disk recorder, and also downloads various TV programmes overnight, that you can watch on-demand later.

Top Up TV had done a deal with Setanta Sport, and with a Top Up TV Anytime set-top box, you could have subscribed to Setanta Sports for £9.99 a month. This was a single channel offering, unlike Sky's multi-channel Setanta package.

More details on our Top Up TV Anytime page.

This service uses your existing phone line to deliver around 80 TV channels to your home and is available to the following UK towns: London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leicester, Stevenage, Milton Keynes, Wolverhampton, Salford and Warrington

You're supplied with a special decoder box, and then have access to digital TV services. In 2009, this included Setanta Sports.

From their terms and conditions: "You may cancel your subscription any time after the first ten days of your contract by providing us with written notice which will take effect one month after your next billing date."

If you wanted to cancel your Setanta Sport subscription, you needed to contact Setanta Customer Services. Please don't contact Radio & Telly, as we can't help with account queries or cancellations.

Looking for an alternative sports service? The most comprehensive alternative is the Sky Sports package.

Some digital TV sets have a card slot that was suitable for use with a Setanta Sports subscription card. You may have needed a CAM (which stands for Conditional Access Module) that slots into your IDTV and accepts the subscription card.
