I have a Cable TV contract which supplies Setanta Free. I also subscribe to receve Sky Sport Channels.
As I get excelent reception on DVB with my current TV, is it posible to pay only for Setanta and Sky Sport channels without having to pay for the Cable contract?
Services: VM XL TV, L Telco, M BB. Freeview, Tesco Mobile.

Re: DVB + Setanta and Sky Sport.
On digital terrestrial you only get 1 setanta channel compared to the 6 on Virgin. Also only Sky Sports News is available. As far as I know from the cable side, Setanta is not available as a standalone pack and Sports/Movies have to be taken with at least the "M" package, which includes all the freeview channels anyway.
Thanks, nodrogd. All Setanta channels come free with Virgin Media XL and you can subscribe for the basic Sky channels, without interactive or HD. I was just wondering if I could get these channels without having to pay for freewiew. I can get a card to slot into my TV for Setanta, at about £11 per month, but I am doubtful about Sky Sport.
I am already with VM XL so I have setanta, and I subscribe to the basic Sky Sport. It seems a pity that I have to subscribe to VM or Sky in order to obtain Sky Channels, When I have the dvb channels for free.
