FYI: More televised EOYT options

November 7, 2006

[UPDATE #1:] One review is in and all I will say is caveat emptor.

[UPDATE #2:]

"I'm a MediaZone subsriber as well - but had to watch the England game on Setanta broadband. I didn't have any problems with the small screen - just double click it - and it went to full screen mode. Also - I was having problems with buffering on the higher speed option - so just clicked the lower bandwidth - and it was pretty much perfect for the rest of the game."

Setanta is offering a live online streaming broadcast of the Fall rugby tours in much the same way as Mediazone Rugby Channel does. The latter does not have the French and England test matches, but Setanta does.

I have not tried the service yet, but Setanta is offering a 7-test package for USD$29.99. (The first test has already passed.) Options to purchase test matches individually are also available for $9.99 per test. Visit the Setanta broadband website for more deatils.
