Setanta is one of the SDs on the list for when they get capacity to add more channels There's a list? I'd love to know what else is on it for both SD and HD. Can you provide it? No, I can't provide it. I remember a lot of the specific channel names from the list, but I didn't leave with it. |

Almost anything anyone has asked for on all the various threads was on the list. VZ programming (Denson's team) had a huge range of deals for niche SD programming, along with all of the HDs that are constantly being requested on this board.
This included lots of international content, both from the Globecast deal (announced in 2006) and elsewhere. There were niche sports services like World Fishing Network, services dedicated to various types of fighting, etc., as well as things like "Blue Horizons TV" which I think had something to do with retirement.
Of course, there were also the sports packages like MLB EI, Center Ice, etc. and the Big 10 network (SD and HD).
In the end, I really only cared about the delivery method and bandwidth it took, not what the pictures were of. But I remember Setanta specifically because someone sent Ivan a letter about it, that made its way to my desk. |
