ISP Tiscali has signed a deal with Setanta Sports which sees the Irish-based sports broadcasters’ services be made available on their IPTV platform. The Setanta Sports Pack is now available to Tiscali TV customers for £9.99 a month, and provides coverage of 46 of the Barclays Premier League games and 60 Clydesdale Bank SPL games, plus a range of European and American sporting action from the US PGA Tour, the Magners League and the French Top 14.
Sports enthusiasts can also add the Sky Sports package for complete Premiership coverage from £21.99 a month.
This is great news for customers who want digital TV choice and broadband, but don’t live in an area where Sky has set up connections in their local exchange. Tiscali have recently revamped and relaunched their TV platform, potentially extending their services to 10 million customers.
The Setanta Sports Pack is now available on pretty much every platform, including Freeview, Sky, BT Vision and free on Virgin Media.
