There are places you can get yourself an Irish Sky sub and add Setanta but it will cost you for the card and you will have to pay for Setanta up front for one year.

If you have an Irish address, can you just pay Setanta and get a card off them rather than subscribing to Sky Ie? I see from their site that you can subscribe from Northern Ireland.

Yes you can subscribe and get a card from Setanta ,just to watch setanta channels - without having to take out a sky package.

u can subscribe to setanta fine, and get everything but 3pm kick offs.

im not familiar with any of this, what do you mean by cs?

do you even get the 3pm kickoffs without the broadcast being blocked out?

setanta cards are for sale on the net for uk but they are £345,best to go down dreambox route or get an address down south from anyone you might know down there and buy a sub.
