Default Getting a Setanta subscription in England

How would someone go about getting a Setanta subscription who lives in England?

It appears it is offered to Ireland customers in a few ways: They can add it to your existing Sky sub or provide you with a viewing card themselves.

Why is it not offered to England customers?

It is offered to both Northern Ireland and the Republic.

Setanta only have Ireland rights, so is only offered in R.O.I.. I believe the RTE channels are offered in N.I. as they do travel there from the terrestrial transmitters

They may block the Satellite cards, but they cannot block the terrestrial overspill - unless that is encrypted now.

setanta is a satellite channel and rte (national tv in rep of ireland) are tv channels,rte in the six counties (n.ireland) can be viewed by an amplified aerial which is also available to costal parts of england and wales which runs the line next to the republic,no programs are effected/encrypted by aerial but will be by satellite.
rte has no epl 3pm kick offs.
if you want to register your sky box to an address in the republic you will get full rte and you can buy your satellite sub for setanta with a uk credit card and still have all bbc and itv channels as well as the 3pm epl kick offs,so start calling you long lost celtic cousins for an address in the republic.
