Fox Soccer Channel? Setanta? GolTV? I am highly confused...geeky soccer mags chime in.
Posted in the other thread: you want Setanta Sports. Gol TV is mostly Mexican/South American leagues. FSC has more highlights and news programs than Setanta.
Worth the $12.99 IMHO.
Edit: Wow, the rates went up, it's now $15. Glad I locked in while it was cheaper. Still worth it at $15

So we can get GolTV and Fox Soccer + like 20 other sports channels for $12.95 or just Setanta for $15....no way on both, we don't watch that much TV. Do you have all those channels, or just Setanta?
Leaning towards the sports package, 150 premier league games, Italian league, and we lived in Argentina for awhile so I love watching River Plate...looking pretty good. -100 points for MLS coverage, though.
The MLS coverage dominates FSC during the season. Just a warning.
I have only Setanta Sports since I did the NZ study abroad thing and became a rugby nut. I bought Setanta for the rugby and stayed for the soccer. The Manchester Uni and Chelsey TV coverage is the shiz, though FSC covers Arsenal... gotta pick your EPL team.
