        thanx for the info mate i just saw it on the scottish news. setanta has confirmed that all direct debits for the nexy months subscriptions have been cancelled, but those who paid for a year upfront may have to approach the administraters for a refund. its sad news for those of us who enjoyed the scottish football but rumour has it that it will be seen next year on the espn channel which is currently on vm.

            People who subscribed to Setanta Sports through Virgin Media will receive pro-rata refunds, it has been confirmed.

            A spokesperson said that "any customers subscribing to the service will be refunded pro-rata".

            BT Vision, which retailed Setanta Sports 1 to its customers, also confirmed that customers would be refunded for any advance payments.

            Virgin Media said that negotiations with ESPN for the carriage of its new British channel are continuing.

                    BT added that it was in talks with ESPN about a deal to show the English Premier League matches that it has bought the rights to for next season, and is telling customers to retain their BT Vision/Setanta viewing card.

                    Virgin Media has also confirmed it is in discussions with ESPN

                              Celtic TV, the television channel for Celtic FC operated by Setanta Sports, has ceased broadcasting and will not return until a deal with a new rights holder is struck.

                              Other channels previously run by Setanta, including Arsenal TV, are still on the air in some capacity but are also scrambling to make new arrangements.

                              In a statement, Celtic said: "Following the news that Setanta has ceased broadcasting, Celtic TV, which is operated by Setanta, is also in the same position.

                              "Naturally, this is very disappointing news for the Celtic TV service and its staff. The channel has steadily built up a faithful subscription base and has become more and more popular with supporters.

                              "The club would like to thank all those involved in production and presentation of the Celtic TV channel. They should be very proud of the channel, which provided an important link between the Club and our fans.

                              "While clearly, we cannot make any guarantees, we hope that in the future there may be further opportunities to re-instate a club channel under any new rights holder and this is something which we will be investigating.

                              "Channel 67, Celtic's online audio and video channel, will continue to provide an important and entertaining link between the club and supporters throughout the world."

                              Arsenal said that its TV channel would continue broadcasting in the short term but the club will evaluate its long term viability.
