Very true. What always puzzled me is why Setanta Sports and ESPN didn't do better numbers. Both channels where available through SKY, Virgin Media, BT Vision, Top Up TV and Freeview. Almost every home in the UK to access the channels yet the highest amount of subscribers any of these channels reached was roughly 1.3 million by Setanta which included Virgins "free" XL customers.
