Well the good news is I've searched high and low and have found this interesting article:

Setanta has 1.2 million direct subscribers and 1.8 million indirect subscribers, who receive the company's programs through other parties such as BT Group BT Vision IPTV service and Virgin Media Inc.
So I was wrong. Setanta had 1.2 million paying customers but also 1.8 million "free" customers. A total of 3 million people with access to the channel when it went down the pan.
