I've always found their picture quality to be alright. Still I only watch the odd game here and there so maybe I've been lucky

You won't be saying that when Setanta goes under or loses premier league football, once again Sky will monopolise the league and then watch your subscription climb.
Personally I don't get a bad picture at all from Setanta, its certainly not on par with Sky's but its well watchable.

thought the game today (Portsmouth v Liverpool) - the quality was very much better than has been in the past. It was on par with BBC/ITV

Surely not! I have become more cautious in recent years about saying "it must be true, I read it on the interenet" but I know that it really is true if I read it on Wikipedia!

Well least 1 more HD channel before April wouldn't be so bad, but still can't wait till Channel 4 starts HD.
