Well its not free because your paying for cable/sky then 9 quid a month on top.

But yeah its been confirmed that it'll be on Setanta. I think first episode is on Thursday the 2nd of April

i read it was subscription free too. not sure how that works exactly though

So even if you dont subcribe to Setanta its free?

[daspecimen]

Thats the impression I got.

[mmashay]

Thats what i heard aswel but not sure if its true?

[daspecimen]

TUF: Team USA vs UK starts April 2nd on Setanta Sports and will be available WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION, so all UK viewers with cable, satellite or freeview TV will be able to tune in

from Tuesdays' Daily Star

[Predator]

from Tuesdays' Daily Star

thats big

i had no idea.

that means that anyone with freeview can tune it. it will pull in alot more viewers

[MMAlien]

Awesome (if true)

[widge milward]

doesnt it mean along the lines of subscribing for x months?

[KidKimura]

How would that work? You can't access the channel without a subscription,
hope it is true tho, I'm holding out to find out before I subscribe!

[MMAlien]

probably on setanta news?

[Tommo]

Thats wot Spike TV did with the original TUF in the US so prehaps Setanta are unblocking their site just for this in the hope of getting new subscribers for the main events etc....good plan if they are!

[Evilbob]

There's been a couple of times I've been flicking through the channels on freeview and have been able to watch Setanta even though I dont subscribe so it is possible(somehow). Great news if it is true tho. Saves having to try find it online.

[PuffY]

They just gotta turn the encryption off, porn channels do it all the time for their 10 minute freeview or so i hear.......
:S

[Martial Arts kitten]

Nothing on their news page except an article on 'Legends old and new on UFC Undisputed 2009' posted today. We pay for Sentanta for the UFC anyway but it would be good for everyone else if they are doing something to promote TUF

:(

[Evilbob]

All I could find is at the bottom of this page

Doesnt say anything about it being free, just on every friday at 11.

i read it was subscription free too. not sure how that works exactly though

you can buy a free view plus box from asda for 50 pound, you pay 20 pound 2 subscribe to sentanta and then you get 6 months free, i believe theres a catch where you then pay 10 pound a month to keep it for a further 6 months. imgetting one, good deal, you can record and rewind these boxes aswell.:)

[londonpride]

its nothing new pay tv that's normally blocked/not subscribed to allowing a channel to work for a few hours. im not subscribed to the movie channels and it's normally a blank screen saying 'subscribe' or something like that, but last week i was able to watch them for a few days, it was some promotion they were doing.
good idea of setanta if they chose to unblock their channel for everyone, will certianly bring in subscriptions and even more so boost the sport in the uk (whats the bet dana and his marketers are behind this).

[Ian23]

If you have freeview you should be able to get it. I haven't paid for setanta but sometimes they put free stuff on there that anyone can watch.

When does it start on tv? cant wait

[darthcrab]

its free on virgin media if you have the xl package (which I do, coz im badass)

well worth it

[mickclark]

i'm covered, got sky and then subscribing to setanta specially for ufc. cant fricking wait!!!!! :D

[Levo]

Just in case people hadn't seen, it's on Setanta Sports next Thursday, April 2nd, at 22:00.

That one's not free is it? On normal Virgin TV anyway

[Leesin]

Not sure, I got both setanta channel on my XL package ? on the normal package do you even get setanta at all ?

[daspecimen]

For those of you who aren't aware, TUF 9 is (or at least should be) on Setanta subsciption free for the whole series. So no need to sign up solely for that.
