Thank you for writing and letting us know your concern.

Beginning Mar 1, 2010, much of Setanta’s programming rights, including premium soccer games and rugby events, will be transferred to Fox and made available on the new Fox Soccer Plus channel.

DIRECTV is working with Fox to come to an agreement to offer Fox Soccer Plus so we can provide a seamless transition of all the same great content you’ve enjoyed on Setanta, including:
- Rugby matches
- Soccer matches from the top leagues, including the European Champions League, England’s Premier League, and more.

Setanta programming will be available on Fox Soccer Plus. Upon DIRECTV and Fox’s completed agreement for Fox Soccer Plus, Setanta customers will automatically be eligible for the new channel. Fox Soccer Channel is not required.

DIRECTV is in discussions with FOX to offer Fox Soccer Plus but have not reached an agreement yet. There isn’t anything you need to do at this time. Upon reaching an agreement with Fox for carriage of Fox Soccer
Plus, DIRECTV would transition your Setanta programming over to Fox Soccer Plus automatically on March 1.
