The Digital TV 2007 Report, due to be released next week, shows only 1% of UK adults with digital TV at home said they were very likely to subscribe to the sports channels within the next 12 months.
Of those surveyed, 6% said they were quite likely to take the service, with 20% not very likely and 70% not at all likely.
Among the relatively small number of Sky customers who said they were likely to buy Setanta, a majority said it would be in addition to Sky Sports, rather than as a replacement.

Fookin quality, I can't wait for the cheeky barstard to go bankrupt and then maybe we the consumers will stop getting ripped off.
I havent subscribed and have no intention to; £120 per year to watch 4 or 5 lousy fookin second rate matches involving Liverpool, im not that stupid!!
And it makes me even more sick the fact that people who subscribed when it was £15.00 per month, have to continue to pay £15 a month and are locking into a 12 month contract, for exactly the same service that new subscribers pay the new pricing of £10 a month with no contract, I mean wtf the cheeky robbing barstard!!
