I just heard that ESPN, who have bought Setanta's rights to premiership matches will be free to air for the first month of the new season - so make sure you have retuned your freeview box to be able to get it.

Has Setanta stopped broadcasting in UK completely?

They are still showing in Australia.

Special 1 TV FTW!

Yes, they are done in the UK, but still going strong in the US. I believe they have the Premier League rights here for the next 2 years as well as the Aussie Rules and the Tri-nations Rugby. Irony here is that ESPN have lost some ground with the Champions League to Fox Soccer Channel.
