FAQ - Glorystar Christian Satellite Systems

[Iceberg]

how well do we fit into your programming footprint?

very well. The channels on AMC4 are (no pun intended) ungodly strong. I could get most of the Glorystar channels on a smaller dish (an old DirecTV Phase II with a KU LNB). A couple were weak but that was due to the smaller dish. The stock dish in the system (36" dish) I get very good signals on AMC4. The stuff on IA5 (G25) works great here in Minnesota. I know lots of people in Florida who have a dish for the ethnic channels on IA5 and it works fine.

I have a SatelliteAV system with the dual-LNBF setup that they sell for Glorystar. The black dish on this particular model is very snazzy and the miniature LNBFs and DISEQC switch are also amazing.

I highly recommend the Glorystar system for anyone looking at tuning two 4-degree-adjacent services.

Did I say the super-miniature LNBFs are just amazing?? They're smaller than the smallest "bullet" ones I've ever seen. The body of the LNBF is exactly as wide as the aperture to give you some idea.

Welcome Glorystar, we need some wholesome programming in this country and it sounds like you have taken the complexity out of the the FTA Christian channels so many more people other than us "satellite guys" can also get the reception.

Welcome to the forum!!!!

Did I understand correctly, that you have distributors and insallers in Mexico? This is an answer to prayer in seeking Christian programming in central Mexico. I had lifetime subscription to SA when in the USA but have not been able to view Christian TV for two years.

Is it possible to receive in Ecuador? We have a family that I put in SA for and now they are going to Ecuador as missionaries

Maybe i missed it, but what exactly is Glorystar? Does it sell equipment with programing to get FTA from others or does it rent transponders and seek programing from suppliers to provide Christian channels? How is it financed if it's free?

[Glorystar1]

Glorystar is a Ministry Support Partner with Christian broadcasters providing equipment distribution throughout North America. We are not burdened by the cost of dedicated or limited transponder space or the cost of providing an uplink center. We do not control the uplink services or the availability of the Christian content FTA channels. Broadcasters are free to book their own space and sign their own contracts to determine the coverage and the link budget for their own ministry!

Glorystar distributes FTA equipment which is preloaded with custom developed firmware. We are financed through the sale of equipment and the installation bookings if required by the customer.

Very soon we will begin to offer unique services through Glorystar equipment that will not be available with standard FTA receivers. In the near future, Glorystar channels will also be available at a very nominal charge via IPTV. Once again our goal is to provide distribution of Christian content programming using high quality equipment, providing excellent customer satisfaction at the lowest possible cost to the broadcaster and the viewer!
