SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

[catkoko]

Judging from past suits(such as kodak making instant cameras) if there is a judgement Sky angel would be required to attempt to locate all members and notify them giving them the option to opt in or out of the class action suit. this is in case someone would rather sue them individually. it has to be one or the other, not both.

Does anyone have any info on the company doing Sky Angels IPTV service? A few people have told me (and I don't know if its true) that they are the same folks who just purchased the 175 channel porn IPTV service ITVN.

If anyone has any information on this please let me know.

NeuLion, the
Index of /

service co-owned by Cablevision's Charles Dolan and computer magnate Charles Wang, will
distribute

the Sky Angel Christian TV networks in the US.

haven't found anything about PORN yet, but if so I think that will be the end of sky angel for sure

Shiftv is the IPTV provider for sky angel canada. Can't find any info on the so far

Broadshift purchased ITVN

ITVN has been sold to BroadShift, a "a Canadian aggregator and distributor of narrowcast Internet protocol television", for $11 million.

are these one and the same company?

[Iceberg]

I assume they are one in the same. There arent that many IPTV companies out there much less in Canada

This is all horrible then! If its true as it appears then sky Angel has joined hands with the devil. If this is true then their canadian affiliate is now a major porn player How in the world has this happened?

On the other hand, porn is in abundance at ITVN. And unlike the relatively tame version on pay-per-view cable and satellite, ITVN's 5,000 or so subscribers get access to 30,000 hours of porn in all its explicit glory, organized by 70 fetish genres, studios or performers.
Not surprisingly, XTV was co-founded by David Koenig, a well-known name in the porn industry whose Holio.net is a top Internet site.

They have provided the streaming in Canada for a while for SA Canada

No big surprise there, they have been running much of the streaming for them for awhile now.

But SA US & SA Canada are two different companies. As you noted above, a company run by Charles Dolan will run the SA US version

NeuLion, the Index of / service co-owned by Cablevision's Charles Dolan and computer magnate Charles Wang, will distribute the Sky Angel Christian TV networks in the US.

Charles Dolan runs cablevision (a huge cable company in NY) and use to own Voom (which was a satellite provider until Dish bought them out), founded HBO, and owns Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music hall and a couple sports teams.

Charles Dolan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So he has money to put into it

E* carries adult material as well (admittedly not 175 channels of it...) - granted the SA* deal with E* was controversial as well.

NEWSFLASH:

Christians Live in the Real World!

Many to express shock. A few will sue! "Why didn't God immediately remove us from all this potential contact with sin!" "Why does He expect us to reach out to 'sinners'? They are so sinful!"

No new Word from Heaven.

More details in the future....
