Did anyone have any buffering problems with Fox News on election night? I typically don't have any problems with buffering on Fox News but it was so bad on election night that I had to switch to the Fox Business News channel which surprisingly worked better. My first thought was that there was...

I have recorded Sky Angel shows on my DVD recorder and have not had a problem although I haven't used the timed recording mode on the DVD recorder. I have only manually recorded. I used to have a Sony DVD recorder that was connected to Sky Angel when it was on DISH and I had so many problems...

As a follow up to my previous post about SA having inappropriate songs in the Karaoke section of VOD, I received the following e-mail from SA. Dear Mr. Day, Thank you for your email and for the opportunity to answer your questions. We're working hard at providing you and your family with the...

Larobpra, After reading your comment above, I went to the VOD section of SA IPTV last night and too discovered that SA is making a major overhaul. I was surprised to see that content from secular channels (i.e. NFL Network, Animal Planet, Discover, etc.) are going to be made available at some...

Okay, so here's the question I have. If SA is going the IPTV route, then do they still need an uplink center? If not, why did they recently make the move to Cleveland, TN? If the uplink center is not needed for IPTV, then why would SA invest time and money in moving to Cleveland only to...

By the way, does anyone have any experience with IPTV. For instance, is the picture quality as good as satellite? Also, can you get HDTV with IPTV? Also, does anyone have any information to suggest that Sky Angel will be able to add more channels than it currently has? I wonder if the...

I can't see channel 9710 yet. Will it show up automatically or do I have to do something manually?

Thanks for the information. That's what I suspected but wanted to make sure. Do you happen to know the answer to my second question on the a-la-carte channels?

I think I know the answer to my question but just need someone else to confirm it. I currently have Sky Angel and the free public interest channels from Dish (i.e. Pentagon, Classic Arts, etc.) on the 61.5 satellite. I don't have any other Dish programming. I noticed recently that there is a...

As a follow up I sent an e-mail to Sky Angel asking them about GTN's programming. Below is an e-mail I received today from Kathleen Johnson in case anyone else is interested. Thanks for writing Sky Angel. No, GTN locally is a different feed; the programmer that owns "The Brady Bunch", etc...

Thanks for the information. My son is really into cowboys and western movies right now. He watches The Lone Ranger and The Cisco Kid on GTN and was afraid that they were going to be replaced with other shows. I told him I would try to find out.

Does anyone know if Guardian Television Network's (GTN) Sky Angel Satellite feed has the same programming as GTN's over the air or cable feed? I noticed on GTN's web-site that their programming schedule is different, especially in the afternoon, than what is shown on GTN on Sky Angel. For...

Thanks for the information.

I recently bought a DISH system for the sole purpose of subscribing to Sky Angel. For about two weeks prior to Sky Angel being activated, I was getting a few free channels on the 61.5 satellite such as The Pentagon Channel, Arts, and the Good Samaritan Network. I believe these channels were on...
