    Broadcast delay

    I have two Sky Angel IPTV boxes. One of the boxes is directly connected to the TV in the den, and it has a 75-foot ethernet cable. The other box is in the bedroom, and it has an RF-modulator connected to it, and from there, coax cable running all over the house to the other TVs. That box has...

    IPTV Buffering problems

    Still getting buffering problems. Here's how I've dealt with it: 1. Called Sky Angel. They moved me to a different server, which helped. 2. Increased my internet speed. I still sometimes get buffering problems. Whenever it happens, I run the speed test, and I find that I am usually...

    Disappointed lifetime members post HERE

    You don't sound like the kind of person who was interested in Sky Angel anyway.

    Server

    Here's what I did to eliminate buffering -- it is rare since I did this. I have four computers and two IPTV boxes. I have a Linksys Cable/DSL router, and a Linksys 5-port switch. I plugged the two IPTV boxes and the switch into the router. Then I plugged all of the computers into the...

    Unable to get SA IPTV to work

    I plugged in my first IPTV box directly to the router, and it had some issues, but they were quickly resolved by Sky Angel tech support. I plugged in my second IPTV box directly to the router, and it worked instantly. Wired is more reliable than wireless, less prone to errors. Having said...

    FYI: New Dish Network Package $9.99/mo.

    First thing I'd do is to call my credit card company and tell them that my card has been stolen, and can they give me a different card number. Then perhaps you can get a "disposable" credit card number for paying DISH in the future.

    Port issues?

    When I first got Sky Angel IPTV, my box was continually buffering. The Sky Angel technician put me on a server which was closer to my city, and the buffering problem went away. Later, I had a buffering problem, but for a different reason. I then figured out how to give priority to the IPTV...

    Just got Sky Angel! its wonderful!!

    If you had Sky Angel satellite, then you already have coax cable running around the house. All you need is an RF modulator (costs $10.00 at Family Dollar), and a good quality splitter, and you can WATCH Sky Angel all over the house. Here's my setup: I have "limited basic" cable TV for the...

    IPTV Buffering problems

    I failed to mention in the above posting that my IPTV boxes are connected to the router! Basically, there are three devices hooked to my router: my two IPTV boxes, and my switch. Then all of the computers are hooked to the switch. That's why each device hooked to the router gets 1/3 of...

    IPTV Buffering problems

    If you're IPTV box is continually buffering, here's a solution: If you have only one computer, this won't work. If you have more than one computer, get a switch and connect it to your broadband router. Connect all of your computers to the switch. In this way, your computers will get a...

    Hallmark Channel

    MellowYBird: I mentioned in another posting that years ago, NBC and PAX began some sort of affiliation, and that was the time that PAX (now ION) began to show inappropriate programming. I am seriously wondering if NBC didn't like the fact that PAX was very popular (i.e. a competitor), and so...

    Hallmark Channel

    Perry Mason is generally a good show for my kids to watch, since they are both teenagers. Matlock is usually good, but there are occasional moments when they present cohabitation as an acceptable thing, or when they use a bad word. When my kids were young, they weren't allowed to watch any of...

    AllWorship on SkyAngel

    Sky Angel is well worth the money, imho. :up As far as your sister getting Sky Angel, I've been trying to convince all of my Christian friends that they should have Sky Angel. So far, only my sister-in-law is going to sign up. One other person says that he will sign up right away, but he...

    Sky Angel Channels

    You can probably get most or all of the radio channels via the internet. But it is handy getting them on all of my TVs. I think that for Fox News, TVU, KTV/Spirit, Faith TV, HGTV, and Hallmark, it is well worth it.

    Dishnetwork IPTV?

    Sky Angel offers IPTV in Canada. Sure would be nice if it was also available in the US.

    Wow, did I mess up!

    MellowYBird: Here are some places you can go for good Christian and patriotic movies: https://www.visionvideo.com -- This is where many of the great movies / biographies shown on Faith TV come from. http://www.wallbuilders.com -- They have lots of great stuff which shows the history of...

    Wow, did I mess up!

    Let me see if I understand, MellowYBird: You object to most of Sky Angel, because of "content and content of commercials". Ok. I can live with that. But I can't understand why you would then try DISH Family! It has Fox News, Hallmark, and HMC (things you found offensive on Sky Angel), as...

    Hallmark Channel

    FAITH TV has some excellent movies; most of them are Christian movies. Although Hallmark shows some questionable programming, I pretty much allow my kids to watch anything on it, except for MASH. Why in the world they show MASH is beyond me. I thoroughly enjoy HGTV, except for one program...

    dish network, at&t and sky angel

    Re: Sky Angel The problem is, if you are a Sky Angel customer, you are also listed with DISH as a customer, because you use their receiver box and satellite. I wouldn't drop the Sky Angel lifetime membership; you might, however, get Sky Angel to temporarily suspend your account and deactivate...

    sharing service

    If, say, you were going camping in your mobile home, and you had a portable dish on a tripod, I'll bet that DISH wouldn't object to your taking your receiver box with you. But if you were going to move to the campground on a permanent basis, they probably would object to your having a setup at...

    Cable Splitter in Dish TV connection

    You can do this one of two ways: * Split the cable coming from your satellite dish -- you will need a multiswitch to properly do this. You'll also need an additional receiver box. * Split the "Out to TV" cable coming from your DISH receiver box. You can hook multiple TVs up that way, but...

    Multiswitch on Dish 500 Legacy Dual LNBF

    I have a Dish 500 with a legacy dual LNBF. Each LNBF has two coax ports. Question 1: Can I run four receiver boxes by using the four ports? Question 2: I just purchased a Pico Macom Tru Spec TSMS2150-4A 3X4 multi switch (40-2150 MHz). One input is "LNB A 13V/14V" and the other input is...

    I only want locals from DishNetwork

    Locals only from Dish I subscribe to SkyAngel, which is a Christian / Family satellite network. It uses the Dish Network equipment, and piggybacks onto their 61.5 satellite. I receive no Dish programming. Recently I lived in Houston. While there, I added the Houston local channels to my...
