    What to do with old Sky Angel/Dish system?

    If you plug the holes and mount it on a pole you can use the dish as a bird bath.

    Additional Channels?

    I can't comment on Sky Angel IPTV since I don't subscribe to it but if you want to subscribe to a paid satellite service you might want to consider Direct TV over Dish. Direct has a family package that will give you more Christian channels than Dish does. Also, you can get 5 channels in HD if...

    Poll: What type of church do you attend?

    I've never attended a mega-church so I can't comment on that but I do live in a small community and I can tell you just because it is a rural area doesn't mean the back stabbing doesn't occur. In most of the small towns, if you can't trace your roots back to the founding fathers of the...

    Poll: What type of church do you attend?

    I am one who stated that I don't attend church. My wife and I have tried numerous churches. The hypocrisy we found in each one astounded us. Not a single one that we attended was respectful to the Lord. Lots of gossiping, backstabbing, people on power trips, people talking during the service...

    Fate of Sky Angel Channels on Dish Network

    I just checked Dish's web site. They have added Angel 2 at channel 264 and KTV at channel 264. The web site shows these were only added to the AT100 and up packages, not to Dish Family.

    Important News - Press Info!

    I just chatted with a Dish rep. He was kind of ambiguous about what was going on but I think I finally figured it out. If you go to the Dish web site (DISH Network -- Home) and look up the different programming packages, it shows that from the AT100 package on up they are adding Angel 2 (channel...

    What will you do when Sky Angel DBS ends?

    Dish is going to have to do better than that to keep me. Direct TV has way more Christian programming than Dish does. There was a thread elsewhere on this board that stated that Dish uplinked Angel 2 and KTV to one of their satellites so I am hanging in with them for a while to see what they are...

    New SA email offer

    I received the same email today except I never requested any info about their IPTV service. They are apparently spamming existing customers.

    SA is the middleman

    You might want to write ceo@xxx.com (xxx=echostar). I've found that they are the only CSRs who really know what is going on in that company. The last time I talked to them they said Dish was considering adding a religious package. That was 2 months ago.

    Reminder from Dish to Pay Your Bill?

    As I understand it, you must have at least one programming package with Dish. Currently Dominion Programming (aka Sky Angel) counts as a programming package. Once Sky Angel goes dark you will be required to either pick a programming package like Dish Family or your service will be turned off. At...

    No Offers From Dish?

    Are there any Dish insiders on this board who know if Dish is going to offer a religious package after SA goes dark?

    No Offers From Dish?

    I chatted with a Dish rep about a month ago. He indicated that Dish was looking into offering a religious package but that a firm decision had not been made. I'm not sure where the 2/1 date came from but it's my understanding that Dish has a contract with SA that prohibits Dish from offering...

    Bye

    We almost bit on that Direct TV deal too but we didn't want to get stuck with another 18 month contract so we will stay with Dish for now. If Dish doesn't come up with a decent Christian programming package soon, we are considering going to FTA (Glorystar) with an OTA antenna and dumping Dish.

    Sky Angel Petition

    It may be bigger than you think. The last time I had conversation with a CSR at ceo@echostar.com, he mentioned that Dish was taking a serious look at adding a Christian programming package after SA goes away. Apparently I'm not the only one who wrote to them asking for it.

    Sky Angel Petition

    Dish HAS to do something or they will lose Christian customers to Direct, who has a much better Christian television lineup.

    Let's be proactive in this...

    I agree with everything Corkykn states except that you should email ceo@echostar.com, not the email address given for customer service on the web site. I tried that and got nowhere. I emailed the ceo address and received a response within 4 hours. By the way, they stated they are contemplating a...

    Satellite Viewer Advisory Board Discontinued.

    Got my answer from the Echostar rep at ceo@echostar.com. He said Dish is considering putting together a Christian programming package similar to Sky Angel that would debut about the same time that Sky Angel discontinues service. He said he would email me when he has more information.

    Satellite Viewer Advisory Board Discontinued.

    We are thinking of jumping to Direct because they have more Christian channels than Dish but would prefer to stay with Dish because we no longer have a contract with them. I contacted Dish customer service about the Christian family package. They said nothing is planned as far a adding that...

    Is Dish to offer a religious sub pkg

    I talked to Dish customer service yesterday. They said they had no plans at this point to offer a religious sub package. After I talked to that rep, I emailed ceo@echostar.com to see if they came up with a different answer. The rep returned my email in the afternoon. He stated that E* is...

    best guess when skyangel sat will end.

    They aren't really lowering the price for annual subscribers. Spread out over 12 months it is the same per month cost as I was paying for the annual sub.
