If you are getting Dish to receive sky angel, you should be aware that Sky Angel is not planning to be around on dish much longer as they are seeking to transfer their satellite transponder licenses to Dish network and get out of the DBS business. So don't invest in Dish equipment for Sky Angel...

Since Dish is seeking SA's satellite transponder licenses, top dish brass knows, even if the reps don't. Presumably given a choice between holding SA to a year's notice (and who's to say SA hasn't already given Dish brass that notice?) and getting the licenses early, Dish perhaps prefers to get...

Red I have no problem forgiving SA. But you are very one sided, in that you seem to be letting SA off any accountability hook. SA needs to fold up and get out of the christian tv business. They can't gut their DBS business, cheat the prepaid customers of their remaining service, and use the...

I think the reason some people take this more personally than others -- and I'm not saying that's wrong -- is that to some people, SA is not just a DBS service but a ministry in some respects. When they market themselves, it is not entirely as a business. Their mission statement, and public...

They could have done nothing? Oh, please. Lets get out the violins... NOT. First off, the prepaid subscriptions were for a cash boost for startup costs, not supposed to be their business model. They were supposed to use them to get on their feet, then ACTIVELY recruit monthly subs. Yet...

I agree with you entirely. At the very least the prepaid customers must have their DBS subscriptions transferred to IPTV for the life of the existing satellite. Some would expect more, since SA committed to launch a sat in 2002 and did not did so, but they need to make some provisions for...

I agree. I've been a SA livetime subscriber since 2000. I didn't get the service so much for the Christian programming as the family programming. I like the old tv shows, etc, and I liked the educational programming, when they had it. What offends me about SA is their hypocrisy, and the...

I wasn't naive, and gave Sky angel pretty much 50/50 chances. Though I am a bit surprised they failed to make a go of it. Seems to me with the huge audience in this country, they should have managed better. Since they hadn't, I rather expected Sky Angel to fade away once the satellite died...

I think it's better if the religious community holds all companies to an equal standard, and speak with a loud but fair voice when there is a problem. Sweeping it under the rug, tolerating dubious business practices because the company is supposedly Christian, does a lot more harm to honest...

Why is it that whenever these threads pop up regarding dissatisfaction with Sky Angel, someone turns around and criticizes the customers for being unChristian? Without making, by the way, any other substantive contribution to the discussion. That kind of manipulative doublespeak, supposedly in...

They owe lifetime subscribers an IPTV subscription at least as long as the existing satellite is functioning. And IMHO a lifetime one. For the others, what DBS subscriber (lifetime or otherwise) will pay increased rates for sky angel, (and possibly high broadband fees if they don't already...

I sent the paper back, saying that I had dish, wanted sky angel (lifetime member) but didn't want the special 4 as I got them in the top 250. I gave them my receiver numbers. They cut all my service off. This was back a few months ago. i had to give them my receiver info all over again, and it...

I saw the post, but I haven't heard directly. I have asked Sky Angel twice, once in a request for more information on their IPTV, and once in an email to sky angel. It's been three weeks and I have gotten no response. As to whether they can not honor their lifetime memberships at IPTV, it...

I am guilty of not going down to pull my sky angel contract out of the basement files, so I don't know if there is any loophole in the contract re that their obligation is only for DBS services. However, SkyAngel sold lifetime subscriptions to their programming. That skyangel is moving from DBS...

That being the case, they shouldn't continue to offer or sell new lifetime subscriptions. However they should continue to service their existing subs. That is their obligation and committment. These subscriptions weren't "free for life". The subscribers paid in advance. Sky Angel...

If they plan to sell their transponder licenses and disappear, the least they could do is transfer their paid up subscribers, including the lifetime ones, to IPTV for as long as it lasts. That they reportedly won't do even that much for the customers who supported them is truely reprehensible in...
