I guess that's what happens when you buy something that says "lifetime". You're taking a chance on something. And for some people this may have not worked out.
Kinda like in the free to air world when people purchase a years worth of programming for a subscription channel (Globecast World TV has a bunch of ethnic channels you can purchase) and a month later that channel either goes free to air (unencrypted) or ceases.
Too late now but I think if SA could have gone FTA on a Faith package offering while offering a scrambled Family package for revenue we would be looking an an entirely better situation for all. I'm supposing that's where building a new satellite came into play? Though from our experience now nothing free to anyone was ever their consideration post Bob Sr.
I guess it all depends on what kind of box they were considering for $350 - $400 was. I was thinking it was the unsubsidized Dish box but that also seems to be in line with a FTA setup. Or maybe they were talking about an entirely different box?
All in all it appears to me the biggest frustration was in playing too close to the vest. There have been many suggestions offered just on these boards. Had the Christian community been more aware of the plight maybe we could have come up with better alternatives and saved them some of that high priced consultant money.
Sorry but I have to mention this! No one really has yet that I've read. But if this
truly was God's project then who failed? IPTV Canada failed, DBS failed, so did God make a mistake? Or was the mistake in listening to worldly council?? You gotta wonder.
I mean if you believe in miracles, and you believe that the Gospel of the Kingdon is to be preached to the whole world, how is ministering to a small segment of better to do Christians accomplishing that? I think we just may have the root of the problem here! Unless of course you believe the 3rd world will suddenly gain broadband access overnight.
