No way, unless Scott or Tony tells me to stop. Everyone that reads this forum needs to hear from both sides. IMO, those of you that think that Sky Angel is a honest, trustworthy company have your head in the sand.

Scott, That is not how I see it at all. Sky Angel has signed their own death warrant by NOT honoring lifetime subscriptions. As I posted in another thread, MANY people don't seem to realize how many of us lifetime subscriber were supporting Sky Angel with yearly (or more often) donations...

Really Bob? Let me give you a hint then. Sky Angel's motive is money. They thought that Lifetime subscribers would just accept their "justification" for ending their service and pay again for IPTV service. Some of us lifetime subscribers just don't see it that way. We paid for Lifetime Sky...

If you have a USB switch the way is works is that when you switch from one drive to another one you first get the message that a USB device has been disconnected (the 853 popup) and then about 5 - 15 seconds latter you get the message (the 652 popup) that a multimedia device has been connected...

I don't think that Jesus would allow Sky Angel to get away with what they are doing. Even Jesus got pissed off at those that cheated others. Remember the "cast off" at the temple? We are in the same boat. It is very wrong to allow Sky Angel to get away with cheating lifetime subscribers.

USB hubs will NOT work on a 622 or 722. As P. Smith said you need a USB switch. I am using one on each of my ViP receivers (I have a total of 7 USB drives on the two receivers). I am using this model. With this switch you also need to use "b" to "a" adapters for each drive you attach to...

Scott, I think that is a very smart decision to NOT sell Sky Angel. Given the way that they are going to treat their lifetime subscribers I seriously doubt if they will be in business in a couple of years. Also, they are going to have very serious legal fees for the class action lawsuit that...

I got the spam mail too. Twice I have requested NOT to get mailing from them. Apparently, they are not honest enough to even honor those requests.

Kskyangel, Some of us are more tired of your troll posts "beating up" other people. Not very "Christian like".

Kevin, Maybe that is the problem. You aren't a customer nor did you pay for a lifetime subscription that kept their service alive all these years like many of us did. You just can't see things from our side. What is unfair is the way that Sky Angel is treating lifetime customers. It is...

And in February, 2009, WKRC-DT (now on UHF channel 31) is going to VHF channel 12 (were WKRC-TV is now). DISH could not come to an agreement with the parent company of at least one of the Cincinnati stations. That is why we were "skipped". As for not being on their RADAR, that is just...

DVRs have so many advantages over programs available via IPTV (only available for 48 hours) the "contest" isn't even close. For those of us that have had DVRs since 1999 it is another reason not to even consider IPTV service now. That not only applies to SKy Angel's service but ANY IPTV...

Nick (ch 170) is on transponder 16 from the 119 satellite so you need to check the signal strength on that transponder (menu, 6, 1, 1). If the signal is low your dish may need adjusting. If you see the signal jumping around it could be, as ajg1950 said, a cable or a connector problem. Also...

Kevin, Yes, telephone service was subsidied but, not by the government, but by business customers (and that is still true in some area today for landline phone companies). The govenment permitted telephone companies to charge businesses MUCH higher rates than the actual cost of service in...

What everyone needs to consider is that sometime down the road a lot of internet providers are going to start charging by usage (Time Warner is testing this in Texas). IPTV has very high usage and what may cost you $40 a month NOW, may cost $100 a month down the road (based on the rate charts...
