Finally! Yes! Bring it on! I want the Elvis channel...and the NBA...on my XM! I know we're probably a year away from hybrid receivers, but I'm glad we finally know where they're going so the manufacturers can start building the next-gen receivers. They've been stuck in a rut for most of the...

"However, Bradley does have a point that Christian radio stations are overrepresented on the non-commercial educational band (87.9-91.9 MHz). I don't think abusing the FCC to force college radio and NPR stations off the air is how Jesus would want the gospel spread." I respectfully disagree and...

I voted DirecTV because we've had them in-house for five years now anyway...and they do have a pretty decent selection of Christian channels now (including four Christian XM channels). As soon as we have a better Internet solution (c'mon Clearwire!!!), I'll be happy (I hope) to have Sky Angel...

Sorry 'bout that! - It was a personal reflection. I'm just kind of fatigued because if you happen to have an appreciation for Christian radio like I do, there hasn't been much good news for the last year or so. Sky Angel's change in direction has a lot to do with that.

Here's the link to the FCC proposal: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-07-218A1.pdf First Sky Angel DBS goes bye-bye and now this. I've been hearing for 30+ years about one alarmist announcement after another where supposedly some atheistic group is trying to do away with...

Nope - no Vineyard churches here! "Church of the Nazarene." Our Nazarene church rocks too...but only in the second service! :D (It's a "worship style" joke for any of those who...never mind!)

What type of church do I attend? I was a member of a multi-denominational mission team about 20 years ago and we were asked that question a lot. It didn't take long before we invented a team response: "Prespicostal!" No disrespect intended - talkin' denomination is a useful springboard, but...

Well...crud! It's been a good seven years or so for me and my family. Maybe when we get a real broadband provider that reaches our house, I'll join SA in IPTV-Land. They may pick up more urban customers, but left me wanting - that's for sure. I do wish Dominion and their customers (former...

I'm one of the first-year lifetime subscribers - paid for the lifetime membership back when I lived in a house that couldn't get the signal from 61.5. I did that because I wanted to make sure I was able to (a) invest in their idea, and (b) partake in their services once we moved. We moved in...

Sky Angel IPTV Early Adopters - I need to ask a question of you. This relates to audio programming. I have read that you cannot "go back" and "pvr" a radio program from the past 48 hours like you can the television channels because they use a different streaming technology to deliver audio...

Ahhhhh...life is good! Well, "better" anyway! If they got the Worship Network and Bott Radio Network on DirecTV, I wouldn't miss Sky Angel anymore either. I know that pigs will fly before Bott is on DirecTV but Worship Network...? Can't you make that work Mr. Paxton???

If HughesNet is not compatible, I wonder if WildBlue is going to have problems. It certainly is odd that HughesNet doesn't work when they've been pitching to sell them on their web site for the last few months.

Hey, here's one more that might be considered. "Skylight Network" is Northwestern College's radio station that is also used as a feed for several Christian radio stations. A local station here uses them at night and they sound great and have an excellent balance of music, news & ministry...

IMHO - That's a good list! I came here this morning to add "NRB Network" to my list of what I'd like to see on G*. When I saw JCourt's list, I just wanted to say: "Yeah! That would be really good!" And I would add K-Love & WAY-FM too...but I've pitched for those enough already!
