I was quite surprised and pleased to receive my check from SkyAngel Sat. yesterday for $53 and change as a refund for my yearly subscription. Katybug

I called in February and was told I should receive a refund for the remaining months on my yearly subscription in 4-6 weeks. Nothing so far. Katybug

I toyed with the idea of going to Dishnetwork for their DishFamily package or the Essential Service, but hesitated since several people I know have had a bad experience with Dish in this area. So we have stuck with our Digital OTA, which has approximately 20 channels(4 of these are Ion and it's...

I was also a yearly subscriber to SkyAngel DBS. I couldn't remember exactly when I paid my yearly fee, but I looked it up in my check register and called them in February and spoke to a Customer Service Rep and asked for a refund and she was very nice and told me how much I would be sent and...

Scroll, that is a good point about not currently being a dishnetwork customer, so possibly not being eligible to get the Essential Service package. However, I never really was a Dishnetwork customer, only Sky Angel. From watching the posts, it seems as if SkyAngel customers have been able to get...

I have been watching the posts to see what everyone ends up doing after SkyAngel DBS ended. It seems to me that a good number of them are going to the DishNetwork Essential Services pack, which has pricing that is similar to SkyAngel. I have not yet made a decision and have just been using...

I am a former SkyAngel DBS customer who did not go with IPTV. However, I get the worship network as a digital channel as a substation of ION. In our area, it is channel 67-04. I love the music, and it also carries some children's programming on Saturday. My youngest son loves Kingsley's Meadow...

My LNB is WIDE. Thanks for the clarification. Katybug

My LNB is wide. I am sorry, I am trying to grasp the technical terms and am not getting it all the time, but I am trying. Katybug

Has anyone who had only SkyAngel DBS made the move to Dish for the Essential Service or Dishfamily? I have been wanting to make this call, but my Dad is in the hospital and I have just not had the chance. I was hoping my current Dish(Dish 500 dual LNB) would work and am wondering what kind of...

LisaA, thanks for the detailed info about your switch. I am also a former SkyAngel DBS subscriber, but I have been busy lately with my father in the hospital, so I haven't had a chance to call DishNetwork and inquire about the essential service package. Thanks especially for the info about your...

Yes, it is gone. I watched Murder She Wrote on Hallmark for the last time and when it was over at 12 pm Eastern, I got a screen saying Sky Angel service ended on 3/31. I do still have 3ABN coming in, but I suppose that is just temporary. Katybug

Thanks everyone for the tips on tuning the dish to 119. I am saving the info. I did not have a clue about anything about satellite before tuning into these forums, except that I have one on my roof and when I turned on the TV, I had it there:) So, I have gotten quite the education. I have also...

What Public Access Channels are currently on Sky Angel? 3ABN? Any others? Katybug

Thanks for the comments rv1pop. I would like to try for my husband and I to set up Glorystar, but we are not technical at all and the safest way would be to get install, but it would take longer to save up and get it installed. We are current Sky Angel satellite customers who will be without...
