I have two Sky Angel IPTV boxes. One of the boxes is directly connected to the TV in the den, and it has a 75-foot ethernet cable. The other box is in the bedroom, and it has an RF-modulator connected to it, and from there, coax cable running all over the house to the other TVs. That box has...

Still getting buffering problems. Here's how I've dealt with it: 1. Called Sky Angel. They moved me to a different server, which helped. 2. Increased my internet speed. I still sometimes get buffering problems. Whenever it happens, I run the speed test, and I find that I am usually...

You don't sound like the kind of person who was interested in Sky Angel anyway.

Here's what I did to eliminate buffering -- it is rare since I did this. I have four computers and two IPTV boxes. I have a Linksys Cable/DSL router, and a Linksys 5-port switch. I plugged the two IPTV boxes and the switch into the router. Then I plugged all of the computers into the...

I plugged in my first IPTV box directly to the router, and it had some issues, but they were quickly resolved by Sky Angel tech support. I plugged in my second IPTV box directly to the router, and it worked instantly. Wired is more reliable than wireless, less prone to errors. Having said...

First thing I'd do is to call my credit card company and tell them that my card has been stolen, and can they give me a different card number. Then perhaps you can get a "disposable" credit card number for paying DISH in the future.

When I first got Sky Angel IPTV, my box was continually buffering. The Sky Angel technician put me on a server which was closer to my city, and the buffering problem went away. Later, I had a buffering problem, but for a different reason. I then figured out how to give priority to the IPTV...

If you had Sky Angel satellite, then you already have coax cable running around the house. All you need is an RF modulator (costs $10.00 at Family Dollar), and a good quality splitter, and you can WATCH Sky Angel all over the house. Here's my setup: I have "limited basic" cable TV for the...

I failed to mention in the above posting that my IPTV boxes are connected to the router! Basically, there are three devices hooked to my router: my two IPTV boxes, and my switch. Then all of the computers are hooked to the switch. That's why each device hooked to the router gets 1/3 of...

If you're IPTV box is continually buffering, here's a solution: If you have only one computer, this won't work. If you have more than one computer, get a switch and connect it to your broadband router. Connect all of your computers to the switch. In this way, your computers will get a...

MellowYBird: I mentioned in another posting that years ago, NBC and PAX began some sort of affiliation, and that was the time that PAX (now ION) began to show inappropriate programming. I am seriously wondering if NBC didn't like the fact that PAX was very popular (i.e. a competitor), and so...

Perry Mason is generally a good show for my kids to watch, since they are both teenagers. Matlock is usually good, but there are occasional moments when they present cohabitation as an acceptable thing, or when they use a bad word. When my kids were young, they weren't allowed to watch any of...

Sky Angel is well worth the money, imho. :up As far as your sister getting Sky Angel, I've been trying to convince all of my Christian friends that they should have Sky Angel. So far, only my sister-in-law is going to sign up. One other person says that he will sign up right away, but he...

You can probably get most or all of the radio channels via the internet. But it is handy getting them on all of my TVs. I think that for Fox News, TVU, KTV/Spirit, Faith TV, HGTV, and Hallmark, it is well worth it.

Sky Angel offers IPTV in Canada. Sure would be nice if it was also available in the US.
