    Review Of Sky Angel Iptv

    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.

    Review Of Sky Angel Iptv

    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...

    Just Ashamed

    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...

    vip622 using 4 external drives to a hub

    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...

    Just Ashamed

    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.

    vip622 using 4 external drives to a hub

    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...

    New Reseller Website - Sell Sky Angel Site On-Line

    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...

    New SA email offer

    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.

    Sky angel contract

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

    Sky Angel IPTV lineup

    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...

    Cincinnati HD Locals

    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...

    I received my official letter today.

    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...

    811 looses signal if I go to a specific channel

    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...

    I received my official letter today.

    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...

    Has anyone received their box yet?

    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...

    I received my official letter today.

    I have not decided if I am going to join in a class action lawsuit if there is one. All I know is that a lot of lifetime subscribers are receiving their letters and they are highly pissed. I have talked to about half a dozen from our church and besides being lifetime subscribers they have made...

    I received my official letter today.

    Brad, You come across as one of the "know it all" Christians. Telling me that I am "not right" because I don't believe a Christian is the same as what you do and that I should not say what I said. I learned a great deal about Christanity in the military and it is far different from yours...

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    I don't think that the NFL channel itself has those type of ads. The ones that you have seen are likely "vendor insert ads". The satellite and cable companies are allowed to insert their own ads (usualy one, two or three minutes an hour -- depending on the channel) and they get 100 percent of...

    I received my official letter today.

    Brad, I have been a Christian longer than you have likely been alive. On top of that I am a better Christian than you will EVER be! To me, some of the views of God that I seen posted here are just plain silly. Nothing personal, just some views from the real world.

    When is Sky Angel IPTV box going to be shipped?

    You also need to consider the company's history. A lot of broken promises mainly because they have been very poor business people. There is also the "trust factor". Look at the way that they are treating lifetime subscribers. Sky Angel is NOT a company that I would trust or recommend to ANY...

    Should they end this skyangel forum

    It doesn't matter if it is here or in the IPTV forum (where it should be after satellite service shuts down). There just needs to be one so that we can warn potential subscribers what type of company that they are dealing with. My bet is that they won't be around two years from now.

    When is Sky Angel IPTV box going to be shipped?

    I really can't believe that you people are going with Sky Angel's IPTV service. First, there is the way Sky Angel is treating their lifetime subscribers. Second, look at what they did with their IPTV service in Canada. They cut it off with very little notice to the customers. A lot of people...

    Help me decide...

    No suggestion on if you should go with DISH but I HIGHLY suggest that you NOT go with Sky Angel's IPTV service (yes, I am a screwed over lifetime subscriber). You won't be able to use DISH receivers to receive ANY of the FTA channels. Your only choice if you want 3ABN is to get a FTA...

    I received my official letter today.

    I don't think that your God is going to get involved in this (are some of you people really that naive?). Its up to you to decide what you are going to do and I already know what I am going to do. My lawyer has been asking for months about something in writing from Sky Angel about cancelation...

    Bad news regarding Dish and "DRM"

    Scott is absolutely right. We need to tell the programmers NO. We also need to tell our satellite companies to stand up to the programmer and tell them that this is completely unacceptable to their subscribers. If this happens on a lot of content it is going to really, really hurt the video...
