I happened to notice today that my autopay amount went up on my Dish Network bill. The bill now has a KY surcharge of $1.30 on it. I noticed the sales tax increased by a few pennies also. I contacted Dish Network. The CSR really couldn't provide much of an answer. The gist of her reply was the...

Well I got my October bill. Dish Network charged me a $95 installation fee for the new "free" antenna that the CSR told me I needed. I had two perfectly good dishes aimed at 110 & 119 before they installed my new Dish 500. At this point Dish's "welcome" package experience is making me want to...

My new dish was installed and my new programming package (welcome with locals) arrived on Friday. My old DishPix channels continued to show up as active on my programming guide. I checked my account online and found Dish had added the welcome package to my account but had not removed DishPix. It...

The satellite signal falls on a house whether the occupant is a customer or not. Although I applaud Dish for making an effort to move DishPix customers to other packages, the simple fact is they are making money off every customer they keep. That is especially true of all of us long term...

I called Dish at the number contained in the e-mail. The first time I called the CSR offered me America's Top 120 at $19.99. When I balked he offered me the Welcome Package at $9.99. After looking at what was included with each I called back today. Today's CSR quoted me $24.99 for the Top 120...

Dish sent me an e-mail on Thursday which told me they were pulling the plug on DishPix. I find it odd they didn't say anything about it on my Sept. 5 bill, which provides service through Oct. 19. I'm set up for autopay. I'm considering waiting to see if the charge will post on the 25th and if...

In my neck of the woods the only educational institution that broadcasts is a 100,000 watt NPR affiliate owned by my employer--a state university. Without Christian radio nothing would be around it on the FM radio dial. Since the Christian radio stations in my area are listener-supported the...

As a lifetime subscriber I was disappointed to see SkyAngel disappear, but life has gone on. I have had Dishpix since 1998 so I have been watching more of it. Dish activated Angel 2, KTV and TBN as public information channels so I'm still able to see all the Christian TV I want. The programs...

I have the $10/month AT&T plan. It was created as part of the BellSouth/SBC/AT&T merger. It seems this was a condition for the Feds allowing the deal to go through. Although the low cost plan is too slow for IPTV I will probably cancel when the $10 rate expires and is moved to $19.95. My guess...

After skimming over the FCC report I still haven't formed an opinion on their proposals. The world of broadcasting has changed since the days of the fairness doctrine. This website is one example of the changing face of communications. Some of their ideas seem to have merit, but I'm not sure the...

Free faith channels? SkyAngel should consider a business model where it would sell boxes and allow unsubscribed boxes to access a basic collection of faith channels. Features such as video on demand, viewing previous 48 hrs of programming, and secular channels could be sold as upgrades to those...

Although my internet connection isn't fast enough to use SkyAngel IPTV I have noticed that much of the religious programming is available online from the individual ministry websites. All the religious programs I had watched on satellite are available online at no cost. (One church service I...

I am surprised to see the number of posts have declined. I figured by now several discussions would have popped up from those who made the transition to IPTV. I'm not surprised to see that most of us satellite viewers have left the forum. A large amount of posts prior to the end of satellite...

SkyAngel would have done well to pursue both IPTV & satellite. Each communications method can attract customers that are unable to use the other one. Some folks don't have high speed internet; others may not have the ability to put a dish in a place where it can see a satellite. With SkyAngel...

I have Dishpix (an old, discontinued ala carte programming package). Until I called and asked to have the public interest channels turned on only Angel 1, channel 262, worked. KTV and Angel 2 were both red on my onscreen guide. After SkyAngel bit the dust I moved my 61.5 dish so it could see the...

I called and had the Public Interest channels added to my existing Dish account. Between Angel 1, Angel 2, KTV and TBN I will have adequate Christian programming. I found that 1-888-773-2162 was more helpful in getting PI channels added than the phone number on Dish's website. As I prepared...

I figured the shutdown would occur at 11:59 p.m. eastern time so I tuned in to see what would happen. I noticed some channels remained on a few minutes longer than others. I left SAFE TV to see what other "survivors" were out there. When I returned a few moments later their signal had also been...

Farewell SkyAngel satellite. You will be missed. Angel One is still active on my 119 dish. Anyone know if Angel 2 and KTV are available on the 110 satellite as free channels, like Angel 1?

I'm Southern Baptist. On the poll I picked evangelical. Of course, in Western Kentucky mainline is probably equally accurate. My home county has 20-25 Southern Baptist churches out of a population of a little more than 13,000. That doesn't count the other flavors of Baptists, Methodists, etc.

I suspect the legal relationship between the SkyAngel satellite operations and the IPTV business was worked out to greatly limit the chance that the new company would have any liability from unhappy lifetime subscribers. That is why you hire lawyers. When I purchased my SkyAngel lifetime...

I noticed the message and called the 888 number. The Dish Network customer service rep. on the other end had no idea what I was talking about. In fact, she had no idea what Sky Angel was. She did try to sell me the Dish 100 package. I'm not sure what the purpose of calling the number was. The...

Since my last post I have switched from dialup to AT&T DSL light. Although it is too slow to run SkyAngel IPTV, I can't complain about the $10 per month charge. Between now and the end of March I plan to watch and record SkyAngel satellite programming for viewing once the channels go dark...

I'm still not sure that we have heard the last of this issue. Although I'm disappointed that SkyAngel, and my lifetime membership, appear to be going away, I'm still reviewing my options. Some of my favorite programs are available for download from the ministries' websites. Some channels...

I called SkyAngel customer service when I saw in the mailout that Angel 2 and KTV would still be available. The person I spoke to wasn't able to give me any firm information about this announcement. She didn't know if the channels would remain on the current satellite or move to a different one...

bmer makes a good point. I thought about how my reaction to SkyAngel would look to non-Christians reading comments on this website before I started posting. I'm disappointed that my lifetime membership is nearing the end of its life. I purchased my lifetime subscription after the free...
