Any word on SA adding this to go along with NFL Network?

The $9.99 Dish Essentials pack has all of the above channels except Daystar. It includes 3-4 channels that aren't exactly "family friendly," but also has three news channels, the Weather Channel, the Food Channel, HGTV, Boomerang, Discovery Kids, History, TLC, and a few others. Do a search on...

SA sold their DBS licenses to E*, putting them out of the satellite business. It is highly unlikely they would ever be able to purchase such licenses again. It's IPTV or bust now.

Well, I'm thankful for the past 9 years of service. It was a blessing to me and my family. IPTV is not an option for me here, but hopefully, some of you will be able to continue to enjoy the SA service. I wish SA DBS could have continued longer, but I guess this just reinforces the truth...

Well, I called the account specialist at 1-888-773-2162 and added the $9.99 Essentials package today. My Sky Angel channels were turned off, but they go dark in a couple of days anyway. Besides the channels listed in the Essentials Package thread, I get CNN, Headline News, Cartoon Network...

You are correct. You cannot receive Essentials as long as you have ANY other package, including Sky Angel. The only thing that you can have, along with Essentials, is locals. I confirmed this with an Account Specialist via a phone conversation a few days ago. He told me to call back once Sky...

Right now, I can view all three satellites on one receiver. I am using a DP34 multiswitch. I'm pretty sure that if you run a search on this site, you can find something about setting it up.

They won't let me sub to the Essentials package while I have Sky Angel. So the day after SA ends, I'm going to do this. You can use your current receiver. Yes, the dish would have to be re-pointed to get the programming. It's not that difficult to do. Your present dish will probably...

Angel One may not be a PI channel, but it, along with NASA, shows free even on my deactivated receiver.

Well, IMHO, there is quite a bit of acceptable programming on: Hallmark HGTV The Food Channel The History Channel Discovery Kids Boomerang The Weather Channel Bloomberg Other than some occasional shows, those channels won't be blocked at our house. Channels that may have some...

Not HD...standard def. channels only....

I discovered this package now offered by Dish Network: Essential Service Package. It costs $9.99/month and includes: Hallmark HGTV Food Network The Weather Channel Discovery Kids Boomerang The History Channel MSNBC Bloomberg TLC AMC Comedy Central CMT We Oxygen TBS MTV2 and...

Well, I was perusing the net and found this interesting package now offered by Dish Network: Essential Service Package. It costs $9.99/month and includes: Hallmark HGTV Food Network The Weather Channel Discovery Kids Boomerang The History Channel MSNBC Bloomberg TLC AMC Comedy...

Very well written. Echoes my sentiments, too.

Has anyone heard anything more about a special Dish Network package to be offered to former SA customers? There was speculation that we would see something about this after 2/1.......

A whole bunch of these channels are streamed FREE over the internet and/or are available for free via Glorystar: Home - FamilyNet 2.0 Spirit Television Network™ // Watch The Worship Network Gospel Music Television www.streamingfaith.com 3ABN: Christian Television - Three Angels...

Excellent points.

Like elder, I got the brochure about IPTV, but nothing stating that my lifetime membership was being terminated...

At one point, they offered a "Promise Keepers" special--lifetime subscription for $160.00. That offer was in a flyer I got in the mail about a Promise Keepers Conference broadcast on Angel Two, and the offer was good for just a few weeks. This was some time in 1997 or 1998, I think. I didn't...

Ditto. SA has a moral obligation to be forthcoming with their lifetime members, whose money enabled them to get their service started in the first place.

Agreed. I have more than received my money's worth from this service. I will not be joining any lawsuits against Sky Angel. I do believe, however, that Sky Angel has an obligation to their lifetime subscribers--not a LEGAL obligation, but a MORAL one--to do the following: A) Personally...

Well, you certainly won't be seeing that now--I believe that because of the deal SA recently made with E*, SA is giving up their license to operate a satellite platform.

Brother, by no means do I mean this in a contentious way, but I wonder, what if the restauranteer advertises steak and serves you junk food? What if most of his advertisement is found to be fraudulent? What if the food he serves makes many of the customers sick? Do you still feel good about...

But why couldn't they have been upfront about BOTH of those purposes in the letter? It was clear from the letter that they were looking to find which customers wanted the "seculars", with the loss of those 4 channels at stake. It WASN'T clear that they were looking to find lifetime subs (who...

I had communicated with them numerous times in the past five years--didn't stop them from switching my subscription off. But they knew I was there--as I said, I have communicated with them numerous times in the past five years; several times in the past year! They may defend such tactics now...
