    SA* News..Halmark to move and HGTV news

    The more I think about it, the more I want a more complete renumbering of the SkyAngel offerings to better showcase / separate the "family" channels from the religious channels. Moves I'd make: 9732 Worship TV to 9704 (near TVU and Spirit, right after KTV) 9718 Fox News to 9720 9713...

    Ok, so who is not telling the truth?

    Perhaps they mean AFTER editing for Hallmark. Now we have an EPG it is easier to see the descriptions and orginal ratings for the shows (and the ratings locks will now work - as well as those locks ever do work). Although with all those R rated movies tomorrow, perhaps they are just Reruns? JL

    HGTV Question

    Rumors: 9720 (Currently FeTV) is not on new promotional literature that includes HGTV The last three changes (FNC, Hallmark, Hallmark Movies) were on the existing channel numbers of the channels replaced - so the no so wild guess is 9720. Maybe next week on the EPG/Program Guide changes. They...

    What is going on with His Kids Radio ?

    I hope it's technical. His Kids Radio is cool. JL

    Say Adiós to Fe TV

    Fe TV is the one that will be leaving SkyAngel to make room for HGTV. I got a mailer today promoting the new channels. All of the new ones were listed and FeTV is not on the list. JL

    i like the changes

    Generally accepting of them, more positive at times than others. "The Dominion" has ticked me off occasionally, first by trading away bandwidth in a deal that restricted religious content on E*. Seekers are more likely to subscribe to E* than SkyAngel, including teens could be ministered to in...

    i like the changes

    Reminds me of the old song, "better than that". God wants our BEST and not our better than. "Hallmark and Fox News is better than MTV" is a step toward "sure I slept with my sister, but I didn't post the video we made on the Internet - I'm better than that!" SEVERAL steps before, but a step...

    I called Sky Angel today...

    The addition of the general market channels must be adding a little stress to the employees. I'd say my sign-up experience was less than professional. I couldn't get a new accounts person on the phone menu and after being on hold a while I was sent to some guy apparently in tech support that...

    Gospel Music Television will be history soon -- Hallmark Movie Channel coming soon!

    Lesson 1: Never let an employee register a domain in a personal name unless you want to lose control. JL

    Gospel Music Television will be history soon -- Hallmark Movie Channel coming soon!

    That is an assumption, and a bad one at that. Mutual agreement only means they accepted their fate, not that they wanted off "just as much". The Dominion is moving in a new and different direction. It is a shame that new 'family' channels cost them a religious channel of any sort. But that...

    I wonder if Fox News is temporary?

    See here. Is the Fox News Channel now on Sky Angel a mistake? No. In keeping with our desire to provide the highest quality service to you, our subscriber, Sky Angel has a new agreement with Fox News Channel to make its news channel available to Sky Angel subscribers 24 hours a day, seven...

    Fox News, umm, no thank you.

    At least being Catholic is a world recognized religion. Although I am not, and I do get the heebee jeebees when I hear someone pray to Mary. Then again, I get the same heebees when someone speaks in tounges for no apparent reason except for show. I've never watched "Familyland" --- I did...

    Fox News, umm, no thank you.

    E* and D* are what they are and are not pretending to be any better (morally) than any other service. SkyAngel *IS* prentending, er claiming, to be morally better than *all* other services. By making that claim they have brought the spotlight of scrutany on themselves. For years E* has been...

    Fox News, umm, no thank you.

    I'm a new subscriber and I have joined 'the board' but have yet to receive a single request for my opinion. Since I joined the 'missing channel' in the lineup of 36 became Faux News and two religious channels have been replaced by "family" entertainment. I knew that SkyAngel was considering...

    Fox News, umm, no thank you.

    Which is why there NEEDS to be one. :D I can't even say that FNC is any less offensive in content than the rest of the options. The only thing that places FNC above the others for inclusion on a 'religious' service is it's conservative slant. :) JL

    Hallmark Movie Channel now on Sky Angel

    Is Hallmark Movie Channel on any other service? It seems that they are marketing themselves to cable and DBS, but SkyAngel is the first DBS to take the plunge. Perhaps once they get more viewers they will be able to sell and show more commercials. :( JL

    Fox News, umm, no thank you.

    There needs to be a family friendly news service. Fox isn't it. JL

    Any changes in the radio channel???

    Salem Radio has a 'Christian' talk feed that might work. (homepage here) USA Radio has a 24hr network too. (homepage here) Both networks are popular on Christian stations. Salem Radio is the provider of the Today's Christian Music and Solid Gospel feeds on SkyAngel. These music feeds are...

    Fox News Added To Sky Angel!

    Apparently E* isn't restricting SA as much as earlier reported. Personally I paid for 36 channels of Christian programming - for SA to waste space on one of their transponders for ANY secular network lessens the value of my subscription. I have no objection to SA having an OPTIONAL "cable...

    Why does it take Skyangel 4 days (business) to activate channels?

    The good news is that they won't charge until the channels are authorized. JL

    Why does it take Skyangel 4 days (business) to activate channels?

    SA is supposed to get direct access to the authorization stream. Then again, SA is supposed to launch their own satellite and build and operate their own uplink. The cost of being at the mercy of E* to even BE a service is sometimes high. JL

    Dominion/Sky Angel Gives Support to a la Carte

    I'm sorry you see it that way. I'm also sorry that you can't back up your baseless claim that E* is not in full compliance. But mostly I'm sorry that SkyAngel decided to get mixed up in a legal issue, and we are discussing the merits and bad effects of their court presentations instead of...

    Dominion/Sky Angel Gives Support to a la Carte

    I won't give you a fact by fact rebuttal as it would be worthless to you. Sky Angel made the decision to spiritualize their BUSINESS operation. Sky Angel made the decision to enforce their block on the spread of the Gospel by suing E*. Don't mistake Sky Angel for anything more than it is - a...

    Dominion/Sky Angel Gives Support to a la Carte

    If you don't know please hold off on the wild accusations that E* is not fully in compliance. Thanks. Are you using D* as an abbreviation for the Dominion? If so, please stop now. D* is used for DirecTV. E* is EchoStar (DishNetwork) and V* is Voom. SkyAngel MUST work with E*, since they have...
