    Sky Angel New Receiver

    No value or use unless you want to keep it in case the new one goes out, my first white box lasted only a few weeks or so, & it took over a month to get a replacement.

    Sky Angel Update - Going to be HD Capable!

    The older receiver will continue to work the same way it does now, it will not be able to receive the new software which is to have a new guide and also to solve the retrieving issues. Picture is somewhat better with the newer receiver, but there is no real need to change until you are sure...

    I should have said in my post upbove that you can pick programs from the TiVo guide to record, but you have to make sure the SA white box is on the correct channel since the remote code is not in the TiVo data base. Doing that mean you do not have to set up manual recordings in the TiVo.

    Sky Angel Update - Going to be HD Capable!

    I agree somewhat with you, because I too only subscribe to the family package, I did contact SA about that and was told they had not made a decision on whether current subscribers would be able to just keep that package or would be required to upgrade. If we have to upgrade then that makes...

    Copyright protection on Box

    You can not do what you are asking with a VCR, the copy protection is in the white box, the reason is a VCR is used to copy content, not just for time shifting. You can use a TiVo series 2 DVR to record the white box by setting up manual recording times, the TiVo can not change channels on the...

    Yes you can record on Tivo with the white box, I do it every day, however the Tivo can not change channels on the SA box, you have to do that yourself, so one could say they are correct because of this issue. I have had the white box for almost a year now, during that time I have contacted both...

    Yes you can, I have the white box svideo, red & white audio going into a series 2 Sony Tivo, then from the Tivo svideo & audio going into a 42" Sony tv, also from the Sony Tivo other svideo & audio output I have going down 35' to a 46" Sony tv in my Media room. I also have a 35' HDMI cable...

    You can record onto a series 2 Tivo, but can not transfer the recordings to a pc, vcr, etc. You should be able to purchase a series 2 Tivo with lifetime off ebay for $100 or so. I have tired many times to get SA & Tivo to add remote code for the new White box, so the Tivo can change channels...

    Sky Angel Update - Going to be HD Capable!

    I don't think so, the way I understand what the letter was saying is it will work like Netflix does now, test your speed then deliver whatever quality your DSL speed will allow.

    Sky Angel launches PIXL

    Anyone else notice that the picture quality is not very good on PixL, also Hallmark channels have similar issue, no where near GMC, Fox, or most of the others. Also the sound is much lower on the PixL channel. Somewhat disappointing.

    AT&T DSL Caps effects on my Sky Angel

    Yesterday I changed my DSL provider from AT&T to Earthlink. So when that takes place we will see how that works. Earthlink does cost a little more, but does not have any caps at this time. Earthlink so far is at least 30% faster than my Att was, all I had to do is change log in info on...

    AT&T DSL Caps effects on my Sky Angel

    Thanks for info & trying. I have gone back to the old receiver just so the TiVo could change channels, but there is no kind of stop feature. It does look like SA would update thier software from time to time & try to keep up with todays other systems. It seems they are content to provide...

    AT&T DSL Caps effects on my Sky Angel

    Yes, I have a FTA system that does the same thing as the Glorystar system does, but they do not carry any of the channels both a couple of the channels I use, and of course not the Fox Channels.

    AT&T DSL Caps effects on my Sky Angel

    Not quite sure, how would I get to the timeout settings? Are you saying to set the time out setting to a little longer than program to record, then when the TiVo puts the channel in to record it should wake up SA and go to that channel?

    AT&T DSL Caps effects on my Sky Angel

    Since the DSL caps start this month with AT&T I will be forced to leave SA. Due to the fact I have to leave the SA receiver on in order to record on TiVo. My monthly usage far exceed the limit, which most likely will mean an extra $20 a month, that will bring my total expense for TV to...

    Got SkyAngel today

    The PVR function works ok, this does not function on the Family channels, the guide is very basic, no program description other than name of program, always in Military time & Eastern time zone. I would not consider being locked into any type of time frame.

    Sky Angel - Movies

    That depends on what you want. The religious channels are more on the liberal side with todays type of upbeat music, if you're more on the conservative side religious things & music, not much there except a channel or two. As far as the other channels they are more Hunting, Fishing, Sports...

    Sky Angel - Movies

    I have AT&T DSL, there is no other choice since I live in a rural area. I've been on difference servers, it used to be the New York server was best for me, but thats not the case now, doesn't seem to matter.

    Consider your self very lucky if you can watch anything in the evening on SA without major buffering issues.

    Sky Angel Wish List

    My wish list would be for SA to correct some of the issues with their service before adding anything new. Such as: 1. Make their service more reliable - no buffering issues. 2. Make all outputs on receivers usable at once. 3. Improve the software, guide info, time zone changes allowed...

    Sky Angel New Receiver

    Okay, I had not noticed that. they have to get SD up to a higher level with lower signal level before thinking about HD

    Got SkyAngel today

    Just because there is a HDMI output does not indicate HD, most of the newer FTA satellite SD receivers have HDMI outputs, but do not have component outputs. Sky Angel would have to correct buffering issues they currently have with SD before they could consider HD.
