    Sky Angel adds CBS College Sports

    Sports may not be considered something as family friendly but if skyangel is goig to reel in the masses and make a profit off this sports channels are a great add as sports is one thing DBS (D* and E* always attracted folks with).

    Review Of Sky Angel Iptv

    Good O' Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) was at one point on Galaxy 5 next to Playboy's channel... TBN's President used to talk about it often during their spring and fall shareathons "you know tonight someone watching playboy on their big dish may come upon the gospel..."

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    They can manage the costs to carry the NFL Network but they cant manage to carry HGTV... hum, I see where their priorites are.

    Is Dish to offer a religious sub pkg

    after SA* goes away and dish has the TPs free to do what they want, they would be stupid not to try and keep some of the SA* customers from leaving....

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    I checked my snail mail the other day (I don't do it enough) and had a piece of mail from skyangel in it had a brochure talking about IPTV but nothing beyond what already was posted on this site and their site about it coming soon.. no channel line up,costs, or nothing saying "DBS is going away...

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    I could not find a mention of DBS on skyangel.com seems like all the links point to the pending IPTV service.. looks like the DBS will be history soon.

    best guess when skyangel sat will end.

    I guess the day that FCC finally approves SA* the ability to transfer the licenses completely to E* .... once that happens they will pull the plug within days if not hours in my opinion.. they seem to want out as quick as possible. It's strange their keeping IPTV so hush hush to their active...

    We have decided to jump ship

    Likely so, that way they can upsale their IPTV service to those that happen to filp by and tune into Angel1 on Dish network.

    Spirit Not Going to Glorystar Very Soon

    The Spirit / TVU feed up on CBand is First generation, ie its uplinked directly from their studios/HQ to CBand and then down linked by Skyangel and others for retransmission. I think what Michael was trying to get at -- to support Glorystar would mean obtaining costly satellite space on a...

    Sky Angel Launches Gospel Music Channel

    It's interesting to see Spirit kicked around like it is... Specially since Spirit was Skyangel and Spirit communcations answer to Praise TV going away a few years ago. GMC is a good addition but I rather have Spirit. GMC seems to be a mix of Everything Gospel where as Spirit focuses on the...

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    I can't speak for SA but I would suspect why things are being handled the way they are is SA has come to the realize that their in trouble and their trying to get out of the hole they have fell into the best way possible even if its an ugly climb out. Mr Johnson passing on, the fact they...

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    After E* and SA part ways they still have to receive the programming some how to convert it to IPTV format. I would assume that they will use their new facility in Cleveland TN to do this since they will no longer have access to E*'s downlink facilities that they presently use.

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    I think one of skyangels concerns with an uplink in Naples would be hurricanes... one womp from a hurricane and if they had been uplinking to E* all skyangel would disaepear..

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    GTN (WSFJ 51) I heard is sent to skyangel via Fiber. I remember a aquaintance here in Columbus telling me years go when they had planned to go on SA that they paid to have fiber installed from their place to get their programming to the E* Uplink for SA.

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    that's likely true. I know for a fact, a lot of TVU and Spirit's viewer ship support comes from the viewers who watch on skyangel... that keeps their uplink bills paid and keeps them avail to skyangel to rebroadcast to their customers. Now the thing that bothers me and i am not singling out...

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    If I am not mistaken, Skyangel does have a mux on one of the Cband sats that currently have Angel 1, Angel 2 and KTV on it according to lyngsat. Cband AMC4 at 101 if I remember right. TVU and Spirit could easly end up on E* if E* is willing to add them.. those two channels have been shopped to...

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    I wouldnt base the canadian channel list on what the US version may end up carrying at this point, as Canadian television services can't carry channels without approval so some of the channels on skyangel US are likely not allowed in canada. It will be interesting to see what is added or...

    SkyAngel Plans Move to IPTV

    This kinda annonys me. I just paid for a year of the secular channels on skyangel's DBS service.. If they shut their DBS service down, I am not going to receive those channels anymore. I would think I would be intitled a refund because I understand while lifelong can go away when the dbs...

    I have nothing against Skyangel wanting a future but I will not pay for an IPTV Service.

    Interesting May Viewer Advisory Board Survey

    I wont sub to sky if they go IPTV only. Consdiering most of the programming on Skyangel is accessable free elsewhere, plus id have to pay for cable hsi or dsl to use IPTV service.

    Spirit Replaces Familyland

    Will be GREAT to see Spirit back, but kinda sad to see another channel leave for them to do so.

    monthly subscribers opt out of special channels?

    I am a life-long sub and as much as I am frustrated by paying for 4 channels when they took 3 channels away from us and have yet to find a way to return them (yes I know about transponder failures etc..) I am going to pay for a year of the 4 channels, I do like HGTV and Fox News so I feel its...
