hello everyone. we chose d* when we signed up for satellite because they had more religious content than our local cable company or dish. there's so much trash (imo) on tv now, it's nice to have a decent selection of family content. my family is interested in praise tv and the worship network, how is the best way to attempt to get these channels added to d* lineup? also, is there any way to subscribe to just the religious channels, as i don't like some of the trash on the other channels.
 
Obviously you didnt look at Sky Angel, which uses Dish Equipment. They have the most Christian stuff among cable, Dish or Direct

www.skyangel.com

as for the other, Dish & Direct do have a family pack

Hey, that's an opinion that's just as valid as someone wishing there was more Christian content.

I happen to agree with Hogarth 100%.

And as for the "trash on the other channels" you should be glad it's there, because without it D* couldn't survive and you wouldn't have any Christian channels at all.
 
I personally wish DirecTV would remove their exisiting "Christian" content, but the FCC considers racketeering televangelists public-interest programming so they are forced to carry it.

They use religion and Christianity, to become video pan handlers.
 
Im not against the christian channels. Im against having to subscribe to them. I would love to be able to get rid of the religious channels. Some people would want them. Some don't. I do not however consider religious stations public-interest programming.
 
I don't understand why people feel the need to lash out at someone that asks a simple question about whether or not programming they are interested in will be available.

If you don't agree with their faith that's fine, but bashing them for it is immature. Toby was not preaching, asking for money, trying to convert people, toby was not bashing anyone else's belief system.

If some feel the need to bash Christianity start a thread in chit chat club, this forum is for questions about DirecTV, not about disrespecting members and unprovoked attacks. By doing so you accomplish nothing more than losing the respect of other members.
 
Not to mention that their false teachings like the rapture is more dangerous than the crap like porn and smut. The Lord comes back at the last trump.

1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Which trump? The last trump.


Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

You'll be here!

Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Pay attention--

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The Lord is not going to come any time now and there is not going to be rapture. The Lord comes after Satan's rule on earth at the 7th trump. The people who fall for the rapture will worship the Antichrist because he comes first and the so called false preachers are telling you "anytime now he can come."
Bullsh!t!

Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Rev 11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Rev 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star (Satan) fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Rev 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts (Fallen Angels) upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Verse 4 states that they can't hurt men which have the seal (Knowledge) of God in their foreheads.

Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

What? Make war with the saints? How can that be when you are going to "fly away" first?

Rev 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Somebody has to be here and fight against the beast. The Lord doesn't like cowards and the Lord states:

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Rev 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Rev 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

The apostate church of today tells you that you aren't going to be here thus ignore the (book) or get it wrong the Revelation of Jesus Christ. If any of you remember only one thing it is that the Antichrist (in place of Christ pretending to be the Lord) comes first and that those who endure to the end are blessed and saved.

Seeing a bare ass on TV won't send you to hell but following false apostate teachings and then worshipping the false christ who can "come at any moment now" will doom your soul to hell. This crap is not from God and God doesn't like beggers who steal money from widows and the poor elderly by telling them to plant their seed which I call the prosperity cult con artist. God blesses the people he sends and the saints will send offerings to the people who feed (word of God) them and these teachers don't have to beg because God takes care of them.

How about picking up a KJV of the Bible with an old version of Strong's and have family Bible studies instead of watching this filth on TV.

AMEN

I don't know why so many people find it necessary to bash another person just beacuse they don't share likes, dislikes and beliefs.

Also, for those of you who are making judgement agains televangelists and saying that they are all going to hell.... I believe no one else on this planet has the right to judge another person's religious beliefs. I believe that right belongs to our creator and nobody else, so just drop it already.

We are not bashing Christianity. Just the people that try to make money off of any type of religion.

That is exactly my point, the guy that originally posted the question happens to enjoy the religious programming. He asked a simple question about the programming and instead of getting a simple answer, a lot of people decided it was necessary to chime in with their PERSONAL beliefs. Most of which were negative towards his simple question. I consider that to be bashing and it is completely uncalled for. This guy is a new member to satelliteguys and deserves to be welcomed to the forum in a nicer way. All of you should apologize to him and stop judging others, maybe take a look in the mirror yourselves.:mad:
 
I usually don't get involved in things like this but I have to say something.......

The guy asked a simple question right??? Well from that question sparked someone's opinion on religious channels. Now here's my issue...... If the guys question was about baseball channels and someone said baseball sucks would we even have 2 pages of "Religious Bashing" (Not My Words) or it guess it would be Baseball Bashing then.....Anyway, The point is whenever someone makes a comment for or against anything to do with religion or politics it's always bashing but when someone says Jeff Gordon is gay that's perfectly acceptable because it's not religion, and the fact that he is gay helps(J/K)

My point is let people have there opinions all they guy was saying is he FOR ONE meaning his personal opinion, not the opinion of Sattelite Guys, HIS OPINION hopes they never do add Religious Programming.....now did this in any way help the guy asking the question???? Abesolutly Not!!! But just as the guy has the right to request more Christian Channels be added, he has the exact same right to keep that from happening. It's america people love it or leave it.

Read the words of Dr. Suess below and it will all make sense.

What did your momma tell you? "If you can't say anything nice..."

Unfortunately that's constantly forgotten on the Internet.

I find that regarless if you're on the Left, the Right, or the Middle - you'd like people to at least be tolerant of your opinions. If everyone could be as tolerant of other's opinions as they'd like to be treated, the world would be a nicer place.
