    Dish Family vs current packages

    I was paying for Bloomberg TV al a carte so that I could receive Public Interest channels. I only watch maybe 4 channels. Bloomberg TV was removed and I am now getting charged $9.99 for Welcome Pack instead of what I was paying $7.99. Not a problem, because I am still getting the channels I...

    what are the PI stations you are getting?

    I was receiving all of the PI channels listed in the above link. I have one DISH pointed at 61.5 and one DISH pointed at 110/119. As of yesterday I lost all PI channels except 3ABN-9710, NASA-213 and Angel-262 and a few others that I had blocked out. I called DISH network to see what I needed to...

    Interesting Turn of Events at Dish

    I don't understand why SA couldn't have offered IPTV and Satellite service. ~MYB~

    Reminder from Dish to Pay Your Bill?

    When I recently logged into my Dish Network account (I have Sky Angel only), I noticed things were changed. "My Programming" now has Dominion Sky Angel listed for "Current Programming". "My Equipment" now has receiver/smart card info listed. Looking at the Programming Guide on Dish Network's...

    No Offers From Dish?

    I hope this is true! I've never had a problem with any of DISH network's equipment or reception. I didn't have a problem with DISHfamily, I just didn't like the commercials and I had a lot of the channels blocked, so I stuck with Sky Angel only and blocked the "special secular" channels. ~MYB~

    I received my official letter today.

    After receiving my letter I knew it was "official". I'll miss Sky Angel broadcasting, but our internet is just too unreliable for watching tv. Not to mention we have two DISH's one at 61.5 and the other at the 110/119. I don't mind paying as much (even more) as anyone else, it's just I don't...

    Has anyone received their box yet?

    I was thinking the same thing. You'd expect some of the channels & content from a secular family oriented company, but not from a Christian company. Unfortunately, I think our internet service is way too unreliable for IPTV anyway. Since Time Warner-Road Runner has taken over Adelphia we lose...

    3ABN now available to both Dish Network subs and Sky Angel subs

    Just wanted to say I appreciate ALL of Iceberg's info. His satellite knowledge has always been helpful, and from what I have gathered, always accurate. He seems to know his stuff! ~MYB~

    If the four special secular channels (Hallmark, Hallmark Movie Channel, HGTV, and Fox News) are costing Sky Angel, why don't they drop them altogether? Or at least drop them for those that don't wish to receive them. I don't like the change that Sky Angel has taken, but I tried DishFAMILY and I...

    Spirit Replaces Familyland

    I didn't know if their might be a chance of FamilyLand being moved to a different channel since Spirit will be on 9717, I emailed Sky Angel the other day and still have not received a response. So, I emailed FamilyLand this morning and they replied back saying: "Yes, that's correct. Familyland...

    Spirit Replaces Familyland

    I'm so glad Spirit is returning. I just wish they didn't have to get rid of FamilyLand. I'm not Catholic, but we watched a lot of their Westerns, Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Ozzie & Harriet, Bonanza, etc... It seemed to always be VERY family-orientated. I will miss that station. How do they...

    3ABN now available to both Dish Network subs and Sky Angel subs

    Oh, I understand. That makes sense now. Thanks, once again! (Sorry, I'm so "clueless".) ~MYB~

    3ABN now available to both Dish Network subs and Sky Angel subs

    Yeah, that's what I mean. It does not show up in my guide. Mine goes from 9707, 9708, 9709 then skips to 9711, 9712, 9714, etc... Should it be showing up in my guide, even though there's no channel right now? ~MYB~

    3ABN now available to both Dish Network subs and Sky Angel subs

    I have PI channels & Sky Angel (& DISHFamily), but 9710 does not show up for me. Do you need FTA system to receive 9710? ~MYB~

    Other Channels on E3

    I just hung up with DISH Network Tech Support. She said in about 10-20 minutes I should be receiving these channels. (No long disclaimer either.) It did take a little longer on the phone, because of computer problems, but she was very nice and did not seem "confused" as the guy early this...

    Other Channels on E3

    I just got off the phone with DISH Network and I was told that in order to receive the Public Interest Channels I would need to upgrade to America's Top 100 for $29.99 a month. I have DishFAMILY & Sky Angel right now. ~MYB~

    Sky Angel spam

    I don't receive ANY emails from Sky Angel anymore. They don't reply to my emails (like they did when I was a new customer), I do not receive the e-newsletter, viewer advisory info, special events alert, offers, nothing. They totally quit sending me anything, about a half a year, maybe a year...

    Familyland must be as good as gone..

    What channel will be replacing it? Or are we just down one less channel? ~MYB~

    monthly subscribers opt out of special channels?

    I've asked, but Sky Angel doesn't seem to answer my emails anymore. The only reason I don't like paying for these channels is because I think it contradicts what Sky Angel's statement about Christ-centered, family-friendly, worry-free, television is all about. I would love an all news channel...

    Premium Channels

    I agree with GeorgLV. Not every family or person enjoys the same type of entertainment or information. I still don't see why "a la carte" cannot be a choice. It should be up to the consumer if they want to pay more. Not the "media". Could it be that they are just worried more people than...

    Sky Angel Plans to Charge Lifelong Subscribers for "Special Secular" Channels

    So, I'm basically paying for someone who is a life-time subscriber that watches those channels and are not paying for them? Fine, by me. I canceled Sky Angel for about a month because I didn't like the changes, and I regretted it. I still think the $15.99 is worth the channels and programming...

    Premium Channels

    I'd be willing to pay more just to have all, totally (commercials included), family-friendly and Christ-centered programming. It's not about what's on, so much as how it's presented. Basically with class or without class. (Which is usually with clothes or without clothes, without profanity or...

    Sky Angel Plans to Charge Lifelong Subscribers for "Special Secular" Channels

    Is the Hallmark Channel different now? The first year it aired on Sky Angel I was still a new subscriber. I was scoping out all the channels. Because of commercials on Hallmark Channel, I immediately had it blocked. Also, I have another question. If it costs Sky Angel to air these channels...

    Sky Angel Plans to Charge Lifelong Subscribers for "Special Secular" Channels

    Sky Angel was $11.99 a month, after replacing the Christian channels with the "secular" channels it went up to $15.99 a month. We were not given the choice of receiving these channels. ~MLB~
