I got a flyer today, which I think might be the same one referred to above. The envelope says "Rejoice! Sky Angel IPTV Is Here!"
A small brochure inside is labeled "Sky Angel Faith & Family Television" and offers 3 programming tiers - the Faith Package for $14.99, the Family Package for $19.99, or both (the Family Values Pak) for $24.99.
It says that you can get a free set-top box with an 18 month commitment, or purchase it outright for $149. The brochure claims that the box is normally a $198 value.
Not one word addresses the forthcoming closure of SA DBS service.
The brochure also indicates more than once in fine print that "Programming, channels, number of channels, subscription prices, equipment prices, and special offers all subject to change without notice. Additional cost for set-top box, shipping, activation, and applicable taxes may apply."
The brochure makes a gift offer at the end, where for $149, you can buy a gift package. The recipient will receive one set-top IPTV box ($198 value), Free Shipping & Activation ($30 value), and one month of the largest programming package, the Family Values Pak ($24.99 value).
Fine print notes that "At the end of 30 days, recipient must call Sky Angel to reactivate account with a credit card or EFT authorization."
The rest of the brochure contains the usual promos for Christmas programming and a reminder to shop at the Sky Angel E-Store for Christmas gifts.
