Hooray for that deal, although the up-front cost for equipment and installation, as well as the size of the dish, are big drawbacks IMHO.Anyways, to compeat with Sky Angel there is a company called GloryStar that is selling systems that come pre-programmed to the religious channels on IA5... This will allow for alot of christian programming without subscriptions.
Since you're a content provider, has there been any thought to joining Sky Angel, rather than competing? For Christmas, I gave my mother some surplus Dish Network equipment ($0), installed it myself ($0), and gave her a gift subscription to Sky Angel ($150 for 14 months). But I'm personally disappointed in their channel lineup. If Sky Angel owns the bandwidth, it would be nice to add as many Christian channels as possible, including yours.
