sky angel thru fta

[sheeba]

Hello All

I'm new to this FTA satelite but was wondering if I can access the sky angel channels by changing my current dish pointing direction and adding the program to my Pansat 2500A receiver?

Thanks for any help.

The Sky Angel service is encrypted and can only be received by subscription. The programming package is not FTA.

 

[Mr Tony]

what are you currently picking up?
what size dish?

I believe the individual channels are FTA on other (FSS and/or C-Band) satellites, but the ones on 61.5 are encripted.

The only channel I am picking up right now is on dish, the Angel One network I think. It advertises for Sky Angel...

i have one of the 18" dishes

Angel One has quite a bit of programming on it. About once a day or every other day there is a "sky Angel" ad program on it for 30 minutes, but that is about it.

Most of the channels on Sky Angel are available via FTA, but at other locations using a 30" dish and FSS LNB. None of Sky Angel channels (except Angel One) are available at 61.5° unless you subscribe.

See ya

Angel One at 61.5 is encrypted. I've never understood why since it's the same thing available FTA at 119.

Also if you have the Family Pack, Dish site says you get channel 9701 on 61.5 yet you don’t, just 262

It must be Direct TV.

Dishnetwork has:

260 TBN
261 EWTN
262 Sky Angel 1
264 Daystar

I think the Faith and Value package is a Cox cable thing.

It must be Direct TV.

Dishnetwork has:

260 TBN
261 EWTN
262 Sky Angel 1
264 Daystar

Daystar is on 263
Lime is on 264

Is there any news as to whether or not this would ever be available in Canada? From what I've read so far the answer is no, mainly thanks to the CRTC.

 

[Mr Tony]

sadly no Sky Angel is US only
