I called Familyland last night as soon as I saw Spirit take it's place. There is no mention of the departure from Sky Angel on either FL's or SA's websites (other than no evidence that they were ever on SA to begin with).
I got a recorded message saying that they were in negotiations with another provider, ans to leave a message with name and address if you wanted information on where they are going. I left name address and phone and then said that I hoped that I could still use the Dish Network equipment that I already had.
It's a shame that FL left SA. They (The Apostolate for Family Consecration) were one of the first promoters of Sky Angel. I still remember getting mailers from AFC asking us to consider purchasing a SA lifetime subscription. At the time it was $99 IIRC. This was in the early 90's. I wish I would have saved one of those fliers, it had an artist's rendition of a DBS dish - it looked like a backyard bar-b-cue grill turned on it's side.
