Sounds very interesting, do they do this every year or is this a first? Is this an anniversary for Sky Angel and how long have they been in business?

 

[gcutler]

I don't know, every time I've seen anything on "The History of Echostar" it looks like watching someone elses vacation movies. I'd assume in the same vane Sky Angel would have to work hard to make a very interesting history show to keep attentions concentrated?

Thanks Glenn, Just set my 501 for the next showing, which is in 25 min SHold be interestring. SA* has been around almost as along as Dish, I read somewhare the date they started on, but I cant remember.

 

[Jacob S]

If they do show this every so often I bet that they show some of the same things over and over and just adding new videos each time, but its hard to tell.

Sky Angel went on the air Dec.9th, 1996 at around 4:00 EST with 6 TV and 3 radio channels. On Feb. 1998, Sky Angel moved from Echo 1/2 at 119 to their permanent orbital slot at 61.5 at which time had a total of 10 TV and 8 radio channels. Currently Sky Angel has 20 video channels and 16 radio channels.

I invite anyone that has a dish pointed at Echo III and does not have Sky Angel to call and give Sky Angel a try.

Thanks for this board and all the information that can be gained here.

As for this Sky Angel update, two years ago a 1 hour history of Sky Angel was produced and aired for a few weeks in the Sky Angel update slot. I hope everyone enjoys learning about the technical history of Sky Angel.

Hi Glenn, I have used Sky Angel at other people's houses, and I must say it has some awesome programming. I'm thinking about aiming at 61.5 to sub to it when I have some more money to do the install. Great programming you have! Good luck on your future!

 

[TNGTony]

Thanks Glen. I have been a Sky Angel Lifetime sub since March 1999 and love most of the secular programming as well as the Catholic channel. I find it more enlightening than EWTN.

I still dislike "preacher at the pulpit" shows.

See ya
Tony

What I like on Sky Angel are the music video channels!

 

[Uncle Peter]

I wished they would have kept American Independent Network with all the old shows.

There is Liberty University Football this saturday at 3:30 PM ET on Sky Angel channel 9716, The Liberty Channel.

Thanks Glenn for the Update on the "Update".

I have been a monthly Sky Angel subscriber since August 1998.

So I see you have a limited budget devoted to Satellite
