If the worst thing you can say about this situation is that the communication could have perhaps been better that's a world apart from anything unethical or illegal.

I hope Sky Angel does well.  I'm glad you're assisting them.  Good luck to all involved.

I wonder how dish shareholders would feel about childish behavior like that in the baordroom - especially since the ruling on the arbitration was so clear that dish was in breach of contract. This has absolutely nothing to do with the arbitration. Read the FCC filing. ??? – Rick, do you really think that dish, (a publicly traded company), won't work out a new profitable business deal with Sky Angel because they are still pouting over losing the arbitration to them several years ago?  That sounds absurd to me.

We trusted them at their word we would have it the rest of our lives. It was a verbal agreement in our case and never entered our minds it would be breached. We were never told anything about the satalites life time.</p><p>Rick</p> It is kind of strang you should mention Breach of contract. you see we were sold the lifetime membership over the phone and paid for it with a credit card.

I can appreciate that subscribers are disappointed that the satellite deal that they signed on for is no longer available. But I hope that they can appreciate the need to continue with programming which supports and promotes Christian values.

My prayers and heartfelt thoughts to all.

I am flabergasted at all this dust up over Sky Angel. I will be switching to IPTV when the satellite service expires, but my mother will not because she doesn't have DSL. I am eternally grateful to those who are willing to give much so that the good news can be beamed into our homes. I remember when Christian programs were relegated to the Sunday morning ghetto, unless you lived in Porstmoth, VA, or Glendale, CA.

Where else can we see our favorite ministry programs at various times throughout the day, documentaries that inform us and build up or faith, live conferences all day, music, kids programs, or the new Christian dramas that are being produced. </p><p>I for one want to encourage the folks at Sky Angel as they give IPTV a go.
