Sky Angel IPTV is no longer available in Canada.  It is almost impossible to find this out by searching the internet. I had a paid up subscription when in mid October the set top box could no longer get the TV channels (only radio) then eventually it said the box was not authorized.  Phone calls and emails were not returned. They eventually followed through when I asked to stop the monthly automatic payments but without any explanation or refund for half a month of no service. This left me with a useless $120 set top box. After lots of searching I figured out what was going on and left an inquiry on the American website www.skyangel.com.  The Canadian website became unavailable and on the American website www.skyangel.com they had removed all references to Sky Angel in Canada.  Since SkyAngel has already transfered their ownership of Echostar transponders back to Dish Network, in a few months  Sky Angel will no longer be available by satellite anywhere.  Now SkyAngel is no longer available by IPTV in Canada. So, it is past the point of no return to get IPTV working for the USA. Following is the response I received from www.skyangel.com on 03Dec2007:

"Thank you for contacting Sky Angel.  Sky Angel had granted a Canadian company, ShifTV, the right to carry our service over their IPTV system in Canada. That company is now operating under a new name and new management and their business plan, which includes adult entertainment, is no longer compatible with ours. The parties have decided to terminate our technical agreement. We are currently seeking additional ways to provide Sky Angel programming again in Canada. Please feel free to check back to our Web site at www.skyangel.com for any further developments
regarding this.

If you are a ShifTV subscriber to Sky Angel programming and have any questions about your service, you will need to contact them directly at 1-866-640-7938."

I found that ShifTV and BroadShift are two companies both owned by Morey Chaplick of Canada.  ShifTV operated OverSeaTV and BroadShift had purchased a Nevada company called ITVN whose 'XBIZ' division is a pornography distributer.  It appears that BroadShift was the new name being used for international programming (OverSeaTV), Christian programming (SkyAngel IPTV), and pornography (ITVN).  Since the last two are content-wise incompatible, SkyAngel IPTV has ceased to be a service provided by either of ShifTV or BroadShift.


   

On Dec 15, I received this positive reply from Sky Angel:

Thank you for contacting Sky Angel.  We do apologize for what has
happened.  We did try our best, but it doesn't always work out as
planned.  We will send you a refund for the amount of $120.00.  
Please email your address so we can mail the check to you.
A refund will be processed in 4 to 6 weeks once we receive your information.

Hello,

I have the same problem with TV ARABIYA here in Montreal Canada, should i contact skyangel to get a refund ( i paid 100$ for the STB BOX and i used it only for one month) because BroadShift sent us a message that they don't have enough to continue their business?..thanks a lot for your answer   

I called Sky Angel today. They deny having anything to do with BroadShift and any of the companies associated with BroadShift.  Jeramiah in billing told me that for a short time they experiemented with Sky Angel in Canada in association with ShifTV but ended that association.  Sky Angel is owned by the Johnson Foundation according to him.

I was a DeutschesTV subscriber, which I knew was part of OverseasTV.  I paid for a STB and a full year of programming (idiot that I am) in late August of 2007.  I'm feeling that I'm never going to see a refund for at least the programming.  The $99 STB I can eat as my hubby modified it to put an on/off switch on the front, which the folks at DeutschesTV OK'd since they said I owned the box anway.

look what i found www.tvitaliana.com lol looks like overseatv to me...

Why don't you see if you can get your Canadian IPTV box activated for Sky Angel of the United States?  Maybe they'll work out something for you.

I have Sky Angel IPTV in the US, and it works fine.
