Operations
The company's corporate headquarters is located in Naples, Florida.[1] The company also has a Chattanooga, Tennessee location where programming, engineering and network operations reside.
Sky Angel has received a seal of approval by the Parents Television Council for providing "family-friendly television programming.[2]"
On April 1, 2008, Sky Angel ceased its satellite television broadcasting and began offering its subscription service programming through a broadband internet connection (Cable or DSL). Commonly known as IPTV, the technology does not require an outside dish or antenna for subscribers to view programming and the service is compatible with existing satellite or cable service. Sky Angel currently uses NeuLion Inc as its IPTV platform provider.[3] Other features include 48-hour playback on all faith-based TV channels, a growing Video On Demand library with thousands of hours of free and fee-based selections, and compatibility with some TiVo brand DVR boxes.
