What is the Sky Angel service?
EchoStar leases a single transponder on EchoStar 3 at 61.5 degrees to Dominion Satellite. Dominion uses it to broadcast about eight channels of religious programming called Sky Angel. The Sky Angel service uses EchoStars reception hardware and is complementary to DISH service in the same way DIRECTV and USSBs services are. Note that a second dish is probably required in order to receive both Sky Angel and other DISH programming. It appears Sky Angel will only be available from 61.5 degrees so those on the west coast will only be able to receive it with a very low look angle to the east.
