Satellite radio?

[onthebottom]

Any experience with the two networks ( SIRIUS and XM)? I’m a bit of a news junkie so if anyone has a view I’d be interested.

I have yet to purchase, but my interest is talk and news and have been consistently told Sirius is prefered here.

Looks like Sirius is giving XM a run for their money.
I haven't checked in a while, but either one is not available in Canada yet.
I have read that Sirius has applied for a license in Canada...finally

No Sat radio and no iTunes - how do you guys survive? LOL

I'd herd Sirius as well, I'm seriously tempted, no much money.

If you have a Dish Network receiver you can get the Sirius radio channels. I like Sirius-66 on channel 6066 on Dishnet as it's all dance & club music.

Waiting for the uncensored Howard Stern show coming soon on Sirius... that going to kill!

Last time I visited Toronto, I found that my XM-radio worked fine the whole time I was in Ontario (hard for them to hit all of the U.S. and miss the border areas, I imagine). So you could probably get one in the states and count on it working if you live in the Toronto area.

XM

I just returned also from GTA-right downtown and my XM worked fine except for a stretch on University by the hospital.
Drove all the way to NY border worked all the way.

I brought the cd/boombox to us eit in my hotel room, but I must have been facing the wrong way and it didn't work.

For travelling I always have high speed in my room and use my laptop with launchcast from yahoo and play music all the time.

Also have a folding pair of very little speakers to plug in to amplify the output.

That's my # 1 reason to get satellite radio. Imagine how much ruder, cruder and offensive he's going to be. It's going to be fucking great!!!

Love dance & club music. All you need are a few hot asian girls and you're all set for a party! Hot Rock Bangkok transpose to GTA.

Anybody with experience driving thru the mountains when the old FM cuts out? The Adirondack or Poconos?

 

[zzap]

I'll taking my Sirius-69 party there!

I'll be in Bangkok & Pattaya in 3 week time... yeah baby!!!

I can smell that HOT Thai pussy CUMing for me right now..

I'm jelous, I used to do a little business (and have a ton of fun) in BKK - stayed at the Aman in Phuket - just awsome.

The Thai's are such great people, and th women....

I used to to an Irish pub (delanys) very good fun, drunk aussies and brits and hot girls, bit of stew and colcannon and your ready for a long night.

Believe it or not, I think Stern will suffer b/c of satellite's "no holds barred" approach. Part of what makes Stern so good is how he goes right up to the edge, balances on it, but seldom crosses over (at which point the censors jump in). It's just like how Stern was better when he was married; part of the allure was how he couldn't have all the pornstars that came on his show b/c he was already married. Now that he's divorced, it's not as interesting b/c he could have them but simply chooses not to.

I think people believe Stern will be so much better uncensored, but I don't think it will. Instead, he'll just have to push the envelope even further to the point that it will become boring.

When there are no boundaries, what is there to push?

 

[Svend]

I didn't think people would pay for commercial free radio but I could be wrong.
What's the monthly charge?

 

[Keebler Elf]

I've also heard that the guy in charge of Sirrius (Mel something?) has said there will be advertising...
