Strollin, my sentiments, exactly!

My radio broke a couple weeks ago and because I'm waiting for the new ones to debut next week, all I have available to me is conventional terrestrial radio....complete with about a hundred commercials per hour. How in the world can anyone say the elimination of all these commercials isn't worth $13/month?

Another convert here - hardly even put in a CD any more while driving.

As for the "Best of" - forget the OP's list for me and replace it with the classic rock stations like 60's, 70's, Classic Vinyl and Classic Rewind - and Blue Collar Comedy on button #5!

Meh, it figures the first channels we see after the merger you have to pay for.

In another thread somebody reported that the ala carte programing is now available? I just did a search and see that it is available but unlike what somebody previously posted, a special radio is required.

I still cannot get into my XM online account to add the "Best Of Sirius".

I have a Delphi Roady2 in my work truck. It doesn't have the "tinny" sound at all. As a matter of fact I was just noting the other day how it compared to CD quality.

If you are having sound quality issues, maybe hooking your XM receiver directly into your trucks radio would help?

As far as the best of SIRIUS, I wouldn't give you a wooden nickel for any of those channels. Heck you couldn't even pay me to listen to them.

goreds2-

You will probably have to call XM's toll free land line. I recently tried to renew online to get some of those re-up deals, but everytime I tried to access my account it said that they were updating my account, and that it could take 10 minutes. This went on for days.

I'm a Sirius subscriber. I never listen to any of the shows listed as the "best of Sirius". LOL

On the flip side I would like to see Leo Laport (The Tech Guy) ported over to Sirus.

I have had Sirius for years. Have 2 receivers.
Never liked what XM had to offer.
You can listen to Sirius on your computer also.

As for Howard and Martha and just about any talk program. You just by-pass that channel.
