Re: New Sirius stations on XM radio now !

This merger killed Sirius and helped XM imo. Not for nothing but XM had little to nothing going for it. Now all my favorites that made the cut after the merger sound like AM radio.

I actually feel the other way -- XM had the better stock value, plus the signal - the way the satellites were set up, not to mention all the repeaters they had, gave it a much better signal that Sirius..

I could face my XM antenna through a wall and still get the signal, whereas I would lose Sirius for hours at the same time each night..

Would that still be the case for XM? I have a Sirius boombox with a starmate 4 and can get one bar in the house if I hold my head just right. Virtually worthless most of the time. Wondering if a XM boombox would work better.

Is this only for Sirius subscribers or is XM getting in on this, too?

I have no issues getting sound anywhere in my house with the XM antenna.. I use my MyFi with the Delphi speaker base -- clear as day, and haven't lost signal at all yet

Yeah, the antenna that I have attaches to the back of the boombox. It is very inconsistent. I called customer service to see if I was missing something, and was of course told to run my antenna outside. That is ridiculous. That eliminates the mobility of the boombox being used inside, and what do you do drill a hole through your wall to run it outside! Yep, sounds like you have the superior model.

Glad to have Boneyard. I like ACDC but not in lieu of Boneyard. I hope I like Boneyard as much as Buzzsaw.

Re: New Sirius stations on XM radio now !

yeah, Boneyard is the channel AC/DC had. Like them but can't listen to them non stop.

I really like channel 99 at 4:00....sinner(Tommy Boy). It's when the music stops.
