Sirius Radio

Does anyone else have this? I just picked up a unit today and subscribed. So far I'm liking it but I'm new to this whole pay for radio thing. I was hoping maybe the people here that have it could post what their favourite channels are!

Thanks!

Can't help you. I have XM.
I never thought I'd gladly pay for radio, but I do. No ads are the best.
They have similar channels though. I listen to the 80's alternative channel mostly. Have a blues, disco, light jazz, classic rock, new rock and top 40 channel preprogrammed as well.

I switch between Classic Vinyl, Classic Rewind, Buzzsaw, Alt Nation, Hair Nation, and Raw Dog. I listen to Blue Color Comedy when Raw Dog wastes their daily portions of time with Jim Breuer Unleashed or The Wiseguy Show.

I think the comedy selections are better on XM and I'd look forward to getting the XM comedy channel after the merger. But I suspect it will be tiered with a package that includes Howard Stern. And while I have no problem paying for satellite radio, I wouldn't pay a penny extra for Stern.

Howard 100
Howard 101
Blue collar comedy
Laugh break
Alt Nation
Faction
The Pulse
First Wave
Lithium 24
Fox Talk (I think this should be placed in the comedy lineup!)

Does anyone know what the merger would mean for Canadian listeners? If anything?

Alt Nation, Faction, and Octane are my big three. I don't regret getting Sirius for even an instant given the musical selection (or lack thereof) of the local radio stations, but it has been getting a little repetitive as of late. That is my ONLY gripe.

I'll agree with that and I've only had it a few days. Especially the top 40 stations. But I guess when you think about it, you get pretty much the same rotation on FM, its just split up with hours of commercials each day. I'm hoping to counter the effects of repetition, I may listen to some of the talk stations like Sirius Talk or something.

Also, has anyone upgraded their receiver? Like if I buy one off of ebay, can I get my sub switched over to that one?

You can get the sub transferred to another unit, but at a fee. I think its somewhere along the lines of $75. The website has it listed somewhere in the FAQ.

Personally, for automotive use, I find most of the fancy receivers to be a big waste. In all honesty, I don't use anywhere near all of the presets I'm given now, I rarely record anything I listen to, and anything larger would be downright obtrusive/distracting while driving, especially when mounted on a windshield or higher up on the dash.

I thought it was far cheaper, like 25?

I love my Sirius. I got it for Howard Stern, but there are a bunch of great music channels too.
