Same XM/Sirius channel sounds INFERIOR on Dish than Directv

[smooth28la]

By the way, even though I haven't checked, I noticed that Sirius is at least 5 seconds behind the same station on XM on my car receivers

I presume it's the same thing on DISH compared to Directv's version of the same station.



So Sirius/DISH is probably getting SECOND GENERATION AUDIO !!

This is not acceptable!

Dude,

It's a digital bit stream. "Second gen audio" is a totally analog 80's and before term.

That is not true. The signal is 2.0 on E*. Your receiver may be converting it to a 5 channel output, but it is NOT 5.0.

Could be. when i choose one of the CD audio channels the receiver switches to 2.0 and when i go back to the sirius channels at 6000 the receiver switches back to 5.1 audio like the HD channels. I don't know why but it does. I haven't noticed the audio stuttering either.

REally upsets me.... Sirius keeps deleting the channels I listen to!!!!! ewwwwww Now, I"m down to three stations.

Hmmm...

I found DirecTV XM to be inferior to Dish Sirius.

Thankfully they have not deleted my favorites.

Where is the Kids channel on Dish Network? Its the only music channel they are not carrying.

This morning it was airing on Willie's Honky-Tonk. Now it's gone to honky-tonk music, but it still has titles for the kids channel.

I just found another guide anomaly. Channel 6019 is now AC/DC Radio. The first two lines of the song description have the song title and AC/DC Radio, but the last two lines say "Boneyard - Classic hard rock" which is what it used to be except it was called Buzzsaw instead of Boneyard the last time I noticed.

They did change my channels, but I think they just merged Sirius Beats with XM Dance.

I remember XM from DirecTV. I never really got into it. Sirius got me hooked, especially with their Saturday night remixes on Beats. I do record those Saturday mixes and play them on my Archos at the gym. I won't know till next weekend if they changed their Saturday remixes (thankfully I have 50 hours of my favorites saved, but I need new content too). That will really suck if they do.

I compared Octane and 1st Wave on both services and have to say the highs are abit better on Direct but the bass is heavier on Dish.

Just the .02 from my ears
