    New SiriusXM Channel Lineup October 18th

    Leads me to believe that this was all - over money. Sirius/XM didn't agree to the "rent". That's my guess. Money. One of the two parties appears to be too greedy and no agreement was reached.

    New SiriusXM Channel Lineup October 18th

    There has to be a lot/many who only listen to talk radio. Canceling channel 246 is a big disappointment. Can't understand how SiriusXM did away with channel 246 as there was advertising on that channel. Was the cancellation about money or something else?

    Unactivated Receiver - How Do I Check if it Works?

    The original post was a simple question. Whether the friend got it from someone else is not the question. Direct TV states that it is not stolen. It could have been purchased at Best Buy or maybe it is an owned receiver. My two original non-HD receivers were given to me by Direct TV. My...
