    Paid for membership, no access to The Pit

    Tried it several times already. Is there some delay processing my payment?

    BUSTED! Deflategate: Pats deliberately did it!

    I guess everybody forgets the year Brady went out for season on the first game. We had a winning year with Kassel, and only missed the playoffs by a fluke in the division that year. Pfft, enjoy touching yourselves while watching him benched - it just gives the rest of the team something to...

    XM free preview?

    With people cancelling in droves, over the programming changes and drop in quality, I am sure they are doing everything they can do to drum up business.

    ABBA Radio to return

    I am really praying for the return of "Zamphir, master of the Pan Flute" channel... Well, my wife will be entertained for a few hours with this ABBA thing. But I am afraid if I play it for too long, a lot of strangely well groomed "alternative lifestyle" gentlemen with start being drawn to...

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    I am in agreement with you 100%. I find that all of the "special shows" are at hours I won't be listening, or often want to listen to a completely different genre. I might look into attempting to record the shows to MP3 or something, almost like a DVR or something; but that would only work if...

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    UPDATE: Hmm, interesting. They actually answered my e-mail. Not only that, it was an actual response (not just some form letter); as he addresses the specific channels I was pissed about! see below. --------------------------------------- Dear W...., Thanks for the e-mail. I do...

    Need good high gain XM antenna

    "Mewilsie", I ended up putting my stock XM antenna outside on the window sill this weekend. Coincidentally, I started getting even worse reception the last few days; I guess some people have been complaining about this, ever since the programming merge. Anyhow the manual says the antenna is OK...

    Need good high gain XM antenna

    I don't think XM makes anyhting like that. I was hoping to get an outdoor mast antenna, like they have for Sirius, but no dice.

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    That is because hippies only believe in giving away other peoples money, and not their own. "Trustifarians" just like to pretend to be "fake bums" for the weekends, at whatever lame jamband concert, so they can dance around with hairy chicks and get wasted. But I digress, this is a Sat Radio...

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    Actually, don't they call it "Action Sports Radio" or some stupid crap like that? And the fact that Bam Magera is one of the hosts, well that just makes me want to puke. It is more like punk-lite for noobs. I'll give it a listen some more, but so far it makes me say "eeeeewwwwwww...".

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    This is the thing that confuses me, I really don't understand why they completed gutted the lineups. I completely recognize thier need to streamline, and therefore eliminate redundant channels; but why they would eliminate both punk channels is a mystery to me, I would have been happy to accept...

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    Another thing I noticed about ALL of the sirius DJ's, they all seem to have that phony "DJ Voice & Persona". They all sound like they went CSB, and took a class called "How To Sound Like A Phony Top-40 Do#@heBag DJ".

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    That was part of my consideration too. When I was deciding what Sat Co to go with, a guy at my work had just signed up with Sirius; we used to listen to Stern at lunch, and I wasn't all that impressed. It really didn't seem like his new show added anything, just lots of curse words.

    Sirius To Owe 1 Billion in 2009

    They really need to trim some of the celebrity fat from thier budget. I can see Comic talent like Stern and O&A, making sense as a natural for sat, due to the graphic language issue; but c'mon Martha Stewart, how many bored housewives are baking cakes in thier cars??? eegads...

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    I might be OK with it all, if I was getting Stern free out of the deal; but they want another $5 for that too, they can bite me. What I am getting at though, is that I chose XM instead of sirius because I was mostly interested in Music. But now they have removed that from the equation.

    XM really knows how to kill a good thing!

    I am soooooooooo pissed, the vast majority of the XM channels my family loved are now gone: Fungus - my wife and I are ~40, we are old school punks. Losing this station was like a punch in the nuts, the "Bam Magera" channel is a sad substitute for pikers. Beyond Jazz - Fun progressive Jazz...

    Is my HR20-700 dying?

    UPDATE - While waiting for my replacement, I tried a "fix" I had read about on the web: Delete ALL recordings and reboot. Sure enough, it worked perfectly afterward; not a single problem at all! So much so, that the replacement is still sitting in the box for a week now It is strange...
