It's sort of coming back, but it will pull 3 bars for several minutes, then drop out entirely for a while. There's no wind at all (there is a tree outside the qindow) and nothing is being touched. Just random.

Can't get a signal in my home office today with my trusty SkyFi home kit. It's always a little touchy there, but usually I can tweak the antenna and get it back. It's just dead today. If I tweak it, I can get it back for a second and then it goes away. If I go to the boombox on the other side...

Good idea...at least Charlie has been trying to improve DISH lately, if a bit haphazardly. He's not actively ruining a good product. Time to look at a Rhapsody to Go or Zune Pass.

XM was $9.95 when I signed up. That's almost a 50% increase over 5 or 6 years. Which I might not mind if the service hadn't dropped so dramatically in quality. They dropped half of the formats I enjoyed, and watered down the rest of them. Their playlists used to be huge and they never had any DJ...

Interesting perspective. It's almost as if the management is so incompetent, they picked the worst features of BOTH services and got rid of anything good. I don't think that's the case though. I think it's just that both services originally ACTUALLY CATERED TO DIFFERENT AUDIENCES! Crazy...

Ron & Fez are the only thing keeping me with XM at this time. Though, next time I take a long road trip, I will probably appreciate it more. 1st Wave is a terrible replacement for Fred. Faction is a joke. There are a few channels I actually like better now, but just barely.

These are NOT name changes, particularly for Fred. These are totally different formats. 1st Wave is to Top Tracks as Fred is to Deep Tracks. Lucy and Lithium are a little closer together, but since Lithium advertises itself as a 90s channel, and Lucy was at least 50% 80s music...that's still...

Do they have a goth/industrial show on Area? I know I'm not going to get a whole channel, but it was nice having a few shows. Unfortunately, they were on The System and Fungus.

Huh? MSNBC doesn't have Today because Today is on NBC and MSNBC is a totally separate channel. It actually wouldn't make ANY sense to have Today on MSNBC, because 99% of people who get MSNBC also get an NBC station, so you'd be using two channels to reach the same audience you can reach with...

I hope you phrased it that way. We should all just call up and say "your channels are stupid now."

"less deep"...I bet 1st Wave's playlist isn't even 5% the size of Fred's. They were NOT redundant channels. I think they would have complimented each other. As much as I loved Fred, every once in a while, they would go off on a tear of 7 or 8 completely obscure songs. (I had never even HEARD...

See this is the point. XM and Sirius were very different services. As an XM subscriber, your statement seems insane to me. I don't see how ruining almost everything I liked about XM and offering me channels I have no interest in at additional cost is "the better end of the deal." And yet, when I...

They need the new radios first. But the Music Only/Talk Only packages are available now. (Read the fine print though...just because it's Only Talk doesn't mean it's ALL Talk.) XM Service & Subscription - Pricing, Plans, Service

I did notice that they have moved all XM music channels that were still above 100 so they are all below 99, just like Sirius. I suspect they will move towards that eventually. They've gotta ease into this...look how irritated some of us are just from this. They kept everyone in the dark on...

Hmmm...and XM dropped The Rhyme, which was the same thing. I understand the need to consolidate. I even understand that Mel is too stupid to see why Fred and 1st Wave are complimentary, not redundant. But why are they dropping entire formats like Old School Rap and Punk. Shouldn't we be...

I wouldn't count on it. I've been flipping around for a while and every time I go past Faction, it just sounds like Squizz to me. (Ahh...and here's a DJ. I hate this already.) I didn't listen to Fungus that much, but it always sounded fun when you flipped it on. Faction is just "singers that...

"Boneyard returns January 15th"

I think the closest thing is Classic Rewind.

Oddly, it says that The Boneyard will come back after AC/DC goes away. I never listen to Boneyard, but I thought it was like Hair Nation or whatever it's called. Maybe Buzzsaw is being replaced by Boneyard? Too bad, because actually liked Buzzsaw the few times I heard it. Why haven't we...

Relax, guy...if a car salesman tells you the deluxe model includes wheels and headlights, do you automatically assume the regular model doesn't? The answer to your question is included in the "Question and Answer" pdf, appropriately enough...

The System came from an outside service (As does U-Pop and a few others.). It did not originate from XM. So it's possible that they WILL be on tomorrow...just not here.

So, neither Sirius or XM has ever had an industrial channel, but at least XM had industrial shows a few hours a week. Unfortunately, it was on Fungus and The System ( which had nothing in common otherwise.) I was just on their website and noticed the Artist Search. So I searched for the most...

GAAAAAAA! I Hate Sirius music stations! If I had wanted to listen to yammering DJs, I would have bought Sirius or stuck with commercial radio! Well, definitely a good news/bad news for my household. First Wave is incredibly repetitive compared to Fred, and it's got DJs so that bad news. On the...

What are you talking about? Have you even read the rate plan? It's been around for many months. The initial impact to current subscribers is zero, unless they initiate a change.

Main reason I prefer XM music to Sirius. Also, XM goes way "deeper" (which is why a lot of people DON'T like it.) Most Sirius channels don't seem much different than terrestrial radio to me, aside from no commercials. Too much chit-chat and the same stuff over and over. I know they aren't all...
