Maybe its because I never see the sun in north eastern ohio...

This is probably why satellite radio is successful. I will admit, when I carried my Roady2 into a Penske moving truck, I couldn't tell how compressed and crummy it sounded. Stock radio systems just don't highlight the downfalls of satellite radio. Think of how many people you know who have...

boy nobody reads these satrad forums anymore! According to my Roady2, I get 2 bars instead of 3...and its been that way for a while now. I haven't really noticed anymore dropouts though. I've had this setup for YEARS (ever since the Roady2 came out)...I just assumed it was showing its age

Hey guys, I was reading my local paper's blog and found this article Cincinnati Enquirer - John Kiesewetter's Blog Is anybody else having XM repeater issues in Cincinnati?

I'm sure there were very few listeners from this station, but I can't support this company's arbitrary decision to pull stations or change formats without any user input. I'm sure keeping a commercial talk radio station on XM was not part of their future plans, but there are a lot of Cincinnati...

Rumor had it that Clear Channel's contract ends in 2009, but I don't know the details of it. I wonder if its possible to stream WLW on my blackberry?

This is a big blow to my lineup. I am a huge fan of WLW on XM, but I knew it was too good to be true to last very long.

Yeah...what you guys may not realize is that a LOT of younger and middle aged people LOVE the formats of both MIX and KISS (fm) style radio stations. They think these channels are great additions to XM's lineup. Also, Clear Channel provides the best talk radio in America, with XM 165 and XM...

I will certainly miss ethel and lucy...sirius's "Lithium 24" plays grunge and 90's...which is not Lucy...and Sirius 21, Alt Nation plays some decent alternative, but when I want deeper cuts, I hit up XM 47, Ethel. Well, just to pay them back....I guess there's no reason for me to be a dual...

It may not be perfect, but you're right, its a heck of a lot better than it was. Its amazing what Neural can do with 32kbps of bandwidth.

No joke on XM Customer service...I remember a year ago or so, I sold a pickup I had, with factory XM installed. When I called to deactivate my XM service, the fact that I didn't own the vehicle anymore wasn't a good enough reason to cancel! It took me over an hour just to cancel service for a...

The midrange is definitely improved, and the highs, while definnitely improved, are a little 'too' improved now...perhaps harsh is the best word now, but its better. I'm listening on an old Roady2, so I don't have the best reference unit. The sound definitely sounds more Sirius-ish, as I'm a...

someone submitted it on Digg too... http://digg.com/hardware/XM_Radio_is_down

Correction: I decided to drive around instead of just testing in my parking space. Using the 2>0>7>XM hack, I can see that I'm getting ZERO signal from one satellite, even in an open sky. After driving around my apartment complex, the signal faded in and out SEVERELY. I was unable to hold a...

XM working fine here in Lafayette, IN. No repeaters to test though.

Everybody bashes NASCAR on the radio, but to me, there is nothing more exciting than those MRN guys screaming into their microphones for their 7 second spots. Sure you don't get replays and real time standings information, but man do you get good announcing!

Terk makes a new glass mount antenna that should hopefully function very similar to what you're used to, and it has the correct connection. Its called the Terk XM11. Might be worth a Google if you're interested.

Well...Since the majority of sound quality is subjective, its hard to clarify who has better sound quality. If we were more of a satellite radio forum, you'd have people screaming at each other in support of each service. Take a look at xmfan.com. Its insane. I have XM in my car, and we...

It'd be nice, but I was under the impression that older XM antennas had sub-par performance compared to today's antennas.

I don't think I've seen anything that goes from a two lead antenna into a single lead for newer XM Radios. I checked the link n8mycbob gave, but nothing I saw would work for what you need. Why do you need to use the older style antenna?

aww man, you guys are going to convince me to get sirius, aren't you?

That's unfortunately very true. Sometimes I think both providers aren't paying as much attention to programming music as they are spending millions on celebrities...

XM 9 is definitely a 90's channel, but they are lacking on later-90's material. They are also not programmed to have any sort of music from the last seven years, which makes up lot of both Sirius 9, and XM Flight 26

Geronimo is 100% correct. Sirius satellites go into a sleep mode until just before they hit their footprint, and then they fire up. Even though Costa Rica is north of the equator, the satellites are still focused on broadcasting for the United States and Canada, so its doubtful that it would...

I'm a college student, and we just got Sirius installed at my part time job. On XM, I love "Flight 26" but wish it had more 90's music. I have always considered switching to SIRIUS for their "Sirius 9, The Pulse" (90's and Now) but after listening to it for an eight hour shift, their "Sirius...
