I have had it with Sirius/XM from lousy channel changes to the recent price increase. But I really do enjoy several components of the service. I am wondering if there are alternatives besides local radio. Let me describe what I like and a little about my situation and if anyone can suggest some alternatives I would appreciate that.
My wife and I both have sat. radios in our cars. My car is an older Infiniti without the fancy MP3 plugins or anything like that. My wife drives a newer SUV with the fancy MP3 plugins. I travel alot and enjoy streaming the channels in the evening from my hotel room. Have the Verizon high speed anywhere access. My wife also owns the new Blackberry Storm, the touchscreen one, and I have the Blackberry world edition.
As far as the content that we enjoy includes various music (hard rock, reggae, old school rap), Disney channel, conservative talk, the traffic from different cities when we travel, and Fox news.
Does anyone have any suggestions that would stream on those various devices or enable a similar service? Is HD radio the way to go? What internet services are good and low cost? Thanks for the input and I am sure other would appreciate this discussion.

There is a rumor floating around the satellite radio boards that the SiriusXM app is out soon (there's that word again!
). Could be as early as Tuesday, but according to what I've read full price ($12.95) is being charged for the limited Internet radio subscription, which isn't worth it considering you don't get all the channels. If they had a way to just get the talk channels online I'd go for that since the music channels are worthless to me.

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
