I looked it up SXM Patriot is channel 125 and is Conservative Talk Radio.

Is Rush still around?

I don't think Rush has ever been on satellite radio. He's exclusively an AM radio and online streaming guy. Andrew Wilkow's "The Willow Majority" actually airs at the same time on SiriusXM as Rush Limbaugh which airs on other stations not on satellite radio. Yes Rush is still on, but I hardly ever listen to him. I primarily listen to Andrew Wilkow, Mark Levin, and David Webb.

Sorry channel 93 is Rush Radio and no it has nothing to do with Limbaugh. It's all talk of Mixed Martial Arts and Pro Wrestling.

The DISH / SiriusXM agreement is for "select" SiriusXM music channels, not all of them.

If you want all of them you need to subscribe to SiriusXM.

Still, it would be nice if we could use our Dish subscription to authenticate the SiriusXM skill on Alexa, so we could listen to those "select" stations directly through an Echo Dot, without needing to use the Dish receiver.

Huh? We would still need a receiver to watch the rest of the Dish channels. Plus, we would be buying the SiriusXM channels from Dish, instead of getting them directly from SiriusXM. If necessary, Dish could arrange it so that the (Dish channels-only) SiriusXM Alexa skill would only work if the Echo Dot is also paired to control a Dish receiver with the Dish skill.

I know that. My point was that if we are already paying for those music stations through our Dish subscription, why should we have to pay for those exact same stations again (through SiriusXM) just to have the convenience of listening to them through the Dot? I am not interested in accessing the additional stations that would come with a SiriusXM streaming subscription.

The part about requiring it to also be paired to a Dish receiver was meant to address the concern you raised about it costing Dish revenue if we don't use their receiver. I was not suggesting the Alexa functionality as a means of replacing a Dish receiver. It's just that it would be nice to not have to use the Dish receiver all of the time, if all we want to do at the time is listen to the SiriusXM stations.

It's not about costing Dish revenue. It's about costing SXM revenue. Using SXM through an Echo Dot is considered a premium feature.

Still, it can be frustrating listening to the SiriusXM stations through the Dish receiver and hearing them advertise for the Alexa feature, knowing that it does not work with my subscription, especially if my Echo Dot hears the ad and interprets it as a command to start playing something completely different from what I was listening to on SiriusXM.

Would this be too risky of a "move"?
