Yeah - I had a great post that I thought I entered, but apparently it disappeared into the ether. It went something like:

Last I heard AirAmerica is just trying to stay alive by selling Franken's underwear on their website. The problem with them can be summed up by paraphrasing Sir Winston Churchill: Listening to talk radio requires a brain, not a heart.

Eet vas joke. Why no laugh?

Sorry Gary, I knew your response was a joke. We have a very poor LOL smiley - it looks more like an angry scream. Maybe I should have put which looks a little more comical. No offense taken or intended.

I really like it. With the optical cable connection to my Sony surround sound it sounds great.

The Sirius channels are very nice and sound amazingly good! Personally, considering what I pay now with the Everythink Pak, I would prefer that E* not charge anything additional for the Sirius channels.

 

[Stargazer]

I am also very pleased with the Sirius channels but I doubt that many would pay extra for those channels, especially if they were free as they are now for a while then they wanted to start charging for them. That would make people mad if anything.

As I understand it, you won't be charged anything for the new music channels since you are an "AEP" subscriber...

 

[SAEMike]

I love the Sirius channels. The sound is terrific, and lots of options for old country music lovers such as myself.

I do wish they would add the talk stations, and I certainly hope they don't start charging for them. What a letdown that would be.

Love Sirius

Love the Sirius channels, only wish I hadn't spent the $'s on the home dock - purchased it just before Dish announced the Sirius was coming to dish. Still glad the kept the old music channels as well - nice variety of choices.

 

[Peluso]

I really like the 80's one and the various rock ones. I didn't think you could split rock into that many categories

Sadly still no progressive rock channel that highlights bands like YES, King Crimson, Genesis(early),
Spocks Beard, Transatlantic, Dream Theater, Echolyn, etc..

 

[bigthrust]

Excellent!

Sirius channels are welcome addition. Thank you Charlie. My son is actually excited now since he can play a wide variety of music, that he likes, through his system ( I just bought him new speakers that sound awesome). I like the fact that I have more variety to pump through my outside speakers.

 

[riski]

More channels for nothing? That's a new concept!!!! Love the new Sirius lineup!! I too use my optical audio connection and all i can say is wow! Better quality then Musac and more of a fine tuned selection. I tuned the channels in for the first time when I got home last night and had the house a rockin! Cat scooted to the basement and never returned!!! Good job Dish!!

GaryPen,

The reason I said I do not need NFL sunday ticket is because I get all the NFL games(Home and away announcers) on sirius so why would I pay 182 more dollars for NFL Sunday ticket?
