This is it, the official Sirius Satellite Radio discussion thread.

Discuss the music stations, Howard Stern, Bubba the Love Sponge, etc.

XM>Sirius.

You have both?

Nah. But I have had experiences with both... Sirius has better Jazz and Stern... but as far as music channels.. plus MLB live... it's XM... And yes I do have XM in the company vehicle..

A cursory glance at the XM pamphlet at stores and it would appear the music is better, but not having heard it, I have no reference.

I'm not a sports guy, but I'd prefer to have MLB over NFL...but Stern's where it's at, so I'm good.

Did you hear the Steve Dahl audio that Stern was played last week? Dahl was being interviewed and said Stern won't last because he has no rules to fight against. Rachyl Hunter being called a cunt was classic as well last week. I'm actually listening to Friday's show as we speak. I would like more howard replays on the weekends and less Howard 100 news replays.

I did not hear this. Unfortunate, but I don't listen to Dahl anymore. I've become a fan of Bubba the Love Sponge's.




Yes! Hearing Bubba's Friday replay on Saturday was a lot of fun and I'd love more of this. The news should only be on twice a day for an hour a piece.

i think howard only wants the show replyed once (8pm CST, H101) becuase he doesn't want it to get oversaturated or whatever. he's always been very protective of the show and where and how often it gets played.

it would be great to have a "best of" that ran on the weekends with the Rachel Hunter stuff from the past week, the revelations, etc. who knows, maybe they have something in the works for that.

Headline:

Alexis Stewart: Not so Cunty

Absolutely.

I listen to Stern in the am but then I keep it on "The Big 80's" at work. What's wrong with me?

not a damn thing...

keep it up! do you find that the 80's station gets a little repetitive? I think First Wave (22) has a little more variety...plus i like hearing richard blade.

You have to expect Dahl to defend himself the way he did, even though I can't believe he thinks he's talking about his own show. When does Dahl ever push the envelope? With all that dead air? Come on.

Anyway, Howard's show has been great. Any fans who didn't come along are missing out. Can't get into Bubba though. His voice sounds too much like Mancow to me. That's a deal breaker.

It took me about three listens to be finished with that H100 News show. It's horrible. Like a comedian explaining why his jokes are funny.

I would like to agree with the Howard 100 news sucking. I have no interest whatsoever. I've been claiming that the channels in general are just plain overkill. A 5 hour show a day is enough for me, I can't do the intern show, the post stern show, the superfan roundtable show where they talk about the show and on and on and on. I am however interested in the other original programming he has planned.

Sirius sports is confusing. So much sports that you can never find what you're looking for. If you're at home you can easily go to the website, but on the road you'll be turning the dial until you wrist get sore (or you hit the car in front of you). From what I've been told, XM's sports is all lumped together and is much easier to find. I'm nitpicking, but I think my complaint is a valid one.

I thought that the sports were all in the same area? I'm never looking for it, however, so I'm not 100% sure.

They're all over the place. Here's tomorrow evenings college basketball schedule:

12:00 AM Utah State @ Nevada 126

7:00 PM Buffalo @ Bowling Green 122

7:00 PM Creighton @ Southern Illinois 107

7:00 PM Georgetown @ Notre Dame 181

7:00 PM Kent State @ Miami of Ohio 159

7:00 PM Kentucky @ Auburn 117


And this competes with the NBA and NHL. Saturdays are even more confusing, but you get my point.

when is stern on charlie rose?

This might be the best sit down of the year

from marksfriggin from today's show:

Howard gave everyone an update on his Charlie Rose interview. He's not doing it tonight because Charlie had to go out of town. He's not going to reschedule either because he was doing it as a favor for something he set up months ago.

looks like howie backed out of ths one...

I think he's just done doing interviews and seeing as how that was most likely the last one scheduled, he has no desire to reschedule it.

yeah, that could be it, good point. i wonder who/what the "favor" was for?

What kind of recievers to you guys have, where did you buy them, how much were they?

I'm in the market, ever since Howard left the radio the morning drive has been dreadful, plus I'm just so sick of commerical radio.

I got mine at Sirius.com. The receiver was $60 and it came with a $30 gift card. It took all of 10 minutes to set up in the car.

This is what I have:



Paid $50.00 bucks for it at Best Buy, and if you have a satellite compatible radio in your car, it's hand's down the best way to go. It's hidden behind the dash or under the seat, so it keeps the radio in-dash and you don't have any wires or clunky units hanging off your dashboard. It also gets better reception than the stand alone units. Only downside is the display is limited to whatever your car stere can produce, and you can't move it inside your home. On a tangent, if you have an aftermarket car stereo that says it's XM ready, there's adapters so you can still buy a sirius tuner (and vice versa).

I bought Sirius a little over a year ago. It's an Audiovox SIR-HK3 (I think no longer in production), which was right on the cusp of better technology. I paid $99 for it, plus an extra $50 for the car kit which was needed at the time. Months later I see that you really don't even need the car kit with some of the newer receivers. I mean, hell, some of them just clip on your visor. I got hosed, but I'm coming in loud and clear. My after market stereo is XM compatible, and I'm considering going with both but that seems like overkill to me. I'll probably just stick with Sirius.

Of course, I recommend Crutchfield.com for your purchase. This is where I bought mine, and I can't say enough how helpful and courteous they are. If you will install it yourself I don't think you could find a better place to shop. They'll send you free directions and offer phone assistance (but the directions are so good I've never had to use them). Good luck tager.

Does anyone know if the 60 Minutes piece done on Howard is available on bit torrent anywhere?

thanks Koko, you gay junkyard dog, you

What the hell is happening on Stern's show today?!

Henry Hill is a dicksucker? He takes it up the ass?

he was on the first week and mentioned it - he was "raped" and the perps videotaped it. he brought the videotape this morning - i'm not totally sure if i buy it.

i do want to try his sunday gravy, though.

Oh I know that...just all this other talk about how he's been sucking dick for awhile and all this other shit.

I think he's full of shit, too.

Ok. Who was the last male guest Stern's had that wasn't gay? I'm sensing a trend.

George Takei
The guys from The Bloodhound Gang
umm...Dead Air Dave was on yesterday. i don't think he's gay...

i think they're just doing a lot more gay stuff because they can on sirius. as stern said today, the strippers and stump the booey stuff will be back shortly.

I can't believe the all-Springsteen channel is going away this week. Why?!! I need to get an on-line petition or letter writing campaign going. Anyone with me or have any ideas where to start?

why is anyone listening to that? or the all elvis channel? that would drive me insane
I don't even have every springsteen cd and I sometimes hit skip when he comes up on my ipod

I don't listen to it for extended periods but they play a ton of rare unreleased and live stuff so I flip to it all the time. Plus, they play a full concert every night of the week. As a huge Springsteen fan w/out a lot of bootlegs, that's what I'm really gonna miss.

Elvis on the other hand. Who the hell needs that?

Bloodhound Guys are gay? I didn't know that.

they both have their pluses and minuses imo. that said i think Left of Center is better than any XM station of that style (XMU is crap comparatively).

i'm still bummed at the sound quality, but the content is definitely great no question about that.

I find most of XM unlistenable but I find myself listening to Ethel alot through my Directv. It kicks ass and is far better than Alt. Nation.

Danny Bonaduce is killing it right now. Would really love to see him stick around.

As for Springsteen, oh well...

I'm pretty sure he will.

I have XM and I love it. I really dig Fred, Ethel, Lucy, Squizz and Fungus.

I can't comment on XM's quality or the stations you mentioned, but if there was one thing that I thought was really lame when I checked out the in-store pamphlet were these names for these stations.

Have to agree with you there. I'm not quite sure what I Love Lucy has to do with alternative rock. Squizz and Fungus are just stupid.

technically no, but when they were on Howard on Thursday they were talking about the gay backstage stuff they do (or say they do): jacking each other off, showing dongs, etc.

they also like to pee in each other's drinks, but that's not really gay, just an interesting lifestyle choice.

I didn't hear that interview...they admitted to jacking each other off? Holy fucking shit is that gay.

Ethel is the greatest fucking station on the planet. I have Sirius and I praise that fucking XM channel!
