Galaxy NationExplore the other side of the universe. Discuss AM/FM, XM, DISH, DirecTV, HD Radio, and all mp3 players. Here you can also discuss the ins and outs of tomorrow's radio technology...where music and satellites collide. Who said it's not rocket science?!?
I think the impression from your topic was that you were trying to say that SIRIUS is like FM. I think if had been Why SIRIUS is better than FM?
We know its doesn't equal it, its much, much, much better in every aspect except maybe the interactive area. I do enjoy the no commercials on the music streams, along with variety and having a signal just about no matter where I am. Might seem silly, but I even like messing around with the equipment at times. Also, I like hearing the hits, though not over and over.
XM, I also like but for different reasons, they do have some commercials, no big deal yet, variety in a different way, more eclectic, which isn't a bad thing at times. Cinemagic, Audiovisions, Special X, Watercolors is what make XM worth it to me. Again, you can tune in no mater where you are and that is sweet.
I still prefer SIRIUS because overall I prefer the hits. Simple as that. One of you jokers will have to say, but you can hear the hits on FM. NO YOU CANNOT. So don't even go there.
OK, my Sirius is now in the office with me as well. (love that Shuttle PNP) and I will have to say that I have not been satisfied with radio since I left northeastern NJ last winter.
Now I have my NYC metro styled radio back. - And it is commercial free!
And it is worth every penny.
Now where is the stream that is similar to WPLJ???
But I am thrilled that no one copies the train wreck style of WCBS with 60's Beachboys into 80's Michael Jackson. Yuck!

CBS-FM's a has been! I've had Sirius since May and I haven't tuned in CBS-FM or any NYC FM music station since.
By comparison to where I live, NYC FM's are a radio lovers paradise and the AM are filled with every extreme opinion possible. In my part of the world, our local radio has been destroyed by ClearChannel which is why I waited for the audiovox unit because CC is an investor in XM.
That opinion is no reflection of the personnel at CC stations because they are just doing the job that they are being instructed to do.

Or both...

And when I drive through the NYC metro, which happens from time to time, I don't even turn Sirius off. Why would I? (well, unless some pesky passenger just HAS to listen to what passes for radio on FM these days..)
Why Satellite Radio is better!
