I know there's a lot of sports fans here and I was wondering how many of you all have Sirus XM? I got XM a few years ago when Nascar was still on there and the year I got it they moved to Sirus. I liked the MLB and IRL side of it and I mainly just listen to the Virus on 202 for Ron and Fez (noon to three). But now you can get the best of Sirus on your XM and it offers all the NFL and Howard (who cares).

Isn't there something about them going bankrupt?
I wonder if that's going to cut them back to nothing but a handful of music options.

We as a family(sort of) have Sirius. I like it a lot. I listened to a Packer game or 2 on there it's nice.
I mostly listen to Howard and Howard 101.
I listen to that Lithium channel while I play PS3. I put on PIP and change the audio source to PIP. I have Directv so it gets that station. Love doing that.

My wife's car has "XM Everything" which includes some of the Sirius stations but not many. She likes it, I am ok with it. I do like that you can listen commercial free if you want to. Haven't really had a chance to listen to much sporting action on it, only sports talk. I had Ron and Fez on and my 6 year old niece was in the car and one of those guys drops the "F Bomb" while talking. Needless to say, you have to watch out what you are listening to on there. We ended up tuning in to Disney radio which was much better for her ears.

There is a rumor going around that they are going to file for bankruptcy but Liberty Media invested in the company today. They need to restructure, if they did decide to file they could free up a lot of money, like the $500 million they're paying Howard. Bubba is on that channel which is cool but he's also on terrestrial radio here in Tampa so the only difference is he can curse. In a world where the FCC has a tight grip on the gonads of radio, television, and soon the internet, it seems to be the only option to get quality programing you remember about 10 years ago. |

We have quite a few satellite stations on DirecTV, and I've channeled them over from the receiver to our surround sound system, so we can listen to the music without turning on the TV itself.
You just have to remember which channel numbers you like most, so you can punch them in, or you can go to 801 and surf on up.
