When they moved 144 to Korean Talk, I cancelled, and went with XM. Looks like I made the right decision thanks to Roscoe:

1. True, I'm not renewing.

[blue sky at night]

2. sorry to say I had to go with xm also.

I wish that AAR wouldn't have done what they did, but money talks. I am very, very happy that Ed Schultz is moving to 165 and Randi is going for the full four hours as of September 1st. We all need to begin hammering on xm about the Mike Malloy show. Thanks for the update, my son is a Sirius Subscriber and he is looking at a new indash xm. BTW, anyone interested in the xm Roady Two, I saw it at ECost.com for $50.00.....with a 45.00 rebate, that's FIVE BUCKS after rebate.

3. Yeah, we lost AAR and got Howard Stern. What a great trade.

NOT!

I would get rid of it if we weren't getting it for free.

Thank God for webStreams, or I'd have no AAR at all!

7. fine if they wanted Stern, but NOT for 100 million a year

for five years, and at a cost of getting rid of liberal talk

4. The title of the op got me excited.

Dam dam dam.

[still_one]

6. sorry I really didn't mean to mislead anyone

[jillan]

11. It was just wishful thinking on my part. I am really pissed about

them dropping AAR - I know it supposedly came from AAR, but I'm stuck with them until Dec. I never listen anymore. My kids do listen in the car to music. $300 down the drain.

13. I know how you feel

I went with Sirius because of AAR uninterrupted

Anyway, I was able to cancel without a cancellation fee, so you could always ask. You should be able to sell the Sirius radio on ebay. I imagine Stern should increase the demand

If you can't sell, there is at least Thomm Hartman for 1 hour, and Bill Press. Young Turks sometimes are NOT too bad, and Stephanie Miller is great, but only one hour, and time delayed

5. Sirius is going after th "urban" and "hip" market

Very youth oriented music wise - at least that is what the radio guy told me when I was comparison shopping. - I chose XM and am glad I did. but I wish even they would have another channel besides AAr and NPR for progressive slants.

8. I have two questions.

1) I am thinking of asking for this for my birthday (Hubby would get it three months early):

What do you think?

2) I'm on a month-to-month Sirius plan; would I pay a cancellation fee?

[still_one]

9. I didn't have to pay a cancelation fee

and I was on a yearly contract with Sirius. They credited my account for the remaining time

As far as the MyFi, it would be safer to buy through CNET

I have done business with Abe's of Maine with very good results. They have a secure web site and the price is about the same:

You may also want to look at the Pioneer AirWare:

check other ratailers also, but make sure they are rated high

10. Thanks.

Am researching it all.

12. I'm a happy 3 year XM Subscriber who'll be getting another..

subscription when I get my new Honda Ridgeline next month with built-in XM Radio. I'm so glad I went with XM 2 yrs ago and don't have to deal with all this drama.

For once it's good to be part of a winning team. When I bought my XM Roadie for traveling, Sirius was just coming out so I got lucky.

14. Is it a PROGRESSIVE Korean channel? n/t

[Maat]

15. Ha!

Now THAT'S funny.
