Sirius lineup changes

pseto · 11-12-2008, 09:16 AM

anyone notice the Sirius changes today? I didnt even know it was coming

i figured the XM merger would call for some changes, but i was just expecting more channels. they consolidated duplicate programming which i understand, but they got rid of a few stations altogether

Sirius has made channel changes which are good, but I just spoke with Sirisu and it seems they have not moved over some premium items such as sports and Opra. Something about contract obligations.

Also, the current receiver in my 06 325i is not compatible with Sirius upgrade to select the best of XM. Sirius' solution was for me to buy a receiver from Best Buy

. I politely explained that this is typical of business to tell the government one thing to get approval and then operate totally differently with the consumer. I have promptly filed a complaint with the FCC today.

Yeah, the Best of Sirius programming "package" sucks. We'll see how this turns out, but not a good start for Sirius XM...

i cant believe they took away Backspin

DoNDoN · 11-14-2008, 08:47 AM

When did this change happen? So I get back and some of my channels might be gone?

f10mmmmm · 11-14-2008, 08:57 AM

11/12. Yes, possibly.

DoNDoN · 11-14-2008, 09:09 AM

Oh well. Its free for a year and if it got worse then I just wont sign up for it again.

Monday morning for the commute the sirius went through the update and then poof - The Vault was replaced with Deep Tracks.

Never was a huge fan of Deep Tracks since I get it for free on my DirecTV receiver. That was one of the reasons I went with Sirius over XM.

At least Pat St John was moved to Deep Tracks.

Oh well, I can always switch to another satellite provider ... oh that's right there are no others.

I know - unbelievable - my wife called me at work the other day, freaked out b/c the channel had disappeared. It was one of our favorite channels.

great news!!! Backspin is coming back

Sirius should have never taken it off the air in the first place.
