Irie Guy Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) I think the NBA switch was probably in the works prior to the merger finalization. If the merger happened or not you would have still lost they NBA this year.CDN subscribers at this point cannot pay extra to get the Best of XM. Will that change?? Who knows??

MoMack Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 So Sirius isn't getting rid of the Dead channel and Jam-On?If both of those are on both - which do you recommend? And if you subscribe in Canada, doesn't it work when you go south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Here's the clusterfuck - in Canada Sirius and XM have not merged, and I don't see that happening in the future. NO WAY the "best of XM" will be offered to Canadians. Bouche, you linked to the plans on the US Sirius site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Bouche, you linked to the plans on the US Sirius site.I thought I got there via the canadian site. It looked to me like everything was still good to go. I don't think this has anything to do with Sirius, but those assholes that regulate them.

d_rawk Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't think this has anything to do with Sirius, but those assholes that regulate them. Funny, I thought it had to do with two companies with untenable business models trying desperately to stay afloat another year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnt Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 So Sirius isn't getting rid of the Dead channel and Jam-On?No. At least not at the moment.If both of those are on both - which do you recommend?Hard to say, I've been a Sirius subscriber for the last 6 months and haven't listened to XM, at least not until wednesday.And if you subscribe in Canada, doesn't it work when you go south?As a truck driver that spends over half the week in the states, yes your subscription still works in the US if you're a Canadian subsciber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Sirius/XM are working with the CRTC as we speak to make sure we have the same company in canada that exists in the US. I heard that from a very reliable source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishin4mango Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 is anyone else not quite as happy with the new "left of centre" which is now sirius XM U?? i am not finding the programming as good as it was before.....also the 80's on 8 station isn't as good as the old sirius 80's station, but that doesn't really matter to me in the long run..a* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieRamser Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Sirius also gained deeptracks on channel 16 in place of the vault and it kicks ass. Sirius subscribers now get Bob Dylans and Tom Pettys show where we couldn't before. We now have willie's place too. Sirius subscribers don't have to worry about losing jam-on and the dead at all.

Radiohead? Oasis? On a college indie channel in 2008? Count me among the terribly dissappointed with this particular merger decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMack Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Anyone have any preferences now? Looks like I may have to break down and buy either XM or Sirius for Saturday's show. Hoping I can get a one month only subscription (hey, its still less than face right?)Should I go XM or Sirius?I've found the XpressEZXM and the Sirius Sportster 4 both for $29.99 from Radio Shack. Not sure if they have everything I need or not, but it should be close... Dead channel still seems to be kicking on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
