the ViRUS on Sirius 197 - pics
No shit, i upgraded my account today around 4:15, and i'm right now listening to the tuesday replay on my Sportster 5.
They're on Sirus 197, and their channel is called "XM 197"

Don't. Sirius's signal is shitty. Plus their music channels suck.
Wait till the new XM portable unit comes out, and get a-la-carte.

You two in this thread are probably the only ones that bought The Best of XM.
I cant see anyone signing up for it. Who knows what "The Virius" is.
Listening to NFL Radio on my Inno right now. Its ok. Not sure it was worth the upgrade.

imo, sports programming on sirius sucks.
idk how xm baseball and nhl work, but for sirius, they usually pick up the local team's fm/am feed. not amazing sound quality, and the sports pbp channel on sirius and the xm sports pbp channels all sound like shit. they're all virtual channels pointing to the 194 pbp channel. i forsee sirius having massive problems when games actually come on. they tried to do pbp channels earlier this summer, but the day after they got deployed, they shut them off.

Great line. 
Yeah, these pics need an object in the picture to give a sense of scale.

Somali pirates have hijacked a cargo ship filled with sirius sportsters. They have demanded $5 million dollars, 1 million for every unit that fit on the ship.

sirius's music is all overplayed stale stuff.
sirius's reception in the cleveland 'burbs is shit if you're trying to pick up a terrestrial signal. i've had to move my antenna a lot.
although Jason Ellis is funny on Faction

I got the best of sirius today, looking to go al carte as soon as I can. Its nice to have a variety of things to listen to. Always listen to O&A, Ron and Fez, and then tune into Howard for the replay. 101 is a waste of a channel

I suspect before to long the music channels on Sirius and XM will be identical.

I still want the boneyard thou.. I still want to listen to Eddie Trunk  But, so far the first day of the best of Sirius really did not excite me.... Its cool to have some new channels thou. I will see if the content gets any better, before deciding to keep it, or dump it.. Can't wait for al carte, so I can get breuer's show

I bought it. I am dropping XM. I prefer Sirius music of XM so they get the cut in these lean economic wall street to main street times.
So now it's 1 radio instead of 2 to carry around. Only issue so far is, XM stations are not part of the Stilleto radio WiFi programming.
We shall see how this goes....
