Re: Sirius Online Player now has AutocaptchaandweBlindpeoplearelockedout.
Well, I happen to be a fan of Opie & Anthony, but to each his own. This is why these satellite services have so many programming choices. If you don't like something, you got 2 choices my friend. Switch it off, or change the station and find something else more to your liking. I can understand not liking O&A but I happen to like them. So hey...

RE: Sirius Online Player now has AutocaptchaandweBlindpeoplearelockedout.
It would be hard to give you an answer because it depends a lot in what you're looking for. There used to be a big price difference but there isn't any more. Having both services I find myself listening to Sirius more because I like Jazz, sports and talk. Sirius gives me most of what I need there. I have XM because they carry baseball and the ACC conference in college football and basketball. They also carry two talk channels that Sirius doesn't carry, but the problem I have with XM music is first of all their programming sounds like Clear Channel and secondly Sirius has what I need. As a matter of fact if it weren't for the sports that I can't get on Sirius, XM would be gone. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Seed Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 11:04 PM To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: Sirius Online Player now has AutocaptchaandweBlindpeoplearelockedout.
Bob, look at the channel line up. I prefer XM because of their sports. Sirius has the better straight ahead jazz channel but both services have their strong points and weak points. XM doesn't interupt their talk with sports, and XM has a better old time radio channel because Sirius will play hour shows and devide them up i to half hour parts and not play the second half. If I had one I would get XM but that just me. Whey people knock Sirius for Howard Stern when XM has Opie and antheney who are just as bad I'll never get that.
