They got rid of many of my favorite shows and channels. As it turns out, it was the best thing that happened to me because it forced me to turn to the internet. I use pandora for music and get my racing fill from WFORADIO.com. The host was on XM when I first subscribed, now I can listen for FREE. I can listen from my iPhone when I'm out or from my pc at home. I even use my XM car adaptor to listen from my phone thru the car stereo. If I miss a live show I can go back and listen. Its like having Tivo for the radio. I even email the shows to my friends. The internet is WAY better and the price is right.Jasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-2468186688010368472010-01-05T22:46:33.727-05:002010-01-05T22:46:33.727-05:00It would be nice to get it on the iPhone app. I...It would be nice to get it on the iPhone app. I'm sure that it would add to the listeners they could use to sell ad time.

I have the kind that's like an MP3/iPOD. Unless I get some kind of dock thingy, I can only listen via ear buds. ( I haven't opened the package as I may be selling it.)<br /><br />I'm guessing since this is a portable model, it would work at an office, gym or anywhere else. True? If so, why wouldn't Sirius radio buyers just get this kind of model to listen anywhere? Sorry I drifted off topic.<br /><br />I get what you are saying about ch 128 being available on the internet. I would much rather listen to it thru my computer speakers and not pay for other channels.<br /><br />BTW, i started this when there were 2 comments.

Not sure when, but I think very soon. WiFi capabilities already being put in cars (Ford is releasing or has released) - it will be a connection point for mobile devices to bring the internet to the automobile, and basically make the car a hotspot.<br /><br />I cancelled my XM subscription in January 09, after they cancelled the only 'Total Motorsports' (not just NASCAR) show on XM - it was present for over 4 years as 'Wide Open' and finished as 'Power Shift' and hosted by Joe Castello along with sidekick Thommy Noodlez. Joe now has his own internet location called WFO Radio (http://wforadio.com), and broadcasts live 4 evenings a week in the off season and on demand podcasts. He covers all motorsports - NASCAR, NHRA, F1, IndyCar, sportcars. The live broad cast, archives and site are completely mobile friendly. You can stream live from an iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Phone - just about anything that has internet access - plus download any show instantly and put on iPod. I heard iTunes subscription is coming soon. It's worth the checking out, and saving anywhere from $12-$30 on multiple satellite receivers that are not as mobile as a pc, netbook, or mobile phone.<br /><br />It's getting big, and Sirius will not brave the storm - it's just how long can they keep the ship from sinking. I can get nearly everything (outside of a few syndicated big wig shows) right off the internet (such as my iPhone with Slacker Radio or Pandora and the vast other options out there). I just hook up my adapter in the car and play thru my radio. I'm already paying big bucks for the data plan on my phone, I don't need to be redundant and pay for XM for any reason.skippypgdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-72395518308221150732010-01-05T13:19:36.038-05:002010-01-05T13:19:36.038-05:00JD, would you mind reminding me again of what podc...JD, would you mind reminding me again of what podcast you are regularly featured on?

Maybe, just maybe, if some of the content is NOT controlled by NASCAR, ISC or SMI, we, the fans, might even get content that is NOT as biased as the coverage is now. Sometimes the shows that are currently aired on Sirius through the season (not races) make me feel as if they are so interested in toeing the company line that they aren't worthwhile. I'll admit to having changed the station if I feel the fans are being bashed.<br /><br />For the record, I have a Sirius receiver that I use in the car and I bought a "boombox" style version to have in the house so I could bring it inside to listen. However, you still have to be able to put the antenna OUTSIDE to pickup the satellite feed and that means you need to have a window that faces the proper direction to pick up the satellite.<br /><br />I can't bring the rig to my office BECAUSE like many others, I don't have access to an outside window with the right aspect for the antenna -- streaming through my computer or phone would solve that issue.<br /><br />I have no problem with paying for the content I listen to. I bought my Sirius radio and pay for the subscription mostly so I could listen to NASCAR. Having the addition of being able to listen via internet as an alternative would be great.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-53046829280994970022010-01-05T12:14:08.109-05:002010-01-05T12:14:08.109-05:00I basically have never even had a desire for Siriu...I basically have never even had a desire for Sirius radio with other internet alternatives.

I need something different to listen to. I don't quite understand how satellite radio works either. It seems like it's always about spending more money. Years ago when my son was attending Georgia Tech and calling the basketball, hockey & baseball games I could listen to live streaming via WREK and that was great it was like I was there in person and that was free.Vicky Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084198036514255332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24239434460772617822010-01-05T09:28:13.324-05:002010-01-05T09:28:13.324-05:00Steve,

Sirius does not work indoors (for example in an office) without a designated satellite antenna.<br /><br />It does not go to the health club, or have any level or portability.<br /><br />For NASCAR fans, the choice between buying a receiver and paying for all the Sirius channels and being able to click and listen online to 128 only is not a tough call.<br /><br />This is an additional revenue stream that none of the parties can grasp. Profit sharing or even a season for free would bring an entirely new audience. <br /><br />I already use podcasts and live Internet radio as a Sirius alternative. Pretty soon this might not be an issue at all. <br /><br />JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-92206757677351266432010-01-05T08:54:23.596-05:002010-01-05T08:54:23.596-05:00Seems like we are just beating a dead horse.
