Online Music Will Not Replace Satellite Radio

Lets see.........I did the right thing by finally purchasing the lifetime subscription to SXM. The way I looked at it was I have been a sub for 2 years and well, it would add up to a lot of money even at my age. So at 59, I took the plunge. If I live to 78, probably not but, thats 6,935 days (yikes) divided into $399.00. which is .0575342 per day. What a bargin and a reason to stay alive!

My experience on the iPhone is Pandora is just OK. I listen to it once and a while at the gym and frankly its typicall AT&T dropped service stuff. So, I take a break and pull out the phone and "cue" it back up again. Thats not to mention the programming is limited, right? Hey, SXM has so much content, I have yet to hear most of it. When I am in my car off on a long drive, I sometimes get tired of Watercolors so I switch over to Blue Neck comedy, or over to Howard, or to CNN or Sports.

Finally, and worth noting, I have a older Starmate that works just fine. I have a computer "Altec Lansing" sound system, a Radio Shack transformer, and a outdoor antenna. I take this stuff in a cardboard box when I am on the road and presto, SXM right there entertaining me. Try to go up in the mountains at 7000 ft. and get cell service, really, good luck!

Brandon, thanks for the positive views on SXM, you know like us, we have a winner here and the real big stuff, not just what SXM comes up with but Liberty too promises to be exciting goodies!
