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! ]]>

Sirius Trouble Ahead http://seekingalpha.com/article/124475-sirius-trouble-ahead?source=feed#comment-416579 416579 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:03:15 -0500 New Sirius Channel Line-ups Cause Stir http://seekingalpha.com/article/105732-new-sirius-channel-line-ups-cause-stir?source=feed#comment-308462 308462 The music is the same guys, SXM will continue offer the programming but in perhaps a slightly different format. I am a jazz listener, so I lost my Sirius channel to XM's Watercolors, yeh, so what......One week later I can not even remember what the Sirius channel was called! Sounds ok to me. Now, the Rock channels lost buzzsaw, you can find the same thing just listen. In fact, I like the way they went all the way back to the 40's music stuff, not that I am going to listen but if you buy mom and dad a receiver, maybe they will like to hear all the music of their era. Buy them one for Christmas.

What we need is to stop the worry about the little stuff, consolidation is a must to bring down costs, period. Save your energy for the announcement of the refinancing, if indeed it ever happens. I just hope that it happens soon!]]>

Sirius XM Releases 5-Year Guidance: Aggressive or Conservative? http://seekingalpha.com/article/104451-sirius-xm-releases-5-year-guidance-aggressive-or-conservative?source=feed#comment-299873 299873
Why not leave this company alone for, perhaps 3 years. Come back and see if its' still at 26 cents. If it is, maybe you should buy some more in it, because its' still in business! ]]>

They will meet their Feb. obligation and we will go from there.

But if you have a better way of coming up with the debt money why not explain it to everybody here? ]]>

Here's what I think. Times are tough and Mels going to talk about that but there will be a debt payment surprise. Siri will announce some good news on that front. It must be good news and they know it. They have been really busting gut on this topic. Restructuring, cost savings, etc, they know what they have to do. ]]>

Is Wienkes Hobbling Sirius XM? http://seekingalpha.com/article/102607-is-wienkes-hobbling-sirius-xm?source=feed#comment-294034 294034
Ok, enough of that, but I just had to give my two cents about how much I find it surprising that a big firm, well....ok, big honest firm like Goldman could have whimpering guys tracking penny, sorry, nickel stocks like Siri.]]>

We are just about to hear the news that you all have been wanting to hear. Mel and company have been just doing what they need to do to report as well as they can and give some insight to the Feb. note. I guarantee you that a definite plan is in the works. The companies stock is widely held by institutions and their not bailing out. Why do you think that Siri just raised $30MM? That's part of the plan stupid!
Everyone is pointing the finger at a guy who is working his ass off trying to make deals for the company. Please stop the insults and whining. Do you think you are qualified to become a millionare on a "get lucky" siri stock. Even with all of the money in the world you would still be a little whiny you. Get off Mels back and support what they are trying to do. ]]>
