Sirius XM Merger, Am I the Only One Annoyed? (6 posts)

So Sirius and XM announced their new channel listings yesterday and by "announce" I mean "you woke up yesterday and your channels were all different."

I've got Sirius and 2/3 of the channels I listen to regularly are just gone.  Not replaced, just *gone.*  XM users got it worse.  Am I the only one thinking that paying $13/mo for two channels is about $13 too much?

I'm an annoyed XM user, with three radios. It's 4 extra dollars per account a month for 8 Sirius channels, three of which seem to be for NASCAR.

We have two.  My wife thinks Howard is worth $13 on his own, but I don't think he's worth the $6 we spend on mine, much less the $13 on hers.

I mean they had two classic hip-hop channels pre merger now they have *NONE*.  That's just ridiculous.

Is getting internet radio via cellular networks a viable option in the U.S. yet?

American cell phone companies love crippling phones and lagging behind the rest of the world more than anything.

Yeah, it's a little weird that the Philippines probably has better cell phone networks than the U.S., but barely has a functioning Air Force.
