Thanks for the info.

I am glad they moved the Playboy channel from 198. My daughter would get in my Jeep and change the station to channel 1 but sometimes she would go one channel too far and be on 198. I almost wrecked a couple times trying to change the channel.

Yup, been looking at the email I get from XM... now I gotta learn a few new stations... Not a big fan of the Sirius lineup, but hopefully some of the good things will merge together. Just wish some of the premium stations were on both (without extra charge) like NFL and Nascar (which started on XM then moved to sirius after i got xm )

They merged a lot of the channels. The took the "best" of each and made pretty much one lineup for both.

I like it as i liked some of the XM channels and some of the Sirius, so now i have everything plus the "best of XM", gotta have O&A

I never had to pay extra for mine. it just changed the station on me this morning. I was wondering why my rock station preset turned into a techno station.

My favorite two stations got canned too...Punk on Sirius and Fungus on XM are both gone. Seems like a horrible waste of bandwidth to dedicate two satellite systems to carrying virtually identical programming too. I'd rather see more diverse programming with less overlap between the two systems.

Now if they'd just merge the billing systems so I could get the multi-radio discount on my XM receiver too. (2 Sirius and 1 XM here.)
