I for one cant wait for the receivers to go on sale, and I will gladly
pay the $15 a month to subscribe.
I commute nearly 2 1/2 hours a day round trip, and I take routes that
take me from near Guelph to Hamilton, so traffic reports every 5 minutes
about the 401 or Don Valley parkway or Islington and Bloor don't really
interest me.
I wake up to 680News, so I already know what happened while I was
sleeping, and don't need a recap every 30 minutes.
I have never been influenced by the commercials I hear, not having
purchased Sleep Country Matresses, AlarmForce Home Security Systems and
do not suffer from mental depression that I need to listen to former
loser heroin skanks whine about wrong coices they made in life but how
CAMH helped them.
I just want to listen to music, uninterrupted, for the nice leisurly
drive through the Halton Hills while go to and from work.
Satellite Radio is my salvation. Pop the unit in, tune to all jazz, and
thats it...no irritating DJ's talking about shit I don't care about, no
commercials, no traffic, weather and news updates, just music.
If it only lasts a year, which I doubt, it will be one year of bliss.
Some of you negative nellies who piss on everything because, well, thats
the type of fuckturds you are, seem to forget that there are more people
outside Toronto and Ottawa.
There are millions and millions of people who live in places that do not
have access to the CN Tower, and can't pick up terrestial radio other
than maybe one or two FM stations that play songs none of us have ever
heard of. It's these same people who purchased ExpressVU and StarChoice
systems to get TV that wasn't available in their rural areas.
Now these same people will purchase satellite radio for their cars and
home, to listen to jazz, rock, classical and other music, NOT AVAILABLE
OUTSIDE TORONTO!! Get it??
Just once in your lives, take your head out of your ass and imagine how
someone else lives and thinks, and maybe you'll see that not only are
there other points of view, but that not everyone thinks in such a small
and limited scope.

Because not everyone is 22 years old and has the time to download and
burn....some of us are older, and have other things to worry about, like
jobs, homes, families, responsibilites that eat up our time...just wait, in
10 - 15 years, you'll be one of us, old, balding, unable to get it up, up to
your neck in debt, shitty in laws, demanding bosses, and then, you'll wonder
where all the spare time went to LOL

Ummmm, I'm turning 37 on Thursday (I'll let you wish me a Happy Birthday on
the 24th, unless you want to now).
I'm 14, 000 in debt on a Pres. Choice Mastercard, own a house that is
bleeding me dry (which is partly why I said, in the firstplace, that
downloadnig is better: cheaper) and I have a family, as well as an 70 pound
ball of passive-agressive Chow Chow. As for the demanding boss and
inability to get it up-don't have that problem... er, yet. As for time, I
believe it was Shakespeare (or maybe it was Chris Elliot) who once said
'Those who have no time never seem to do anything with it... ' OK, I
honestly don't remember the quote, but it was basically that it's EASY to
find the time and the people that complain most about NOT having time are
the ones doing the least with the time they have.

Exactly right on Stern. I'd have paid $20 a month to Sirius Canada if they
were caryring Stern. But I knew they wouldn't, THEY knew all along they
wouldn't and I just went and got set up with the REAL Sirius so I can
continue to listen. Thanks CBC-you're fucking your own success in the ass
because you don't want Stern. I'm in Canada, I'm still going to get him and
you guys aren't seeing a cent of my money.
Yet somehow douchebags like Opie and Anthony WILL be on the air in Canada.

Both XM and Sirius are struggling to make a profit in the US so good

radio right now but unless they are charging less then $8 a month most
Canadians that are cheap would pass.

I think you're right about people wanting to tune out traditional radio
stations and their disc jockeys and their bullshit ads.
I hope this kills AM radio, but it probably won't. Whatever happened to
the desired "CD Radio" where the AM and FM band would disappear along w/
stations licenses and CD Radio would replace it (also making ANY
radio/stereo/clock radio obsolute!)? That was expected years ago and to
have launched around this time.

If they were starting over from scratch, launching new satellites,

They're not.
The infrastructure is already in place, they're just opening up their
potential market to include significantly more customers.

Personally, the lack of Stern is a semi-positive thing for me -- I don't

However, I'd be willing to pay exactly what I pay for Shaw's digital
music (which is both mtrax and galaxie): $1.99/month. I don't really
need portability, I just want digital music in my house.
If the programming is substantially better, I'll look into it, but
otherwise, why bother?

About the only "DJ" you'll get is some replays of the old '60s Wolfman

"Fuckturd"? Is that the extend or you communication skills or was that
actually over your level and you had to look that up?
As far as my opinion about the DJs, it applies to the channels I listen to
and is accurate. Music choice had no talking on the channels I listened to
and XM does. It has also gotten worse over the coarse of the last several
years. That is a matter of how it is and not just my opinion. As far as
the stations I don't listen to, I could care less cause I don't listen to
them.
But please don't allow facts to get in the way of expressing your opinions
with all those communication skills you are acquiring. It would be a shame
to think some one else disagrees with you and becomes a "Fuckturd".
