Something else I forgot to add about my Sirius radio. Crap - I can't remember what model I have. But it was one of the cheaper models, so most probably have it. And I'd be surprised if XM doesn't have this feature: You can pause the radio. All that you listen to gets saved, until you change the channel. It can save up to about 45 minutes of music or 90 minutes of talk radio. If you pause it, it'll save that time. Then, you come to a song you don't like, and rather than look for another station, just hit fast-forward once, and it goes to the next song saved. And so on.

yeah xm has that its called a myfi, its portable as well and holds up to 4 hours of programming.

but if i was to buy a new one, id but the inno, iab and papa might not like it, but i really like the design of it, small, compact and can fit in your pocket.

There is also an all NASCAR channel on Sirius, 128 I believe.

Plus you can listen to the in-car conversations of 10 drivers and their pit crews if that's your cup of tea.

When XM and Sirius merge, it won't matter.

BTW jo, if you want it solely for hockey, you should go with XM.

Here's the Sirius Channel Guide: SIRIUS Satellite Radio - Sirius Satellite Radio Channel Guide, Sirius Radio Channel Guide, Sirius Radio Station Guide

well Nascar races might not be on XM but they still have nascar channels.

I dont listen to the music or the sports stations very often(only when o&a are suspended), my xm is set to 202 and rarely changes.

202 is "The Virus" it is the Opie and Anthony channel. I love listening to those guys and all the comedians they always bring into the studio.

I call them both douchebags, that works best for me. I am a Stern fan but I like other funny shows too. That is why I don't like those two morons, they aren't funny. Besides I listen to Stern so I don't have to listen to them, they do his bits a month or so later so I have pretty much already heard them all. Get some originality guys.....

common now, you cant honestly say that they arent funny. you can say they suck (obviously because your a stern fan) but if they werent funny they wouldnt be on the air and to boot, in as many markets as they are.

Granted they arent doing the best in alot of markets but they will get there.

Howard didnt start off at the top each time he got a new market and neither will these guys.

Take off the stern goggles for once and see that you are just being a homer about this.

as someone else said.....zero.point.zero.....amazing that you could go a ratings book with virtually no listeners in a city. I listened to them a couple times when I heard about them and honestly did not find them funny. XM thought so much of them that they let them go on regular radio too, since no one signed up for them on XM, then they bomb there too. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

i'd like to see where you heard they had a 0.0 the only place that was mentioned was on sterns show. I have never found it in any research i have done on it. Every stern fan brings it up, but as always stern fills his listeners with lies and bull shit.

Would you guys get this defensive if somebody insulted your family?

You just can't have a discussion about radio around here without it devolving into a pissing match between fanboys.

i just find it funny people with siruis (most of which) never listen to O&A say they suck just because howard says they do.

wow those guys are the ultimate fanboys.... I would never get that worked up over it. Most everyone knows O&A are pathetic losers, no need to start a riot over it.......

Absolutely, Orifice and Anal are just two of the many Howard impersonators. We'll see what happens to them after the merger.
