Satellite radio

Hubby just got Sirius radio (in anticipation for Howard crossing over in January.) I have to say, it's great! Cool stations, no crappy commercials, loving scrolling through to see what's on without having to actually change what I'm listening to.

My only issue is that it went "out" a few times - dead air for a few secs in the middle of a song for no apparent reason.

Also the fact that the 80's station was playing Michael Jackson every 4th song by request.

Now I love me some P.Y.T. and all, but every 4th song was a bit much.

In the span of about an hour yesterday, I heard YMLF on 1 station, Stand Back on another & Spare Me a Little on a third.

Anyone else have Sirius or XM? Things you love about it? Hate?

I LOVE Howard Stern - yes, he's raunchy, he oogles women, he is male chauvanist pig - but I love him anyway!!!!!

Well, for a long time in the '80s, that's about how it was. Hey, they could be playing Soft Cell every 4th request.

Sirius or XM for our car (Mainly for Deb to listen to on her drives to work), But I feel it would probably be a waste of time since I have a large enuff music collection that makes radio obsolete to me

Still may get it for her for her upcoming 42nd birthday in July
