XM radio on DirectTV would you listen to the radio on TV?

[bestsynd]

This November, Directv started broadcasting 74 XM Satellite Radio stations on channels 801 through 879. All music styles are available from rock, pop, rap, country, classical, Opera, folk, R&B, jazz, Latino, sports, classics, show tunes, and kids tunes they are all there. They even have a special all Christmas channel on at this time.

I didn’t see talk radio however which is missing from the mix. This replaces the Music Choice audio stations that were broadcast before and now there are 25 more channels.

You won’t get all the channels with the Total choice, Seleccion Mas, Directv basic, or Preferred Choice. With these subscriptions you will get 50 audio channels, you won’t get the sports, kids music channels, some of the modern music, folk, show tunes, or international music channel. With the Total Choice PLUS, Total Choice Premier, Seleccion Ultra, and Seleccion Permier you will get 67 of the XM music channels. With the DirectTv Para Todos they will receive all the audio channels including the 7 XM Latin Music channels. If you are a Commercial Business customers will get all of the stations with the Latin music included.

XM Radio is now on Directv

Dish has serius (sp).

The stations are pretty good.

One of them is called garage and another is something like underground.

These off the wall ones play things you haven't heard in years!

Or they play things you never knew existed, like rare cuts of songs that you would recognise, but were never played commercialy.

The major problem with regular ol' commercial radio is programming.

Prior to the top 40 format ...radio was actually pretty entertaining ....and even after that concept....fairly entertaining...

Now...it is a lost cause........with the only interesting format being talk to a certain degree

Give me the daze of Wolfman Jack, Robert W. Morgan, The Real Don Steele, Hunter Hancock and Alan Freed....Where there was some real individiual trips going on... .....And a record could be broke locally....and become a national hit.

The regional sounds making the National charts are really a thing of the past and it has hurt music as a whole.....and radio is just a boring source of advertisment....

Between the Dish music lineup and this new satalite radio, I'll bet mine has access to about 100 music stations to choose from, commercial free.

I think I get about 4 blues stations and about 10 jazz or more!

I don't use it enough.

You can select things like 70's easy listening and the satelite has an all Elvis station, I kid you not.
