DirectTV Switching to XM for Music Channels

That's actually a really good idea, because their current music channels are horrible.

Quote:
Great tunes. Great talk. Get more with DIRECTV.

On November 15, DIRECTV launches XM Satellite Radio, America's #1 satellite radio service with 5 million subscribers, on channels 801 through 879. Enjoy America's Largest Playlist with a wide range of music genres, talk shows and more.

Love music? We've got you covered.
XM Satellite Radio is just one way we're bringing you the best music around. We also show exciting concerts from top artists every weekend with DIRECTV® FREEVIEW® events. And we've got more to come in 2006.

Moving Up to XM Satellite Radio
With the XM Satellite Radio launch, music channel names and numbers will change from the current lineup. XM Satellite Radio will replace MUSIC CHOICE, offering more channels and choices for customers with each programming package. An updated channel lineup will be available on this page soon.

Base Package Updates

TOTAL CHOICE® customers will receive 50 XM music channels
TOTAL CHOICE® PLUS customers will receive 67 XM music channels
TOTAL CHOICE® PREMIER customers will receive 67 XM music channels
DIRECTV PARA TODOS® customers will receive 7 Latin Music XM music channels in addition to their regular package selection.

Commercial Business customers will receive all XM channels carried by DIRECTV, including 7 Spanish-language channels.*
I wonder how long it'll take Dish Network to start using Sirius....

My subscriptionfor the unit in the car has already renewed after a year. I was listening to it on Dish quite a while before I went out and bought that unit.

Sounds great on the Home Theater. MK sub does wonders with it

Two 12" woofers and a 12"subwoofer do push air!!

Where I live in the suburbs of Portland - Comcast digital has a truly shitty picture. The locals had ghosts and the rest was fuzzy with drop outs! Even with their amplifier it sucked.

The Comcast phone is great for what little we use it and the broadband rocks. Just downloaded the Star Wrecks movie while my wife was playing WOW online with me wandering all over the forums and news sites that I frequent--Nothing slowed down.

But to say it again. The cable part of it SUCKED!!

Dish Network is crystal clear and the HD is great. Just not enough of it
