SiriusXM and Cancellations

[macgoldfan]

With satellite radios in most cars now I never understood why they didn't just have 6-10 channels going free all the time with advertising of course and pushing their service.

The compression on Sirius was much worse in the early days of Sirius (pre-Stern). I've been a Sirius subscriber since 2004.

That being said, the audio quality has not improved at all in about a decade's time. I may hold an unpopular view, but I wish the number of channels would be reduced in order to improve overall audio quality.

As poor as Sirius XM's audio processing sounds, I've heard plenty of HD2 & HD3 FM signals that sound worse. I've even heard a few analog FM stations that sound worse (I would certainly place 89X in that category; everything sounds squooshed).

Compression as in lossy data reduction, not the DBX type of analog processing. They're pushing out twice as many shows. as they did on the same bandwidth, correct?

Nobody is listening, there is no point.

Talk to people outside of this forum who're not infected with this radio hobby, and you'll find that few people "do radio".
