No DISH just carries the Sirius music channels. (For some reason they do not carry the kids channel which stinks as that my sons favorite channel)
They carry "sirius special?" that seems to change a different non carried channel every month i.e internet only music channelsNo DISH just carries the Sirius music channels. (For some reason they do not carry the kids channel which stinks as that my sons favorite channel)
Yet you paid big money to listen to the MP3 audio quality of SiriusXM?C/D's are so yesterday. -----------
That is why it is probably different for me. My TV is seldom on.Yikes! I'm sure we all have plenty big A/V setups.
I like Sirius on Dish because The TV is always on it's just one button to switch from TV to music and the artists and titles bounce around the big screen. And I can start listening to 50's on 5, pause that, switch to TV2 and tune in 60's on 6. Then after a half hour or so channel 5 has enough in the buffer that you can FWD through loser songs on that channel. Eventually both TV1 and TV2 buffers are full and you can flip between channels just listening to your favorites. I usually do this an evening every month or two.
I live where there is plenty of broadcast music and I haven't listened to an OTA radio station in about 5 years.In many regions of the country the broadcast music offerings aren't particularly varied and oftentimes not appealing at all. If you lived in such an area, it would surely make more sense to you.
And yet you're here.That is why it is probably different for me. My TV is seldom on.

Like I said in my previous post, I do realize that many do like the music stations. It is nice that they have this option available for those that want to take advantage.I hook my 772k to my stereo system and play Sirius that way.
When baseball season starts and it is 100+ degrees outside then my TV is on a lot.And yet you're here.
I guess I shouldn't stereotype Dish TV posters as boob tube addicts like me.
My brother and I each have friends like you. His buddy lives on a mountain in upstate New York and hikes through the forest in snow shoes when he's not downhill skiing like your avatar shows. My friend is in the mid-west and cross country skis but in the summer goes on month long walkabouts in the Rockies with no tent or gun.When baseball season starts and it is 100+ degrees outside then my TV is on a lot.
I am an outdoors mountain man. I prefer doing anything I can outside. But when it is hot I cannot stand to be outside. So I sit inside an airconditioned house and watch TV.

How is this different from what has been available before? I have had DISH for almost 2 years and most SiriusXM music channels have always been available to me.
We have a good powder day today and I would be up in the mountains skiing right now if I did not have to work. Damn work.My brother and I each have friends like you.

Heck, my own wife cannot understand me half of the time either.Neither of us understand you people.
