Sirius radio updates tomorrow, AAR changes channels.
Just got notice that it will take 5-7 minute download from the satellite to update. Looks like Sirius Left stays on 143, and Air America goes to 144.

I have not had radio on today, so I assume it is tomorrow.

2. Do you enjoy your Sirius radio?
What kind did you get?

On the verge of signing up . . .

3. Yes, we do enjoy it.
We bought it for the home. Finally ended up paying for the outdoor mounted antenna, and reception is just great now. A little portable antenna comes with the radio, but it just did not work.

I usually listen to AAR or Sirius Left. Thom Hartmann and Ed Schultz are the two main ones on Sirius Left.

5. XM Radio, Sirius' competition, is in league with Clear Channel.

a/k/a "The Borg".

Clear Channel is much of the reason why you have nothing to listen to in the sticks but shitty C&W stations. Clear Channel also caved to the FCC and canned Howard Stern from several major markets.

Go with Sirius.

6. Yes, Sirius is best for liberals.
XM only carries portions of Air America, last I heard. Sirius has the whole line-up. Also Sirius Left is great.
