halisray Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I just got satellite radio. What are some good channels for music and news/business/talk? So far I have my local channels and BBC Radio 4 / Extra. Thanks for the help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theSun Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 i got sirius as a trial with a new car and couldn't ever find music i'd want to listen to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 'backspin' is probably the only good channel left on Xm/sirius radio, you will enjoy it for a while until you notice that they repeat the same 50-75 songs on each channel every day, it seems like automated computer winamp playlists for the most part. talk radio channels that are good, not many, besides Howard Stern most of the 'talk' stuff on satellite radio is broadcast on normal AM radio stations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deep Fried Everything Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 a few different people have tried to turn me on to/push me to satellite radio, and i just kept thinking in the back of my head "but i find all of the good interesting engaging music that i like without it... are you SURE there's something i'd like out there?" ie what awepittance said, i suspect, is true for me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theSun Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 basically i might get it back for nfl radio - because living in buffalo and not caring about hockey means i can't really listen to local sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I guess you get all the BBC digital radio stations? I only recently got a digital radio just to listen to BBC Radio 6 Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 im curious how would one get satellite radio literally for free, is this just one of those 90 day vehicle free trials? also the quality on satellite radio is shockingly bad, it sounds to my ears like 64kbps. I got a satellite radio receiver that could record up to 1 hour of music from the radio at my command, unfortunately every recording i took was of awful quality, the only helpful aspect of it is it would save the artist and song name so i could just redownload it when i got home.
