Re: More lousy audio? I know what you mean there... I listen to XM 152 a lot, and it does sound like streamed audio. Two shows on 152 are from Real Radio 104.1 in Orlando, FL. If you listen to it on FM, and then listen to it on XM, you can definitely tell the difference. There is also a delay from "live" broadcast (they are on a 16 sec delay at the station) to being broadcast on XM. I think the feed they use is the same feed that is streamed to the Internet!
That channel, and XM 171 are the only reasons I have XM. Otherwise, I would be on Sirius. When the merger is said and done, I will see if I can get those two on Sirius, and then leave XM. If not, then I dunno.

If not, then I dunno. I read somewhere that Sirius is even worse. But I have only heard XM, and that was starting last month. I like the selection, though I could probably narrow it down to 10 channels, and the rest I wouldn't miss. But I would like it to sound good! Plus around here there are plenty of FM stations - I have all 12 presets taken and there are others I would put on presets if I had more. | |
