Re: Of course they'll file
Ya know, you can only cram so much crap down people throat before they figure out they don't really need it. I just can't see one good reason to ever use this service. |

Exactly! I'm sure if we give XM(not sirus) some time that it will turn a profit. Sirus was doomed from the start because of their lack of programming compaired to XM. As with all new technology it will be slow to take off. Look at DVD players. I knew some people that said it would never last. But look at it now. It's more popular than VHS. I say just give XM some time to settle in for the long run, and they will most likely be sucessful.

Regarding Sirius Programming...
By no means is sirius doomed from the start because of their programming, in fact thats what was going to keep them going. Their programming is much better, as it doesn't contain commercials. What hurt them is their second-to-market performance.
They also had significant chipset problems, thus making inventory on store shelves very low. They didn't advertise, because if they did, it would refer people to XM. |

As an over the road trucker, it provides entertainment when nothing can be picked up yo want to listen to.
Ever drove across Texas on interstate 10? If you don't speak Spanish or love Mexican music, the pickings are slim outside the large cities.
