Comments on: Sirius-XM merger: No static at all

The marriage of satellite radio providers Sirius and XM finally receives the FCC's blessing, promising a whole new ballgame for subscribers.

When WFMT adds HD radio there might be a reason to use it.

I have been using HD radio for some time and it is a disappointment,
In Portland Oregon I listen to KBPS classical music. Their audio is
highly (for classical music) compressed. Their HD signal is also compressed,
virtually indistinguishable from the analog. The main difference is a lower
noise floor compared to analog with a poor antenna.

It amazing how much time it took to approve this. Meanwhile Clear channel owns almost every radio station in the country. Long live new technology!

I have a stiletto 100 and am very impressed with the signal, i don't use the headphones much, but when I do, it performs well.

How many shares of SIRI do you get for each XM share that you own? Does anyone know?

Ok, some people will want the "new" satellite radio. I ws ready to subscribe to XM when the news of the merger came out (nearly 500 days ago). I stopped at that point (and I know a lot of others who did also) because we do not want our subscriptions to support Howard Stern. When he gets fired (and not replaced by someone like him) I will subscribe to satellite radio.
