Forum Invites

Sirius Buzz is growing, and this forum offers a great place to share opinions. Contributors to this forum had made Sirius Buzz a quality pace to interact without the needless spamming that can happen in many places.

We would love to see this forum community continue to grow in a smart way that maintains quality. With this in mind, we encourage you to invite people to participate here, and open this thread up to suggestions.

What categories would you like to see?

Are any of you interested in being moderators?

Any suggestions for "ranking" names (jr. member, sr. member, etc.)

Any and all ideas will be considered. Lastly, we wish to THANK those who have made the Sirius Buzz Forums a quality place for interaction.

Content is King. Tyler, as long as you keep posting quality information, people will join. My opinion is keep the forum simple and clean looking.

Personally I have a very big interest in the future of satellite radio vs internet radio, Wi-Max , cellphones, ipods and HD radio. I would like to see more of your thoughts on 5 or 10 years out. What Satellite radio needs to do to get to 50-100 million subs. But thats just me. I love looking far out into the future.

I see free satellite radios in the future with locked in subscriptions the way cellphone companies do it. (Give away the razor to sell the blades). I also want to see Sirius grab on to that cell phone market the way Apple did with the iPhone. I also am most interested in new and innovative content for satellite radio since Content is King. Content, Content Content. I see limitless ideas for content on Sat radio.

I used to spend alot of time monitoring the yahoo siri board, but now I can't even remember the last time I visited that circus. Although the instant gratification of an instant response is not here, The quality of the posters remain intact.
Thanks SSG/Sirius Buzz!!!

We want quality discussion. Opinions do not have to all agree, but the discussion should be productive. We want this site to grow and be a valuable source for people. If you know people searching for a good place to interact, please feel free to refer them here.

There are some pretty passionate opinionated people over on the orbitcast forums. The majority of them also read SiriusBuzz, but Im not sure why they are not into the forums here.

I would be interested in being a moderator, because I check the boards pretty much on a daily basis, and often times multiple times a day, even though I do not post frequently. As long as these forums stay up to date and spam and flame free, they will be a successful and popular place to hang out... at least until the merger is passed =P

Your interest in these forums and being a moderator is noted. One key aspect to moderation is keeping things moving on the forums. Your willingness to participate here is great. I will forward an email to my partner regarding your interest.

What we want is a good environment for good discussion. To date we have that.

Thanks

Kindly drop an email to me at satellitestandard@gmail.com. I would like to discuss your moderator role further off line from the forums.

If I start getting moderated I will leave these forums as fast as I can. I love fighting in forums. Moderation and MUSCLE don't mix.

LOL.....

We have every intention of keeping these forums a flowing source for varied opinion. Moderation here is limited to keeping spamming off, and conversation flowing.:D

methinks a category for each model that sirius is currently offering (you can find them at http://www.sirius.com/freeradio would be a good idea. that way, concerns can be properly grouped and a generally more organized forum is in place. just a suggestion ^_^

That is a great idea and once we have enough posts to warrant more organization we will surely implement something like that.

I'm very new here and not a shareholder but merely a subscriber. I purchased my Sirius primarily for Court TV programming which has just recently ceased to exist. I'm a big Nascar fan and love the Sirius race day coverage! I turn my television volume down and listen to Sirius audio!

I know I was referred to this site and otherwise did not know it existed. How is this Forum promoted? I have read your disclosure that you are not directly connected with Sirius thus I feel I could post here impartially and that makes me comfortable. I am sorry that Court TV no longer broadcasts over Sirius, To me, it was a very interesting channel. At first, I must admit, that "paying" for radio sounded absurd! But once I tried Sirius I was sold. I live in a rural area and have little, if any radio signals come in clearly. With Sirius I get a good quality signal! I also have Sirius in my car.

Ideas for this forum abound. Make a forum for "Sirius Channel Reviews" from listeners, "Interesting sounds Over Sirius" (or something like that) for posts about programs that have been informative or unique. Perhaps, I am mentioning the things you have tried to avoid and I can appreciate that as well. It's wonderful we live in a Country where we can post our views. I think more Americans should use that right. We have many minds and many ideas and the sharing of those ideas in a forum such as this can lead to progress.

Thank you for asking your posters their thoughts. Again, my question is had I not been referred to this site how would I have found you?

Thank you.

You could have found us through a search engine or through a site that links to us ....like most other sites. How would people have known about your site if you didn't place it in your signature ;)

There are various ways but most of our forum members find us by searching the net for "sirius forums" or are loyal readers of our blog.

Hello!

Thanks for leading me in the right direction. You know, many people "assume" today that we all know how to get where we want to go on this wonderous internet. Unfortunately, for some of us, it didn't come with "directions". So the easier the navigation the smoother the course. Having not been on the internet as often as I have been in the last few months, due to some surgery I've had, I had to learn what a Forum was and what a Blog was! And was I ever pleased to see they existed! Yes, I'm happy I found your website, no matter how I got here. It's got great tech advice and good news on the upcoming merger. My receiver is pretty old, I've had it about 4 years. But it plays just as good today as when I bought it. I love Sirius and I'm looking forward to the merger. Perhaps with the merger, fans of the former 110 Court TV channel will find a new "home"!

Hello Minnesota, and welcome to the forums!!

We care not that you do not invest in Sirius or XM satellite Radio. This board is for listeners as well! We are here to promote public opinion on both companies, and inform people about what is going on in the world of Satellite Radio. That includes stock information, but it is definately not limited to that.

God, I have heard that from SOOOO many people, including myself. I am a tech geek, and even I was blown away when they wanted my to pay for listening to radio. It was rediculous. Most people on this site have Sirius, but I have XM. (I know, dont shoot!). Like most people, I got hooked up with Satellite Radio (or SatRad you will hear it commonly called) when I bought my new truck. I got 3 months of it for free. I figured why not? So I tried it out. The day it got canceled on month number 4, I called up and prepaid for a 4 year subscription. My parents thought I was nuts! Paying for radio?!?! I was just wasting money, but hey, its my money right? Last year, they bought a new truck that came with a free trial of Sirius. Now they are lifetime subscribers. I now laugh at them for taking so long.
I really wish there was a way to "force" people to experience Satellite Radio for a month or two other than through new car sales. Even with new car sales, I am sure many people just switch over to FM because that is what they are comfortable with and never listen to their free trial of SatRad. Such a waste, such a pitty. Do your best to harrold the alcolades of satellite radio! I was in a money crunch due to finishing up school this year (again) and was unable to, but my plans do include giving away Sirius or XM recievers as birthday/Christmas gifts this coming year with 3-6 months prepaid subscriptions.
As a subscriber AND an investor, I look forward to the XM/Sirius merger. I hope you hang around to express your views on all of the services either service has to offer. The more information out there, the better.

Well said Newman. I "force" people to listen by not allowing them to talk in my car :p

LOL clueless! I've hooked up my Sirius in the car to my ignition! No Sirius, no get up and go!

I gave both my sons Sirius for Christmas! They often asked me if I liked it and what kind of channels Sirius has. I told them my favorite feature, besides the programming itself, was the great display screen! They liked the music when they rode in my car and often "cranked it up" (to the detriment of my ears I might add) when they heard a song that "rocked"! LOL I love Sirius and I'm anxious for the merger! Perhaps then I will invest in a lifetime subscription!

Sirius radio "rocks"! :headphones: :thumbsup:
