Competition for SiriusXM.
1. Terrestrial Radio.
If youve listend then you know its not.
2. HD radio. They will never suceed in making SiriusXM made their radios compatiable. Even if they did, it would be help up in court for years, etc...
SiriusXM would have "delay" after "delay" getting it right...etc...
3. Ipod, and Iphone.
Not anymore, as you can get their content on both soon.
4. Internet radio. LOL I wont even comment on this one, thats how absurd it is. Like saying giraffes are competition for SiriusXM.
5. And I believe that is it. So you see, they have no competition. If you want quality radio, no commercials, ability to hear it anywhere, download new music, get weather anywhere, at all times, etc... Theres only one place you can go.
Satellite delivery system is "never, or rarely down" Its reach is unmatched by any technology here, or coming in the future. It can be expanded to include other markets as well.
I believe that this is a domain name that was owned by an individual.... not Sirius or Xm.. I seem to recall Charles talking about it after the merger.... I don't know if they bought it or got him to give it up or what, but seems to just be another pointer to the sites as jim232 has said....
siriusxm.com has been active for quite a while but what I find interesting is that one of the djs was promoting siriusxmradio.com and that does not exist for them...
The big picture we all need to keep seeing is this:
SIRIUS XM has a business plan that challenges many many years of institutional media in this country and across the world. The idea of not plastering every 5 minutes with 15 minutes of advertising scares the hell out of them. The amount of opposition - when you see the facts - is HUGE and I am impressed SIRIUS XM has seemed to take things up a notch now. We may be at the turning point or not - I'm just saying - if you looked at / read about the transition from old radio at the turn of the last century to television - you'd have also found a formidable challenge for those new television/moving picture entities.
We may be on the verge of something really big. If I only have to put a few grand into that kind of investment - it's well worth it - in my opinion.

Come to think of it - wouldn't it be a real kick@ss thing if direcTV were to go commercial free for TV. Then the radio side would be SIRI-XM and DIRECTV would handle the TV. I dream of the day I can watch an entire episode of ANYTHING on T.V. with NO FRIGGIN COMMERCIALS.
It would be a near utopia.......
ok... waking up from my dream now....

Don't remember exactly where we were during that timeframe - I blame alzheimers... it appears - based on that registration - it was taken over at that point. I've played with domain names at times - and it's relatively easy for a big buyer to drop a bid on a name and transfer.... the only thing difficult is if the owner resists the bid.
Like I was saying earlier - it would be good if they'd start merging the sirius and xm internet presence into a single site - it would be easy to just have all the other domains "point" to one site and it would save them money.
Remember this article: http://siriusbuzz.com/giveaway-siriu...te-invites.php
just the article of a beta app got 650 comments...just think what a real app is going to do...
when does anyone think its coming out?
yeah thats what I meant, app giveaway article..
I have checked other sites articles on the app and it brings people out of the wood works, with nearly all being very positive "can't wait" comments
...See charle's polls today...I think alot of people stay away from satellite radio because they can't figure out the hardware....if all it takes is downloading an app many more people are going to stumble into subscriptions....
Ok - I am jumping headfirst into exposing ISEG/NITE. I posted the letters/tips I just sent to three major media outlets regarding the manipulation - over on another thread:
http://siriusbuzz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1652
So far I hit up ABC News, CNN, and Fox News...
Time to shake things up a notch...
I referred them directly to the Buzz for detailed info on the manipulation... get ready for the hit count to rise (I hope)
Newman/Charles can hate me later for any pain I cause - I just don't like to wait for anyone else to do it. At least now it's done (of course who knows if they will even READ a thing I sent).
There was a lot of competition to get in on that beta. I managed to get in, but not through SiriusBuzz. Sirius on an iPhone takes it up a notch. When they shut down StarPlayr (and the iPhone player), it really sucked. I have resorted to my iPhone playlist again.
I tried Slacker and Pandora a few times more to see if maybe I wasn't giving them a fair shake. They suck. The channel you create starts off with what you want to listen to.....great! Then it gradually devolves into a bunch of crap that is either 1) the wrong genre, 2) groups you have no interest in listening to, or 3) groups or songs that you have already voted against or skipped earlier.
I will download the Sirius app the day it come out. I still have the StarPlayr app on my phone. It hurts to know it is gone. I have tried to log in once or twice, hoping by some miracle it would be working again.
Brandon: That link has been active for a few months.
Remember in my more recent article about The Top 5 priorities for Sirius XM? I linked to it there. It is nothing more than a starting spot that sends people to either Sirius or XM seperate websites.
They definately need to unify their sites better.
When this stock trades a lot higher, and their are .10 to .20 cent spreads between the ask and bid, then you see so crazy stuff. In unison, you will see 2-4 MM's move bids in and out so fast, its only way to be done would be by computer programs working together. They are trying to catch market orders at the high and low ends by doing this. They will allow you to buy at 4 if the bid is 3.80 and the ask is 4.00 and sell at 3.80 on the same spread. SO if you market ordered it around the same area, you would be buying for $4, and selling for $3.80. Now do that all day...... Not fair. Using limit orders is the way to beat this system, but some people insist on market orders.
ANd yet nothing is done. They will move the bids too(they will usually be working both sides). In this way, they will use 100 share blocks to move the stock towards a large buy order, or sell order. Watch KB Homes trade, and you will see what I mean. Might be too low now, but some days, im convinced their not one legitmaite purchase of KBHomes shares, its all shorting and covering, shorting and covering, etc... From low share count around 100 shares or up to 1000 share blocks.
I am playing around with Pandora today:
The good points:
1) If you put it on a specific genre it is fantastic. For instance, the Blues Genre is terrific. It doesn't matter which one you choose. Electric, Chicago or Texas....etc...
I haven't tried the other genres though.
2) It is free
3) Music clarity is prime!
4) It doesn't suck up all of your band width, so you can still do other things while listening.
5) It is uninterrupted when surfing the internet.
6) Each song gives you a history of the artist or band.
7) You can bookmark the songs that you like.
Those are a few.
Bad Point:
When you create a station i.e. "The Jimi Hendrix Station", you will get a Hendrix song once in about every 5 plays, then the other songs in between can be anything that they feel reflect the same types of styles, beat, intonation.....etc..
Overall, the plain genre is great! The stations you create could disappoint you if you just want to listen to the same artist song after song.
Pandora is really pretty cool. They are finding ways to get it out to the people. Phones are all ready using Pandora through Sprint and AT&T.
I haven't checked out Slacker yet, but I will.
Just an honest evaluation. It sure beats a sharp stick in the eye.
Streaming cannot replace live broadcasting though...that is just common sense....but for people that don't listen to talk radio, news and things like that it is just fine. Uninterrupted music is really nice sometimes without a human speaking in between songs, but then at other times talking with a little info about the artist(s) is nice.
SIRI has the upper hand in all of the live departments. ;)

Just saying hi to everyone today, just got in and caught up on the posts today.
Rick, I had a case of duct tape delivered today.
Just to rebuttal in support of XM...
I have the xmp3 and I get the live xm content....plus I can record 5 channels at once accumulating 100 hours of recorded "live" content....plus i can record 10 hours of singles live off of XM (about 200 songs) recorded at one touch of a button while listening.
....it also plays mp3's as well that I can put (estimating) 2000 songs on an 8gb card.
I don't bother with the 8gb mp3 option because if I did the instant I have 2000 songs, they are already old.
