Sirius Customer Service...
I keep hearing horror stories about Sirius customer service, but I
gotta tell you - I've had nothing but success with them. Yesterday, I cancelled my second reciever because Mrs. Wave is getting a new car with Sirius installed. So I called and cancelled that radio until her new car is delivered on Monday. Little bit of a screwup unfortunately - they cancelled the wrong radio - instead of cancelling Mrs. Wave's receiver, they cancelled mine. Little mixup. Expecting a huge hassle, I got to customer service, they did a receiver swap and everything is now up and running. Took all of three minutes start to finish. Can't beat that. |

Honestly, I cannot figure out the appeal of a "subscribed" radio service to listen to music. My wife and I each have iPods that have "hard wiring" plug-ins in the cars, and we listen to what we want to listen to when we want to listen to music. Otherwise, the car radio is on NPR. |

Only issue I've had with them is when I activated the second receiver that we use on the boat. The first one is pre-paid for a year, and the guy kept trying to tell me that the monthly charge was going to be for two receivers. It took a couple minutes to get him straightened out. |

My wife and I each have iPods that have "hard wiring" plug-ins in the cars, and we listen to what we want to listen to when we want to listen to music. Otherwise, the car radio is on NPR. The appeal, for me anyway, and I subscribe to XM, not Sirius, is the amazing variety, depth and breadth of the selection of music that's available. Listening to XM's highly niched and very eclectic and expansive music programming, I hear tons of stuff I would never have otherwise heard or heard of, tons of other stuff that I had heard of and/or read about but never heard anywhere else (i.e. commercial radio), and as a bonus a lot of stuff that I liked or remembered just hadn't heard in years or decades - all this across an incredible range of styles and formats - including traditional jazz, modern progressive/ fusion jazz, extremely "deep-cuts" album rock, electronica, very deep "decades" playlists of pop from the 40's through today, blues, movie music, current non-mainstream college/indie rock, showtunes, standards, country, soul, dance, old-time radio programs, vintage and contemporary comedy, and some other very eclectic, unusual and hard to categorize stuff on the "Fine Tuning" and "Audio Visions" channels. I love the way it's all presented to me as a kind of passive recipient without my having to find out about, seek out, download, or buy any of it, and their library has got to be thousands and thousands of times huger than what could be fit on the most generous iPod even if you did have the time and inclination to load it up like that. (Of course the absence of commercials is also a plus.) I guess it is mainly appealing to people who have a very active interest in music, and are just as much or more interested in hearing and exploring music they haven't heard about and don't yet know about, than hearing stuff they already like again and again (I find, maybe it's a factor of getting a little older and realizing I don't have time to waste, that I have evolved towards preferring to hear all kinds of stuff even if I only hear each new thing once, rather than hearing almost anything repeatedly). I know it's spoiled me from ever being able to listen to FM/commercial radio without getting bored and annoyed even faster than before! richforman |

It is about personal preferance and not "limited thinking". snip Would Sirius been a better option for us during that trip.........perhaps. As Don stated........perhaps those who spend hours and hours on the road constantly may want the service. There's that limited thinking again... It's not just for your car. You can put one in your home, where you'll spend far more hours than any car trip. It complements our iPods, FM, CD's, etc. It's a small expense, so it's inconsequential whether or not one uses it "enough" to be worth the expense. But, as you say, different strokes. |

You can also hook it up in your house attached to your home audio system, which is where it currently is. Also got Mrs.E one for her car on a separate account. Subscribed with a credit card for both. The credit card now has been outdated, expired and non-existent for over three years. Never got a notice from Sirius. Never had an interruption in service. Haven't paid for it in over three years. Still works great. Eisboch |

You can also hook it up in your house attached to your home audio system, which is where it currently is. Also got Mrs.E one for her car on a separate account. Subscribed with a credit card for both. The credit card now has been outdated, expired and non-existent for over three years. Never got a notice from Sirius. Never had an interruption in service. Haven't paid for it in over three years. Still works great. Eisboch Another freeloading Republican... :) |

It's just that you, and Don, both seem to think that satellite radio is just for automobile travel. "As Don stated........perhaps those who spend hours and hours on the road constantly may want the service." You can use it at home. Expand your horizons. roll eyes Later. |

Little bit of a screwup unfortunately - they cancelled the wrong radio - instead of cancelling Mrs. Wave's receiver, they cancelled mine. Little mixup. Expecting a huge hassle, I got to customer service, they did a receiver swap and everything is now up and running. Took all of three minutes start to finish. Can't beat that. Honestly, I cannot figure out the appeal of a "subscribed" radio service to listen to music. Well, I guess it's the difference between an eclectic knowledge and appreciation of different musical genres than a rather static approach to "radio". For me, I like the ability to switch according to mood. I do have my favorites - latin and light jazz, moldie oldies and electronica. Hell, I was introduced to a great band, Ladytron, via the Chill electronic/technica channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtqGoHouoE0 On the other hand, I have news, sports and traffic informtion available when I want it, not when it's on the hour. Now that it's linked up with my in-car GPS, I also have traffic cams which is kind of cool. Even on at it's best, terrestrial radio is boring, commercial ridden and flatly uninteresting. The other day, I was listening to WEEI out of Boston - a sports talk radio station in a rental car and in one hour, there was 31 minutes of commercials during drive time - 31 minutes. And that's not the only one who does that. I switched to the local NPR station and it was 26 minutes of begging for money out of an hour. My wife and I each have iPods that have "hard wiring" plug-ins in the cars, and we listen to what we want to listen to when we want to listen to music. Otherwise, the car radio is on NPR. To each their own - I gots mine, you gots yours. :) And, frankly, NPR sucks - the most god awful programming on the face of the planet. |

You know, some of customer service trouble can be blamed on the customer, also. A lot of people who call are indignent, mad already, or simply don't know how to tell the servicer the trouble. I know there are a lot of problems with customer service, but not all can be traced to them. I know someone who has worked in that field as a software customer service person. It ain't easy sometimes! It all depends upon how the conversations starts out. There is a young woman at my local CVS pharmacy who keeps telling my that the pharmacy screw ups are my fault. She is about to get a rude awakening as to how valuable customer service is when I speak to the head pharmacist. No threats, no acquisitions, just stating the facts and that if the young lady points the finger my direction again about the screw ups without letting me finish what I have to say if I will be transferring all of my prescriptions to Giant or Safeway across the street. " all of my prescriptions" ??? Yikes...that explains a lot.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The only thing it explains is that you like your master Harry are trying too hard to find fault with others. It is funny though, to stand back and watch. The only people you go after are those who your master Harry doesn't like because they are smart enough to not believe all of his many, many lies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Good afternoon Loogytoons, how are you feeling today?

I usually don't fall asleep during the day while listening to the radio. If you are really interested in an issue, though, the NPR news features are much more detailed and informative than anything on the usual broadcast or cable news shows, and certainly more content-neutral than the rabid right-wing talk radio shows. Hell, I found a Peruvian convention speaker for a client on an NPR interview show. He was a great hit. |
