WOW.. Kind of disappointed this morning when I got to work and Howard Stern wasn't streaming on Sirius.... I have my Sportster in the dock at the studio with the car dock in my other car which is in shop, and I'm still holding out putting anything other than the factory satellite radio adapter in my new truck because I don't want to dig holes in the interior already but .. When I got to work I was set to hear some #$^&#$% and a few more @#$%% and some confessions.. Low and behold, that faggot isn't streaming.. WTF.. I'm thinking they'll probably have a week to get the stream up or I'll cancel, seeing as how HS was the only real reason I bought Sirius.. Shade45 is okay.. but not enough reason for me to keep it...
Anyone else shocked he wasn't streaming?? Yes No... Maybe so

He just struck the deal not too long ago. It takes a while to get all the legalities, paperwork and technicalities set up to get a radio show going. I personally see no point in paying for radio to be able to hear curse words,lol.

If you can't get your sh*t together in a year, you should fire your legal team.. The last 3 seasons on KROCK have been nothing be a continuous commercial about Siruis.. I've been a subscriber since last December, because I got my equipment for Christmas 04, and I knew he was coming (All Over America), back then..
No disrespect.. but that was a weak excuse.. No???

You bought that equipment just for the stern show? No he struck the deal over two years ago. The news has only covered it recently because the actual switchover was supposed to happen a couple of days ago. He's been off syndication since last Monday I believe (I don't listen, so it's just a guess).
He was supposed to be up and running on Sirius the very next day. Don't know why he wouldn't be...
Also http://www.howardstern.com/ shows that he did a show today...
You sure that thing is set up right? Might want to call customer support.

HS is so much HOT AIR, and Sirisus is going to find out rather quickly that he was extremely overrated.
They invested a fortune in him, and it's NOT going to pay out the way they hope.

I've been an XM user for 2.5 years, and it's worth it. you might be too cheap, you might not care about talk radio, or about live sports broadcast, or about being able to pick the type of music you want to listen to (80s, 90s, old skool rap, wahtever), instead of the same shit every hour, that you get on FM. It makes those long ass drives a lot more sane. It's the same reason you pay for cable, or you too cheap to get cable?
As for Howard Stern, his move to Sirus was announced over a year ago. I think he had to finish out his existing contract, before making the switch. But they wouldn't have have had billboard signs up, if the legal issue wasn't completed.

Don't know that I understand what you mean by streaming. I know what streaming means, but why would pay radio have a free (I'm assuming) stream.
He's definately up and running this morning on Sirius. I saw interviews with him on GMA and they ran repeats on Larry King all weekend. This morning they said the show was on, but I don't have Sirius.
Listening to his interviews, he said, he didn't want to use much bad language. According to him, all he wants to do is have the ability to do the show he used to do 10 years ago. Sirius is really behind him. They have paid him mucho dinero.

First, saying he is "over" has been said for the last 20+ years. See what that did.
Second, the deal was announced (and plugged away) since Nov-Dec of 2004. Since then, Sirrius went from ~500,000 subscribers to 2.5 million subscribers. Why do you think that happened? Because of Martha Stewart? Don't think so. Sirrius said if they get 1 million listeners from Stern, they will break even with the Stern contract. They passed that.
Stern's last live terristrial radio show was December 17th, 2005. The shows up until Decemeber 30th were all "Best of". Now DLR is on on the east coast. Maybe if they fed that to the West coast, people would be able to fall asleep as fast as they're doing here listening.
And I believe the streaming will only be available to subscribers

I understand that the show is on... please read my OP... stating such....

I agree, but my drive to and from work is only about half an hour.. long enough to have me annoyed by Star's (Star and BuckWild) voice... Using my Sirius mainly at work and when I shoot.. I thought about coughing up the $500 or so for lifetime.. but not yet....

Oh well, no big deal. It's all good. Hope it works out for you soon.

When I bought my first professional camera I invested a small fortune, (to me at the time) and many people though it wouldn't pay off in the way I hoped.. You know what I do now when I we talk about equipment.. I laugh.. because it's funny.. My investment has paid off rather handsomely...

Think of the models you could get with 500 bucks.

Think of the models you could get with 500 bucks. $500 is not a lot of money, I've lost that money in a day trading on NASDAQ. It's highly unlikely that satellite radio will go belly up. You'd have a good arguement if I didn't know better.
Anyone that I've ever talked to that has satellite radio has nothing but good things to say about it. I purchased my radio for "one" reason and have enjoyed it up until this day. A personal prerequisite to my purchase was the ability to stream HS and to my surprise many of the talk shows weren't streamed but HS said his would be.
I thought I would never spend $3000 on a television, $4000 later no one that visits my home has anything negative to say about the picture I get from my plasma. "Play money" is different for different people... and I'm not being arogant when I say that, personally there are some things I will spend money, and others I will not.. Catch me in a bar spending an arm and a leg for alcohol?? HELL NO... Catch me spending $200 for an HDMI cable, HELL YES..
I don't buy/lease models... or at least I haven't yet...

Maybe someday I will reach that financial point.

Stern is contracted for 5 years, so if you drop Sirius after Stern's contract ends AND if he doesn't renew, that's $100 per year. Less than the monthly fee.

hey v...
I just heard (you might've too, if your listening to the repeat) that the subscription to SIRIUS were so overwhelming, that they were 9 hours behind on setting up some radios... maybe your part of that lag?
