ONLINE STREAM QUALITY IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!

4dude

Didnt they suppodedly make the audio BETTER a few months ago?

Why are they streaming @ 32k now INSTEAD OF 64 for the 'high' setting?


Sounds like crap....... And they have the nerve TO CHARGE MORE FOR LESS?? (And garbage @ that)

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad i didnt ever subscribe to that garbage (I would be very angry now)

Why is anyone still paying for this crap?? (Which is basically FM radio)

They said after March 11 that they were going to improve the webstream. These guys are just like politicians.
 
I am one who still subscribes and will continue to do so. The simple reason is that I can't get what I want to hear on local AM or FM. And for the price of one-half of a Starbuck's venti mocha once a month, or two diet cokes out of the machine at work twice a month, or one gallon of gasoline a month, I can have a choice of ALL XM online programming at work. Think about it. I am of the opinion that Rocky Balboa was right when he told Clubber, "Ain't so bad!"
Please, don't misunderstand. I have a lot of complaints about SAT-service myself. But, as I have said before, where else are you going to get the variety avaiable on SAT-Rad? I live in the #6 market and can't even scratch the surface of what I get from XM. It isn't perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than anything else available to me in the car or at the office.

You make a good point. With all their faults you can still hear the format you want with no commercials.
 
Getting back on topic... I'm listening online now and the ONLINE STREAM QUALITY IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!

If I choose to renew my sub, it will have nothing to do with this pathetic excuse for online streaming. I get more enjoyment for FREE from Pandora. Looking on the bright side, the XM stream does give me a warm nostalgic feeling...like when I was a kid listening to a pocket transistor radio with one of those white plastic mono ear plugs.

They said they were going to improve the quality of the stream and they haven't. Another brolen promise by sirius/xm.

They did. They just omitted the fact you'd have to pay extra for it when they made the promise.

They are certainly customer friendly--aren't they? ???
 
Why should you?

Its just an excuse to extract more $$ since they have lost so much since Sirius destroyed them!
