Playboy on 198

[LanceHandstrong]

After "opting in" i have now been listening for a day, and must say... IMPRESSIVE! i set the bar pretty low, but it's entertaing radio. Morning guy used to be on k-rock in nyc. sounds very polished. Other shows, including the girls on at night are enjoyable. Plamates show, and stories show are also worth a listen. The replay of the TV audio is worth skipping.

Re: Playboy on 198 - and Sirius customer service

I'll probably not spend a lot of time listening to Playboy Radio (although I will check it out when I have a chance) but I decided to "opt-in" as a matter of principle. After all, it's available at no extra charge and (as I said in an email to Sirius) I'm not a prude, nor do I have kids with "virgin ears" to protect. And I was mildly curious as to what would be offered on the channel.

I had customer service problems with Sirius, however.

It took me half a dozen attempts (including an email, a failed attempt to opt in at the website and four calls to Sirius customer service) before Sirius added the channel to my radio subscription. In arguably the worst of the four calls, one representative apparently couldn't figure out how to add Playboy to my radio, so he seemingly hung up on me!

That's too bad. In previous calls to Sirius customer service (mainly in 2004), Sirius had taken care of my issues with little or no problem whatsoever. Was my brief experience here just an anomaly or is Sirius's customer service going downhill?

I couldn't opt in from the web site and the first techie I spoke to said it was because the system was down while the channel changes were going on. She said it would take about 2 hours.

So I waited until the next day and tried to opt in online again. I had the same problem. So then I had to opt in over the phone. Not a big deal to me, but what was the deal, anyway?

Ape.

No problem opting in via the Internet here. It took two tries but the first one failed because my receiver was in the car and off. The next day I brought it in the house, put it in the boombox and powered it up. Within 2 minutes of the second opt in attempt it updated and I had Playboy Radio.
