Dude, I have to admit that there are some changes that no doubt upset some people. But not all tastes in listening have a complaint. I, for one, (being of a somewhat advanced age) have absolutely nothing bad to say about the changes. With the exception of a few pre-set button changes, I have lost nothing on my list of favorites. The only thing I hear different is a slight change from Audio Visions to Spa. But it isn't major, and considering what there is to listen to on terrestrial radio in Houston, XM as it was before and is after the changes, is still a heavenly experience. I am sure that I would say or would have said the same if I was subscribing to Sirius. Nowhere else (since I added the "Best Of..." feature) can I listen to the entire NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, NASCAR, Indy Car, and on occasion the PGA, as well as my favorite kinds of music, news and entertainment.
I concede that Mel and his little sunbeams have shaken the foundations of Sat-Rad. But remember what it was like before we even had Sat-Rad. I can remember not having TV. Now I, like most, would wither and dry up without it. I am very happy, at least for now, to have what is available in terms of Sat-Rad. It is so much more than I ever had before. Perfect? No! But still, it is better than nothing.
As my late Father-in-Law used to say, "Half a loaf is better than no coffee break at all."
I never dreamed I would be able to hear all these programs in my car, or be able to listen to one show or series all the way from Big H to Little D (250 miles) without ever having to change my radio dial. Sat-Rad, even in its current state of flux, is awesome to me, and, I suspect, to most subscribers.
Even with its faults.
