    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I'll be dancing the annual dance early in March. ========== I've seen a lot of posts recently which have mirrored a complaint of mine--that their older car radios (mine is a 2013 CR-V) aren't configured to receive the upper channels. So what do you folks do? Stream the Sirius XM app over...

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    It will be interesting to hear what THAT'S all about, Ron. Something tells me it might mark the end of my SiriusXM subscription. I just don't get enough out of it. The worst part for me is my 2013 Honda CR-V built-in XM receiver only goes up to about channel 235. So anything above that is...

    Bah. Martha Quinn (a fellow 64-year old native of Albany, NY) was the only veejay to watch! :laugh: I was an "early adopter" of MTV. I have many fond memories of those early years. But I am more a product of the music of the '70s. Martha's "64" doesn't look anything like my "64:"

    I already had the app, Ron. But didn't know about that channel. Thanks! I spent a few days painting in the house this past week and enjoyed the various countdowns to which I listened. So much fun.

    But....EVERY SINGLE HOTEL ROOM IN BURLINGTON/SOUTH BURLINGTON/COLCHESTER, etc. is taken by FEMA workers! Not kidding. We could not get a room anywhere. I have never traveled (admittedly, I don't travel all that much) and haven't been able to find a room somewhere. Every place said the...

    I'm actually in your neck of the woods this week, Malcolm--Milton and Burlington to be precise. When Peg was in high school up here CHOM was THE station to listen to! :D She still talks about it.

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    OMG. They are SO GOOD! Casey was a true phenomenon for this teenage "I'm gonna be a broadcaster" kid! Plus to hear the songs of your youth (some of which are nearly forgotten and some of which are entirely forgotten! LOL) is a bonus. So much fun! I was wondering if they also aired on...

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I just danced the dance. My promotional deal was set to expire today. I had to do an online chat with a rep as their phone service is closed on the weekends. But once I explained I was cancelling the account because my promotional deal was ending and it was too expensive to renew at the...

    If it was Hello Again, it'd be a different story! :D

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I've just started using the Sirius XM app on my phone to stream to my car radio (and to bluetooth speakers around the house). I'm a bit of a Luddite sometimes. But I figured out it gives me options by allowing me to get to more stations. But the repetition IS aggravating me. It won't be...

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I've been doing some projects around the house and listening to some of their (many) holiday music stations. I really like the Acoustic Christmas channel. But, man, like Ron said when he started this thread (nearly five years ago)...they compile the shortest playlists. The repetition after...

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    Yeah. I've been through this a couple times, Ron. That's exactly what I do (although usually a few days before the year's anniversary...because I don't want to chance getting distracted/sick/etc.). They would NOT give me the same deal when I canceled the last time so I walked away. So I...

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I'm looking at the offer right now, Ron. It doesn't seem very clear about that issue. But at the top it says: "Save 72% off the current monthly rate with a Music & Entertainment subscription." They cross off $17.99 and say $5/month for a year. Save $156. Includes free activation, too...

    My daughter and myself each just got snail mail solicitations for their $5/month for a year deal.

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I've had my current car five years now (will be paid off next month!!! :D ). I had my first exposure to Sirius XM with the free three-month introductory trial and renewed the service each year up until about a month ago. I had been calling each year at renewal time with threats to end...

    BIll: What their best offer to you before you bailed?

    Then what the heck WOULD they allow you to use the gift cards on? Hardware? That would be aggravating.

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    That is EXACTLY what I do. But I call a couple days ahead, because I don't even want to run the risk of them doing an auto-renew on me. I still haven't done anything about the fact that Sirius has a new station I want to get (in the 400s, I think) which my car's receiver cannot receive (it...

    Of all the songs that should be put into heavy rotation...THAT ONE's at the top of the list. :D

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    But I still "get" the sentiment. Every Christmas--in almost every market--pops up the "All Christmas Music" station. Inevitably, they each have the most limited playlists of Christmas music. Whereas I have SO MUCH Christmas music in my collection that I know I could play Christmas music...

    They'll give you the same deal when you firmly tell them you don't want to renew.

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I hate this shit. The refresh did nothing. Four conversations with four different "technical assistants" today and the only common message from all of them is that they had NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING!! After spending twenty minutes on the phone in which the nice young lady asked me three...

    Um, I do. But there are different levels of Sirius XM service and I don't think streaming capabilities are offered to my level of service.

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    Most of the upper channels in their lineup are streaming channels. Since I'm only a "Select" subscriber (pretty inexpensive deal) and not "all access" I don't think I have access to the app or streaming, Tony.

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I just chatted with a SiriusXM rep. Johnny was spot on. My car's radio needed to be "refreshed" in order for me to receive a number of channels with numbers higher than 225. Since I'm at work, I couldn't do it now, but they texted me a link which I can click which will send the refresh...

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I'm a relative newcomer to Sirius XM. I enjoyed my freebie subscription when I bought my car a couple years ago and took advantage of the tremendous discounts that get offered to get you to renew. But there's a channel I want up in the 400s. But the radio in my 2013 Honda CR-V only goes up to...
