Big deal.....yawn....

HDD DVD is nothing new. The broadcasters have nothing to worry about as
millions and millions of viewers will still tune in and watch the
commercials.

Your could change the date of this story to 1980 and replace HDD-DVD with
VCR and you'd have the same load of baloney.

$500 million to has-been Howard is retarded though. I wonder if they did
this to keep XM from swallowing them up. Sounds like a "poison pill"
strategy.

I don't read that damn lib lew rockwell site,but I saw this article at
another site that linked it to that damn lib lew rockwell site.The
aricle does concern Shortwave Radio (Hey,I am always on topic,y'all just
know) and other forms of electronic video and audio too.Soon as this Key
Largo movie on tb is over,I am going to cut the light and get my beauty
sleep.I have to watch Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart have that
big shootout on that boat.

It made up my mind. I won't subscribe to a service that will pay an
outrageous price for something I wouldn't listen to for free.

Lew Rockwell is a Libertarian site, not a Liberal. Doctor Ron Paul is
of the finest politicians we have in Washington.

You sound like my Dad, about 5 years before he got cable TV.

I have been getting Philip Swann's www.tvpredictions.com email
newsletters for about five years or more and his Swanni Sez email
newsletters too.So the article wasen't news to me at all.I only posted
it here because I thought somebody might be interested in reading it.I
never watch Howard Stern or listen to him either or any of those other
crappy programs on tv or radio.lib means libertarian,if y'all haven't
figured that out yet.

It made me decide to get Sirius, as I actually liked XM better. I would
pay 13 bucks a month for a decent signal of Howard alone!

So I'm supposed to pay for something I won't use? The only thing I
would ever listen to on Sirius is WSM and I am listening to it right now
on the computer. I spent what Sirius would cost along with a second
phone line and dial up internet to get broadband internet and basic
cable service for the same price. I only spend a couple hours a month
in my truck and a few more at the grocery store or doctor's office.
Please explain the logic of your statement.
You need to spend more time listening to the radio. It'll improve
your disposition.

Actually, I enjoy building and repairing the radios more then
listening to them these days. I have severe tinitus so I have to have
the volume quite high to listen to fading signals. I loved to sit up
all night and listen to international broadcast when i was a teenager,
but that was a long time ago. Still, you haven't explained why I should
subscribe to a service I don't need, or want. I looked at both XM and
Sirius and I wasn't impressed by either. As far as Satellite radio, I
built a C-band satellite system 15 years ago to listen to the radio
stations carried a SCPC or subcarrier on the TV satellites. Have you
ever built a radio and had the joy of hearing that first far away
signal? How about the pure satisfaction of building a commercial
station and transmitting the first signal? Or have you only opened a
box and turned on someone else's idea of a radio? In other words, there
is nothing wrong with my disposition, just that you want me to do things
your way and it just won't happen.

As far as new technology? I've worked on and built commercial radios
you'll probably never see. Some of them will be used to track the
recently announced space probe to Pluto. I learned to solder at eight
when I built my first radio kit. I was hooked. At 13 I was working
part time in a radio and TV shop repairing radios to make money to buy
tools to build more radios.

hear that I can't already hear, here.

Ten channels of every concievable genre of rap music, ten channels ditto
of alt rock, and so on (including talk, everything from Nazi to
anarchist)! There is such a thing as too much choice, IMO. I looked at a
Sirius playlist when I was in Radio Shack (I only went in because my car
was getting an oil change at the Goodyear down the street) and I was
quite underwhelmed. Satellite radio's sole redeeming feature seems to be
that it will tell you on the screen the artist and title of the song
being played. 120 channels and every one of them have junk, just like
satellite TV.
