| Re: children's programing... Nothing like re-runs of "Bear In The Big Blue House" or Barney - heck, even Blues Clues to keep a backseat of sprawling pre-teens quiet on those long hauls. I would rather have a back seat full of veging out rugrats than have them acting up and asking "Are we there yet?!" at every rest stop.

| Re: children's programing... I have Sirius sat radio and every time I transport my god-daughter, she loves channel 11 "Kid's Play." She hears Barney or The Wiggles and she goes nuts. Keeps here quiet for the most part. In fact, when I show up at her house, she asks me if my truck is outside and if I have the "music."  | |

| to complement the company's satellite radio service
I think the key here is the "to complement" part of that phrase.
I seriously doubt all these people driving around in $50k vehicles with a factory installed home theatre system will flinch at another $10 or $15 bucks a month while they sit in traffic going to and from their myriad activities and sporting events. | |

| Re: ahh yeah... think about it I think it would be a very marketable product.. Being a parent.. The BIG question will be the cost. 10 bucks a month for Sat Radio is nearly pushing the price point. If they charge 10-15 MORE for video.. It'll be too far out to really be able to accept for a bit of video in your car, expecially when it is for kids(Primarily) and quite frankly, they don't care if you show the same DVD ten times.. In fact.. They would rather do just that in many cases. | |

Because Sirius and XM both utilize ground based repeaters. Much like cell phone towers. Repeater stations rebroadcast the satellite signal to combat the vehicle having no view of the sky.
Thats why XM/sirius work in urban areas. Otherwise as soon as you entered a urban area your radio would stop working.

| XM and Sirius. This isn't good news for anyone that knows about XM and Sirius Satellite radio in detail. When they do offer the service, they will have to take bandwidth away from the talk and music channels that are already on the service, as a result the sound quality will go down. Both XM and Sirius are strapped for bandwidth already. The video channels will probably be so compressed it will be like watching a music video over the internet. Its watchable but highly compressed. Of course I don't care because I like XM better than Sirius. Have 3 XM Radios, and can't stop listening. Better than an Ipod, for me anyway. | |

| Why do you think Sirius is in agreements with dish network ? To get more bandwidth while not having to have it allotted to them by the government.
The only thing XM has over Sirius is more repeaters. I have had both and XM had horrible play lists for their channels. Not to mention having to pay $2 to listen to O and A. Was a big fan of them until that point and that just sealed the deal that I was getting Sirius.
3 auto units and one home unit.... ALL SIRIUS best money i ever spent. Especially when you spend 10 to 12 hours a day on the road all over an area.

Read the articles on this online, and they mention this. You do realize dish network is owned by echo star right ? who will be launching more satellites to provide multiple frequencies per slot ? Read about echo star and their plans for the future.
The feeds will also be up linked by dish network, for Sirius.

Nothing like looking as if you were driving a land based E2C Hawkeye And you think the Sirius video hardware will be cheap? It's one thing to pick up a audio signal from the XM and Sirius birds but a video stream while doing 60MPH is another thing all together.
The TracVison dish will come down in price as soon as there is more competition. And with TracVision you get 100+ channels.

DirecTV already has the product, you get 100+ channels, and the dish that mounts on top is not really all that protrusive. The reason this will be a good product is that eventually, the internet is going to start taking a role here. This puts DirecTV in a good position to capitalize on their technology already inplace. All they will need is a modified version of the current product that includes a transceiver. Picture it... Internet access anywhere in the continetal US, access to over 100+ channels of video. Now, hook up your VoIP phone and kiss Sprint, Cingular, and Verizon goodbye because all of your services are under one umbrella.... Sure there are some minor and some major obstacles to overcome (legislative and technological) but tis is the future baby !!!! | |

| Re: video feed Awesome move by Sirius. They're really coming on strong and rolling great technology out. I recently subscribed to their service and am in love.
For folks with monitors in their cars, imagine watching high quality TV and movies with your Sirius service? What's even more great is now BMW, Ford, Chrysler, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, etc. now offer Sirius built in. And don't forget that Sirius is also for the home. I have it hooked up to my home theater system and it's the greatest. | |

| XM better? I have Sirius and I am a big fan of the whole idea of satellite radio. But to say XM is better i do not think is true. XM does have some very small and nice PnP units. But they have a Sirius problem. As far as I last read both of there satellites have defective batteries and will at best be able to only stay up for half there life cycle. SO they will have to put there spare up plus build two more. I have listened to the music and content on XM and Sirius in my opinion is much better. I enjoy the shows on Faction 28 and Shade 45. Just my opinion on the streams. | |

| XM and Sirius. XM has deeper playlist, and for me thats what I like. Sirius is more hit driven. XM also has better hardware, and is cheaper. Yeah I know you have to pay extra for O&A, and online streaming, but if you don't want that stuff its cheaper. They recently had a free play for O&A and I listened, they sucked so I didn't subscribe, and I'm saving money. Again, I personally hate the hit driven playlist on Sirius, I like hearing songs that I haven't heard in a long time or that I haven't ever heard. BTW, Sirius was debating on raising prices awhile ago, don't know about now though.
