I started a discussion about this under the sirius interest group but I suppose because I had to create it nobody saw it.
Any other Sirius or XM radio subscribers here? Are you unhappy about the merge? I am a Sirius subscriber and I noticed some of my channels are gone, renamed, or 'converted' into something that is supposed to be a mix from both. I wish that the channel lineup had been just added to, not absorbed and combined because now the djs are not the same, there is extra 'talk' on one of the channels that was not there before, and no alternative to change it to.
My sirius 'new country' channel is now gone and has been taken over by 'the highway' whatever that is. It still plays some new country but the djs are unfamiliar, there are now other broadcast 'shows' in the middle of what should just be music, etc. I am bummed.

It is indeed disconcerting when the things you care about get changed, morphed, transformed in ways that you did not expect. I don't like it and I probably would be unhappy if I had Sirius. Cheers!!

As you can see, I am not a fan of changes. I remember feeling this way when Mylot made changes too. Most of the time, changes are un-user-friendly and a hassle and many times they happen without prior notice. It makes it even harder to deal with when you couldn't figure out what you were going to do BEFORE the change knocked you for a loop!
