Best of Sirius on XM (part deux)

Thanks Ryan for posting my pics. It seems they just copied the background from the Stiletto on the Inno and XpressRC. Also although the image doesn't show the color saturation very well. The BEST OF SIRIUS cat is in purple. With the PLAY BY PLAY mixed in with other XM regulars.

When I try to login online to my XM account I get this error.

"Unfortunately, system errors occurred during your login process. Please try to login again at a later time, or call 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346) for assistance We apologize for this inconvenience."

I also am unable to update my radio ID for XMRO.

I tried calling in 3 times now and have been told by all three CSRs that they are updating the system and to call back an hour or more later, as they can't add that feature to any accounts at this time.

Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

I had to try twice, but I was able to get it working on my Skyfi 1. It will be odd listening to a morning show that is not dumbed down, edited for content and broken up by commercials every 20 minutes!

Tried logging in with both IE and Firefox. Thought I'd updated one radio, but when I clicked the "Continue" button (I was hoping to activate a second), it took about 3 minutes for the page to load, and it'd taken me back to the log-in page. The first time I logged in, it took me back to the previous screen for selecting what I wanted to add, but said my radio was still only subscribed to "XM Everything", so apparently my adding "Best of Sirius" didn't take...I tried again, and this time it took me back to the log-in screen again...When I logged in, it took me back to the log in screen again but gave no indication I'd made any mistakes.

It seems a little surreal to be seeing Howard Stern and other Sirius channel logos on an XM device. Hell might have frozen over!

After reading on here that it was available, I signed in and was able to add it myself. It took about 10 minutes because the website was slow, but am happy now that I can cancel my Sirius sub.

Otaku91, you can't be talking about Stern, so what new morning show meets that description? Hayseed.

Looks like Howard is creating a load that is crashing the XM Servers.

Seems like good news somewhat

Is anyone having a problem with the Sirius channels dropping audio for about 30 seconds and then coming back on?

Ryan:
XM Channels are now available on sirius. I have two seperate postings (by me (gotta love self-whoring :P)) confirming this:

Sirius Backstage


Wackbag.com

So it is possible, it has been done, go ahead and use my pics, i don't care.

Whoops, no url posting.

Anyway, the wackbag post is at:

My stiletto did not receive an update at least I couldn't tell but oddly enough my stiletto has a weird recording feature.

Howard 100 has been continulous recording for 11hours and counting.

I still can only set a recording for a maximum of 6 straight hours so today might be a fluke. I will see what happens tomorrow.

Still nothing...I finally got through to someone at XM after being on hold for 15 minutes. Then, after her system finished "updating", she informs me that she can't actually do what I've asked and she'll have to transfer me to someone else. Unfortunately, I had to run to a meeting so had to hang up...I'll try again later I suppose, or maybe try the website again. My request was simple; add it to my three radios, keep the billing month-to-month.

1. Received several errors on the web so called XM directly to get the best of Sirius package. Was on hold for about 10 minutes but then got a CSR who was able to update both of my radios to the best of and, after about 30 minutes Howard and the other Sirius stations appeared.
2. I’m curious about what other stations might become a part of the best of package. I think that just Howard 100/101, Playboy Radio, Martha, NASCAR and NFL radio are currently included in the best of? Will music stations become part of this best of package soon? Also, what stations will the NFL games appear on?

I'm wondering where the images are of the Sirius radios getting O&A??!!

on the xm Helix
there is no best of sirius
showing up

Gee, having a tough time w/customer service? What about all the brilliant comments about laying off people asap to realize "synergies"? Notice how many of the employees are very much needed?

I'm a Sirius Lifetime customer.

When I log into sirius.com and try to add the "Best of XM," it says "$150 for the remainder of your promotional period."

So I have to pay $150 for XM channels on a Lifetime sub? Anyone else seeing this?

While I will say that it is interesting seeing XM and Sirius on cross platforms I for one won't be signing up for it. If I wanted Stern and the NFL I would gotten Sirius. I might be one of the only people that liked XM the way the company was run in the first place. With MLB and NHL being front and center, having nice deep playlists and all of the choices in music that the company offered. I have never been a fan of Stern and I dont' follow the NFL. While this is an exciting day for the industry, err, I mean the one company that runs the industry it doesn't mean much for people that liked XM the way it was in the first place.

I was able to get the best of Sirius online yesterday night. It took all afternoon to like 10:00pm to get it.

Added Best of Sirius to one of my receivers this morning before leaving home... within minuntes, it was active and working! All channels seem to work just fine, except that NASCAR Radio seems to cut out for a couple seconds rather frequently. Anyone else seeing that?

Finally got best of Sirius added...Though, I ended up having to call back immediately to correct an error. I went with XM Everything plus Best of Sirius. The girl added that to one of my three radios, but on the other two, instead of just adding Best of Sirius and keeping them on my family plan, she accidentally added Best of Sirius and switched me to the Family Friendly plan...Needless to say, I was a little pissed when, riding in the car, I noticed no more O&A replay, no XMLM, no XM Comedy, and so-on...But, oddly, Squizz and the Boneyard (which I'd thought had always been XL channels) were still there with no XL designation. After another 20 minutes on hold, I actually got someone named Jessica who appeared to be American/based here in America, and she got me fixed up. Loving NFL Radio. :)

It took me a good eight hours via online to get it, but I finally got the Best of Sirius. I just want to know how many merger haters subscribed, those damn hypocrites.

Also loving the background picture on Playboy Radio. Goodbye seedy gas stations!

I have four radios on my XM account. Three Roadies and a Pioneer GEX-P920XM. When I log in to XM, the three Roadies show the "Add/Modify Service" option, but my Pioneer doesn't. Does anyone know if this means my Pioneer tuner won't support the Best of Sirius on XM channels? B/c if so that would suck.
