Guys, this is only the beginning. The World Radio Network (

I'm ok with this. It's fun to switch from the BEEB on World Band to the
BEEB on my local NPR station, hearing the same thing.

Right, WRN has some excellent program content from a wide variety of
international broadcasters. In fact, it was to a large degree Sirius's
inclusion of WRN in their channel line-up that swayed me from signing
on with XM. Months back, before doing a comparison of between the two,
I had simply thought I'd sign up with XM, since the E1 receiver was to
be XM ready. But as it is now, the XM section of my E1 lies
dormant...oh, well, with the much more versatile plug-n-play units so
cheap for both XM and Sirius, I really see no reason to use the E1 for
sat radio reception, anyway.

It would be nice if WRN had R. Bulgaria and AIR on board.
