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.


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.

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!

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.
