Well its complete crap now HB3!!

Shallow playlists,they removed many good channels!!!

BIG TRACKS - Best mix of 70s and 80s I have ever heard..
THE SYSTEM - Excellent beyond words! (An electronic playground for your mind)
LIQUID METAL (That new one is crap compared to how it was originally)

3 of my favourites!

I'm not about to go back to them anytime soon, for any price. I'm still plenty pissed at their customer service for all the run-arounds and promises not kept. I have to think if they would just do their **d damn jobs and quit trying to figure ways to weasel out of work, they would have more customers and a better reputation. But till then **** em.

I have had both and found Sirius had much better sound quality. For me anyway. Seemed like XM tried to squeeze to much into the pipe and it sounded like a tin can.

And I don't want to jinx myself but I have never had a problem with them and everything always worked well. I have also never had my internet or cable go down. I was one of the first people in the state to get cable internet to test way back in the 90's. I still have the same account and never even a blip!!!!!!:D

Its weird I tell ya. Im a freak!:eek:

We got a subscription to Sirius when my wife got her new car - she's hooked on the songs from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s.

Gonna have to see what I can do about XM........ really hoping for some delay or archiving option.

So, what would it take for an internet connection?

I believe the Dark Matter program will be available as a download to internet subscribers of Sirius XM. Though the download may only be available on devices such as an iPad, iPhone..etc.

I'm not sure. Like I said the availability to download the archives may be restricted to mobile devices through the usage of the SiriusXM application.
Although it is possible that you could download it from the regular internet streaming player as well.

It's one of those wait and see deals.

Also the show will replay immediately after the live program goes off the air.

I believe at the artbell.com facebook page, Keith Rowland posted that Sirius/XM doesn't allow any downloads at all.
However with the internet package/option on a PC or wifi device you can access an archive of the shows (on demand) to playback at any time and you can fast forward to get to any spot. But you can't download them to play offline.

That sounds pretty likely.

I have a subscription and the iPad app. I am able to download certain shows to the iPad for later listening.
This is from Indie Channel 104.

I sent Art a private message on facebook concerning this and his reply is below.

Art-quick question. Will the show be available to download to a mobile device for future listening?

Art Bell

I just shot off an email to a contact @ Sirius XM and if I get any answers to the questions I sent over, I will update all of you here.
