December 15, 200520 yr QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) Oh, it doesn't get the signal unless its plugged in or something? That is dumb. I'm not an mp3 person, so this would be of no interest to me, especially at this price. That's what I am trying to find out. No one can tell me if it's portable like XM.

You can even download your favorite MP3s for even more listening enjoyment." If this doesn't get the signal on the go, this is false advertising. If you can get a definite answer on this thing please post it.. I'm getting pissed at these idiots that work at BB, and CC..

December 15, 200520 yr It took two years or so for the first pocket XM receivvers to come out, iirc, so I think Sirius is still just playing catchup and they will be out in a few months. If that is the case then Sirius blew it bigtime by not having that hardware ready for the Stern migration.
December 15, 200520 yr Author this was back when stern had the old t.v. show on channell 66... which i think became 26.... it was "stern illustrated" i wanna say... and hes taking picture of girls, on these really cheesy sets. One Girl comes up and with a thick accent goes "I love you HOW-AR" (doesnt pronounce the D) Howard replies "HOW-AR? baby, didnt u hear? if can't prounouce Howard you get deported"

December 16, 200520 yr Author Howard is about to give his speech... just wanted to let those know who care
December 16, 200520 yr Howard gave a great speech...and on yahoo they are continuging the coverage...howard and the gang are headed there for a party...and Cheryl Crow is going ot perform...how awesome.
December 16, 200520 yr The Hard Rock is going to be a mad house. Great show. Classic Robin. Can't wait till 1-9-06
December 16, 200520 yr I thought Howards speech was kind of repetitive, but it got a reaction none the less. I noticed the dump button being pushed many a times during his speech.

I noticed the dump button being pushed many a times during his speech. They dumped on all of their speeches at least once. Artie..Robin...even Fred got dumped once. i was beginning to wonder if some of them were more satellite interference than actually dumps.
December 16, 200520 yr it was a good listen as a long time Stern fan. Howard lost it a little for me (trust me, I still like him and while I don't have Sirius right now I know I will get it eventually) when there were too many "yes" men around him The thing I remember most is about 1-2 years ago Howard kept saying how much he liked this "new" Adam Sandler CD and some bits on it. When he finally played it he played "Tollboth Willie" which was about 10 years old at the time, and all his staff, KC, Fred, Benjy, Babba Booey, were all saying how funny it was. Know come on, one of those people had to know, or at least got a phone call, to say how old that was. Also, Benjy Bronk (sp?) is horrible. He's not funny at all. He does the "over-the-top" act which isn't funny, only uncomfortable to watch. When they had the staff dress in drag for a beauty contest he did some ridiculous character that ruined the bit when he was on.
December 16, 200520 yr Stern on Yahoo That is a link to the Hard Rock stuff. Not sure if they archived the broadcast or not but the stuff at Hard Rock is there archived for those who missed it.
December 16, 200520 yr http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServe...d=1130363753674 The latest in Satellite Radio technology combines live reception within the home, car, or office with a portable player which boasts a full color screen and over 50 hours of content storage. Add your favorite MP3’s to recorded exclusive content from Sirius for personalized play lists with the PC Software. When placed in a powered dock with an antenna, the Sirius S50 recieves live broadcasts from Sirius Radio and records content for playback in the home, car or when portable. They sure have tricky wording, I'm still not even positive, but it seems like you can't just take it everywhere and listen live Edited December 16, 200520 yr by 3 BeWareTheNewSox 5

I think that's the one I have. I'd love a truly portable one like XM.
December 16, 200520 yr I gave it a listen to see what the commotion was about...wasn't really impressed. I guess you would have to be a longtime fan to truly appreciate it.

I guess you would have to be a longtime fan to truly appreciate it. Same reaction from a few folks in the office who have only been listening a couple years. They had no idea who Hank was, the history with Sam & Jessica, or the big deal over Tiny Tim... I probably would have felt the same way had I not been listening for the last decade or so..
December 16, 200520 yr Author The last show was for the die hard fans.... they didnt do any bits really.... it was just a giant thankyou/goodbye to all the fans who've been there for awhile. Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf..... mooning david blane covered in ice... classic
December 16, 200520 yr Since the XM My Fi portable antenna they give you with the product sucks, I've been doing some research and have heard this could be the latest and the greatest for portable reception: http://www.xmfanstore.com/showproduct.php?id=clipxt I may try this soon as its gotten some good reviews on this site.

Ya know.. I've had nothing but good luck with that little antenna thing. I have to admit, I was surprised though. I thought it would suck also.
