    Can anyone with Sirius let us know how Lithium is?

    X-Country is gone. Top Tracks becomes Classic Vinyl.

    On the plus side, I'll now get Margaritaville and the Dead channels.

    I like it but it sucks you have to pay extra $5 to get the NFL talk channel, that's the only one on the Best of Sirius package that I want which XM does not offer.
    Midnight should be fun.

    Decent representation of the genre. Lots of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, STP, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, etc. Also harder stuff, with some strange "90s alternative" choices mixed in -- like the Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket.

    So it sounds like a duplication of Lucy ... I guess I can live with that.

    With that extra $5 for the Best of Sirius, do you get all the NFL play-by-play as well?

    No Boneyard? WTF???

    They better not be getting rid of The Rhyme...

    EDIT: NO FUCKING THE RHYME???

    I'm gonna cancel my fucking subscription.

    Cocksuckers.

    Yes, for $5, you get all the NFL p-b-p, NASCAR, Stern, Playboy and Martha Stewart.

    And that's where they lost me as a customer. Either you are one service or not.
    I refuse to pay one penny more for the Sirius channels - they are one company, it should be one service. All channels available to all customers for one price. Period. The government got suckered into approving this one.

    Yeah, that sucks. At least Lucy was replaced by a similar channel. There's no classic hip-hop channel now.

    They've got old-school stations for virtually every other genre but rap.

    I'd estimate The Rhyme is on in my car 90% of the time.

    This is complete bullshit.

    I swear, five minutes ago I was in my car listening to Lucy. Why am I still getting the channel and all you losers aren't?
