The company says that the audio quality of its current offerings will not change as a result of the upgrade. Current Sirius radios will still work; however, for customers to take advantage of the new services a next generation radio will have to be purchased."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/siriuslogoblu_img_lrg.jpg" /> <br /><br />Sounds great to me (other than that I'm stuck with XM). My only question is why they'd announce this now? Wouldn't it be better to wait until it was just about ready, that way XM couldn't have time to react? Must be to keep the stock price up. :lol:

Great... use bandwidth for video that could be used for more music...


We already have satellite video service!

This is one of the reasons I like XM satellite radio over Sirius
