Go to Sirius.com and you can see the channels as well as listen to the music streams in 20-minute increments. personal email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] yahoo messenger: tlsyslo AOL instant messenger: drizzlecat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary G.

Mimi, that sounds great. I shall be interested to hear the comparison of Sirius and XM. I tried to download the adobe channel lineup but for whatever reason, openbook wouldn't convert it, so if you happen to be able to get the lineup in some kind of text format, I would like to have it! -- "mimi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Yeah, on the main XM receiver, which is not on the computer, I have the wire tucked inside the boombox the way you described. On the pcr, it is dropped behind the furniture to avoid tangling. I activated the Sirius today, so am feeling my way around. As soon as I know enough to say more, I guess I'll hold my comments. Already, I have found the NPR feed and all the music and sampled a little talk and discovered their version of Radio Classics. They play similar programming to XM's Radio Classics, but not the same exact shows at the same time; have not heard between the shows yet, but I will later today. The long wire is under the desk at the moment and the flip part of the antenna is resting on the slide-out shelf of my computer desk as that is where I can place it right now. I have both on and side by side. This is going to be part of my audio setup at the new place, too. Mimi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary G.
