Satellite radio is about not losing your local station on road trips. As a kid in the backseat, I hated having to rescan different stations all the time, and I love how automobile companies quickly adapted. For more documentaries about the world of vehicles, please subscribe.

Had Sirius in 2003 and next car had XM built in. I still have SiriusXM but remember I liked XM better. Too bad they were allowed to merge, too many monopolies and no competition so no other similar choices.

[MrDirectorsCut]

this is a great video! thanks! keep it up dude

[kevin]

Now siriusFM is a shell of its former self ... DJs on every channel .... one guy I listen to is Eddie trunk.... making me keep my lifetime subscription

[collinsnider]

One thing Sirius and XM have in common besides being both satellite radio, they go all fuzzy whenever you're in a tunnel or parking garage.

[GEAUXFRUGAL]

When driving I-10 1990 to CA you got out west TX there was only one station. It split between English and Spanish. It was all you could get .

[NOTLeavingLV]

keep making content. I know how hard these are as I make this type of video. You’re better than many many others.
Also, they gave me a trial of sat radio. It is useless. CarPlay and the internet wins for city dwellers.

[Wesley_C]

Very nice video, I can't imagine when the Sirius was adding XM.

[timothystockman]

I started out as an XM subscriber, but I ended up with both in my car for a few years until they merged. After the merger, I felt it was a waste of bandwidth to duplicate the programming on both systems. They had a complex merger. because Sirius and XM in Canada did not merge right away. I'm not sure exactly what the situation is now, but I do believe they got rid of the Sirius tundra orbit; now everything is geostationary at the equator.

[RogerBates]

My understanding is that there's too much electrical interference with a.m. in an electric vehicle so the government can make demands, but if it won't physically work... the car companies are performing an exercise in futility by continuing to put them in.

[JoshuaClinard]

You forgot to mention that Sirius was Called CD Radio in the beginning.

[beingsneaky]

I don't use sirusxm to its full potential most i listen to is the 80s channel. Then 70s 60s old man here lol. I I careless about talk shows and sports.

[thefibergoddess]

I had XM for a few years, mainly because they had the NASCAR station. I was on the road a lot at the time and was tired of missing the races. After a few years, XM changed the format and lost NASCAR. I dropped it and waited until the merger was was done to see if I wanted to try again. It was a big nope for me. NASCAR was part of a bundle of 6 channels. Out of the 6, I didn't want my kids to have access to 4. So I was going to have to pay for the basic subscription, pay extra for the bundle and pay even more to block those 4 channels. The price was close to paying for cable TV!

[mikehunt]

SiriusXM recently got rid of the traffic channels which blows. Bring back Music Lab.

[camdenandersen]

I think we all need to get a class-action lawsuit against Sirius to get them to start playing MORE music. Nobody should want to cancel a service that serves them. Nobody should want to change a channel that plays good music for over an hour. Sirius needs to get SERIOUS about better disc jocking, and more variations and varieties of music than just " Top Ten commercial music without commercials." Their system is failing and it is not doable for so many that they should wonder about what is to become of their stations, and their personal ASSULT on Classic Rock and the future of Channel 26.

[beingsneaky]

Yeah, I still lose the signal. It's not fuzz any more it's no sound at all.

[WeSRT]

Ubiquitous LTE or 5G will kill satellite radio eventually.

[tenring]

Don’t know who won but the customer definitely lost. I love satellite radio but I’ll never sign up for Sirius XM again. They are scammers

[truckermikemct]

The creator of Sirius is a very intelligent MAN.
Born a MAN, always a MAN.

[mfahey]

The story really interests me, I wanted to keep watching but at 4 minutes I gave up. So many stupid sound effects, particularly the keyboard clicks when text appeared on the screen. So annoying.
