I hate the way we cant get satellite radio over here.

A while back i was watching some youtube videos, while deciding which car i wanted, and found one of some guy in the US showing how the iDrive on his 3-series worked.

Crikey, there was literally hundreds of sat radio stations to choose from, with every type of music, talk show and everything.

Why cant we get this in the UK? Seriously, i hate being restricted to, like, 5 radio stations where i live, it totally sucks.

DAB has a very good range of stations although not as many as US Satelite

Shame it sounds crap, poor relation to sat. radio.

And you have to pay a subscription for it.

Sirius XM is US/Canada is, sadly, garbage. Horribly, horribly compressed streams that makes DAB sound awesome, and the same songs perpetually in rotation. And all for the low, low price of $15 a month! Jesus.

Two years ago it was worth a look, now since the merger, it's just awful.

Trust me, DAB is better.

Oh. I just assumed that since DAB is so crap satellite must be better.

Concorde, the Space Shuttle and now FM radio. Why are we going backwards?
