[Swprograms] XM on DirecTV



The long-awaited debut of XM Radio replacing Music Choice on DirecTV 
happened today and I'm kind of under-impressed. First of all, they 
provided all of the Decades, Country, Urban, Jazz, Dance, Classical and 
Hits channels, but managed to leave out two of the more esoteric Rock 
channels that I would have most likely listened. There are a couple of 
extra channels that are listed with DirecTV, but don't appear on XM's 
channel lineup. I can understand not including things like Fox News, 
etc. since you can always just turn the to the video channel for the 
audio. Not so sure the Traffic/Weather channels would make much sense 
either. It would have been nice if they included the Beeb, tho.

Below is a comparison of XM-provided and XM-on-DirecTV channels. The 
channels on DirecTV with no markings are for DTV Total Choice customers. 
The ones marked with a single asterisk are for Total Choice Plus and 
Premier customers. Double-asterisk are for DirecTV Para Todos customers.
