And I listened to Howard on FM for many years before Siri. Actually for the time in which I had Siri radio I didn't listen to him all that much.

Granted part of the reason was the total amount of time I was in the car on a daily basis was like about 30 min. After awhile I couldn't justify paying for the several radios. Partly it was the economy, and more so it was simply not worth it for the time I used it. I'd get the internet subscription, but feel it's stupid that they won't open up the full pogramming for the net??? Makes no sense to me. I suppose they'd prefer I pay for an expensive home unit and needed accessories for that home unit!!!!!!

Is it a bandwith issue as to why the internet subscription channels would be limited??? I look forward to a time when I can have Siri in the house. I don't wanna have to mess with taking a car unit out of the car daily to bring in the house, to then take back to the car. Even with the 2.0 coming out this time next year or so, I doubt I'd get a car radio as I still wouldn't be in the car enough to justify the expense! And not sure why the home units are so expensive, and the needed antenna for it.

Back to howard though, I think I had listened to him so long that it just got old. I enjoyed discovering new musicians that you'd never hear on top 40 FM stations, especially these days. And the comedy channels were also cool, especially when travelling. I do enjoy Pandora and as much as it's system of matching music likes, I greatly look forward to Siri/Xm applying this same method to it's service. Perhaps I'll rethink a single radio for my car only.
