I'm already listening to music at work. The Yankees apparently only care about paying their players and not their broadcasters.

Because I listen on XM
and I refuse to listen to a broadcast that is about 3 minutes behind the real action.
good call
i should invest in one of those portable XM thingies for my office… you get all the games right?
http://www.wellbelowthemendozaline.blogspot.com
Yep
All 162 of ‘em. And some ST games as well. You always get the home team broadcast, which is why I’m getting Sterling today.
they are in talks to merge those services
pending FCC approval I think.

Yep
DOJ already approved. But every satelite radio is equipped to receive both XM and Sirius signals. It will require a firmware update, but that’s all.
You’ll be able to select all XM, all Sirius, a hybrid of the two, or all XM or all Sirius with à la carte channels from the other service.

Do you have your XM
radio hooked up to a satelite? I have a Pioneer Inno (which can record XM broadcasts, which kicks all sorts of ass) hooked up to a home kit. It sits in a dock at work and I have my antenna aimed out the window. The Inno has an Antenna Aiming function that allows you to tweak your placement to get the best satelite and terestrial signal.
On that note
I don’t know how I’d get through my work day without XM. I listen to Lex and Terry (national radio talk show out of Dallas) every morning and then usually listen to Ethel or Home Plate.
I have the Delphi SKYfi3
I hook it up to a home kit at home, but I work in a factory, and my office has a window, but it overlooks the plant, not the outside. I’d have to drill through about 8” of concrete, and I don’t believe I have authorization to do that.

You can listen to XM online, but not games,
And they recently added homeplate to the online service.

The home kit with the antenna should work fairly well at work. Do you live in or near a large metropolitan area? That’s where the bulk of their terrestrial repeaters are located.
