[Electronics-Talk] New Satellite radio desperately needed

[James Aldrich]

Hi all,

For your info only!

If you have echo devices or alexa enabled devices, one can enable the Sirius xm skill.  Link this skill with your sirius xm account by lputting in your login information.  If you wish to hear a given channel, ask alexa to play radio classics from sirius xm radio or channel  148 from sirius xm radio.  Alexa, play fifties on 5 from Sirius Xm.  She’ll go right to the requested channel if available online.  This is so easy!  I don’t listen to sirius xm any other way much of the time unless I wish to rewind with the app.  If a station isn’t online, I don’t miss it!  That’s me of course! I’m not telling you how you should listen.  My channel is available to me at my command! Sirius Xm couldn’t be easier!

Another possibility would be sound bars.  Lots of them on the market and
take up less space.
