This is great news! I heard the ad myself while listening to NFL 124 yesterday.

There is only one problem for me: The Best of XM package is not offered for my SIRIUS Brix Streamer. It is greyed out on the upgrade page with a message that "This package is not compatible with your current radio." Before I decide to get a newer radio, I would like to know why I can't upgrade this radio. I was able to upgrade my old XM Roady2 to the Best of SIRIUS without any problem. The Streamer is a great radio unit and I really don't want to get rid of it. I'm invested into 5 Streamer docking stations for home and office and a spare Streamer radio unit (which did not cost very much thanks to TSS-Radio). My dad also has a Streamer, a docking station in his car and a boombox at home. This is a lot of equipment to just discard.

This is why I have not upgraded from the MyFi. I have a few homekits and boomboxes. I can get Best of SIRIUS though.

Is there anyway you can get Best of XM online only?

That's a shame. I'll have to decide if it's worth getting a new SIRIUS radio.

I have the Starmate 4 and I like it. Perfect choice unless you want a "Portable" radio (in which case, I suggest you wait for the new Stiletto [or whatever they're going to call the next one]).

I know Home Plate is now on 210, but are we getting closer to having play-by-play as well...

"SIRIUS XM Radio is the leader in sports programming as the Official Satellite Radio Partner of the NFL, Major League Baseball®, NASCAR®, NBA, NHL®, and PGA TOUR®, and broadcasts major college sports."

Official partner? Just announce it already!!

For any Red Sox fans, Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS is now on XM HOMEPLATE if you want to hear the Aaron F___IN Boone Homer again. :crazy:

I think it will happen, they are just going to wait until spring training to announce it so it makes a bigger splash. At least that's what I'm hoping. I've got an XM reciever anyway, so I got it all, but it would be great for y'all (since I know most of the people here are Sirius peeps).

I think 15 play by play channels may not be available.

This company needs every penny they can get. They wouldn't hold back announcing this if they could because they know Sirius people will add the Best Of XM package once they know that they will get baseball play-by-play. I know that is what I'm waiting for. Three is absolutely NOTHING about this on the Sirius web site. So if it is already true, they are doing a lousy job of letting people know about it. :clueless:

Perhaps they have only worked out the deal for MLB Home Plate right now.
