Sirius now offering increased bandwidth for better sound !!?

bsjd00 · 10-04-2006, 08:40 PM

Unless I was dreaming, I swear I quickly heard an advertisement for this upgraded service on Sirius today ... but I can't find ANY mention of it on their website or on the web.

Did anyone else hear the ad? It could be what we've all been waiting for...

Haven't heard anything. The only increase they cite in their news releases in the past month would be an increase to 5.1 million subscribers.

doesn't sound right to me

and I listen to stern all day and he'd be crowing about it if that was the case

The upgrade is for online listening -- it increases the bandwidth from ~34 to 128 Kbps and costs another $3 a month.
