Am I the only one who didn't realize that an internet radio sub from Sirius only gets you 75 channels?

My brother lives in Sydney, Australia and he's a big NFL fan. Wanted him to be able to hear Stern, music and NFL.

I guess the licensing with NFL and other channels doesn't allow it?

well, 124 is football.....plus some other stations are football feeds during games only. Maybe its one of those. But also, i dont understand why they dont add 50 or so more music stations for the $12.99. If you go to Yahoo music, you get a ton of music channels, way more than what Sirius offers.

The licensing agreement doesn't allow it.

Yeah, but that's a big part of subscribing for me. I would pay more to have all the channels.

They need to start adding tiers to attract more subs.

They just added football radio channel to the stream. I have the regular stream that is included with the radio subscription and now I get channel 124. I don't know how long ago they started streaming it. I also read on Sirius Backstage that it has been added to the Stiletto wifi channels as well, so it should be up for everybody within a few days.

I would love to have CNN added to the stream as well.
