And on the sirius radio, of course they don't want you to just be able to sign up for a month, then drop the subscription. It's smart business on their part. They have the rights to the WSOP. If you want to hear it, you have to buy it from them, which includes buying a receiver and getting a subscription.

It's cracking me up how everyone complains about the coverage, but no one wants to pay anything for it. People complain about how crappy CP's coverage is, yet it costs you nothing.

Everyone wants to hear it on the radio, but a $10 a month service is too much. You're calling everything "half ass coverage". Well, hell, what do you want? Sirius is providing live coverage by Negreanu, Hellmuth and other pro's. But, to get that, you have to pay for it. Do you expect all this to be set up, paid for, etc for free?

Most people aren't in the business of providing services for free.

Sure, but we are used to a business model where these services are advertiser paid for and free to the consumer. Although cable/satellite TV has moved in another direction, folks have decided the added value of a gazillion channels is worth moving to a partially consumer paid for model.

With radio, that leap hasn't occurred for most people, and having one program once a year on one channel that you want to hear, is not the value added that makes most people want to jump over to this new business model.

*Shrugs* Services may not be free, but bitchin about it is pretty natural.

Edit: Not to mention, they have the capability to broadcast this to subscribers over the net, but make you pay for special equipment to get all the channels....that's really really lame.

I agree they should have it online.
