Does anyone have any saved; screenshots & or ones You've received in the mail or at a store you have of Channel Guides from the old XM days (9/25/2001 -1/13/2011. I'd love to see them to see the changes from what it is now. SIRIUSXM!!!
XM channel Guide

I think that is from 2008, not 2006. In 2006 XM had the alternative rock channels Lucy, Fred and Ethel. They were my favorites.
Here are the Sirius music channels that were carried by DISH Network. Some of these channels launched following the Sirius-XM merger in November 2008. Willie's Place and The Roadhouse merged to become Willie's Roadhouse in May 2011. This channel guide is definitely from that time period
DIRECTV also used to carry many of SiriusXM's music channels. Now they have Music Choice. It is not as good.
I should have a couple floating around someplace. If I can find em, I'll try to post.
The best of sirius, hahaha. I have an old helix box and the napster hookup disc. I just tossed one of those lineups but will see what I have left.
People use only XM as the services name. And the dog hasn't been used for how long now. 13 years?

Huh? If you drive a GM, Honda or Toyota (probably others too), the radio says XM. But Ford, BMW, and Volvo (and others) say Sirius. The service is called SiriusXM, so most people call it Sirius, unless they previously had an XM radio before the merger.
We had Sirius before the merger, and all our cars were equipped with Sirius; so I'll always call it Sirius.
It's like Lockheed-Martin. People call it Lockheed, but nobody calls it Martin.
Naw we won. I understand the names remaining together but that doesn't mean it doesn't souns lame. XM had better gear, their satellites in the urban areas can struggle, and their hiss at the end of words sucks. XM had their chance to blow out sirius in a quarter but couldn't see the vision. I do still use my old ass xm radio though. ha
I've been digging through my server and haven't found any of my old line-ups yet. I'm sure I had some for my old offices. I may have a couple of the cards someplace, but probably won't be able to dig them up quickly.

EDIT: I pulled this off the Internet Archive's January 1, 2006 capture of the XM site, however it looks like this lineup card dates back to October, 2004. I forgot how infrequently they used to play around with the lineups. It was a really big deal when they sent out updates to the radios, I think in part because some models didn't handle it well.
Here's a later lineup from May, 2006, after they added MLB play by play: Wayback Machine
