Cheer up, ** satellite radio service for the most part by and far is pretty good. I agree that there's always something that you wish computers understood better, but maybe it was the sound of the crashing waves that caused it not to understand you ;)
I am cheery, arne't I? :) I was mostly amused (and maybe a little peeved) by the system's inability to help me in an efficient manner. All this money for an automated system and not only does it not work, but it also frustrates the customer even more? Brilliant use of capital!
