Commercial Channel Blocks in Effect due to Settlement

By a decision reached by SIRIUS in 2003,(Fashion Cents/Detroit vs Sirius et, al) the following channels are “restricted” unless a form is submitted to your vendor requesting these channels.  Channels with Adult Content (such as offensive language, sexual situations) are included in this block:

Channel 19 – Buzzsaw (Hard Rock)
Channel 20 – Octane (Hard Rock)
Channel 21 – Alternative Nation (Alt Hard Rock)
Channel 23 – Hair Nation (Alt Hard Rock)
Channel 27 – Hard  Attack (Very Hard Rock)
Channel 28 – Faction (Hip Hop/R&B/Hard Rock Mix)
Channel 32 – Reggae
Channel 34 – Old Skool/Backbeats
Channel 35 – Chill
Channel 40 – Non Stop Hip Hop
Channel 43 – Old Skool Rap
Channel 45 – Shade 45
Channel 50 – Hip/Hop Currents
Channel 51 -  R&B Hits Current
Channel 53 – Soul Town (Contains Old R&B and Hip/Hop Hits)

If you would like this content in your business, please inform us upon installation.  This is a "default" block on all new or swapped receivers since June 2004.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we have no control over the court's decision and SIRIUS is obligated by law to follow these regulations.  After this decision was reached, XM, Muzak and DMX/AEI reached similar decisions.  If you think about this - it is similar to parental controls on cable and satellite.
