Satellite Radio, Which Station?

So...My 2011 Cooper is my first car with satellite radio. After figure out how to navigate the mini controls, I was trying to find which stations to cruise to

My Current 6 stations are:
40's on 4
70's on 7
Real Jazz
Lithium
Octane
BPM

Terrible combination, but that is how I have it setup for now!

How about everyone else? Do am I the only one not plugging in a smartphone or ipod?

My current feeling is that the satellite radio is not worth the fiddling. Okay, I do occasionally listen to the vinyl channel. It's my only preset.

i have been a long time Sirius subscriber. Way longer than a Mini owner. You have gotten so used to no commercials that regular radio doesnt cut it anymore.

My favorites:
Howard Stern 1 and 2
Faction (punk)
Grateful Dead Channel (great live stuff)
1st Wave (eighties new wave stuff)
I also love the fact that all NFL games are broadcast. Both the network coverage and both team broadcasts are available.
