Music Satellite Radio - Page 3

**alnorth** · 03-06-2010, 12:57 PM

I'm looking for feedback both good/bad "love it"/"it sucks" on what Chiefs Planet thinks about satellite radio (XM/Sirius). How good is the reception, can you still get a signal in a typical office building, do you enjoy the music/talk/sports/etc channel selection available?

The reason I looked into XM in the first place is because the Royals are going to be off the air this season in Des Moines (and I wont have to worry about not getting the chiefs next season either). As I looked into it more, XM seemed to be cool enough to keep all year, but I have no experience with it beyond the obviously-biased sales pitch they throw at you.

(I didnt post this in the multimedia board because this seems to be more of a "product review" type of question than a "this game/movie/song" is cool topic)

I liked Sirius however I spent 35 mins on the phone with them today shutting it off. They changed there online listening and were wanting another 2.95 a month for it...no notice or anything that I saw just turned my online off. So I called and told them to screw themselves...customer service sucks if you need to talk to someone live for any reason...funny how they auto bill for a year whether you want it or not but when you call up to cancel they offer you half price for a year to keep you. Won't be going back...oh yea and I have two radios for sale....one cheap one and one that is a year or two old with the rewind pause feature.....hair nation and NFL channel is all I will miss.....just going to buy me an mP3 player since music is free on Limewire....LOL.
