Sirius or XM? - Page 2

**btlook1** · 12-02-2006, 04:59 AM

I'm asking for sat. radio for xmas, I believe my wife is going to get me one. So what is the best, I'm leaning towards the sirius. Seems like it has more to offer than XM. I would also like ideas on models, portability and stuff like that. I would like to be able to take it in work, house other cars stuff like that. Thanks for your help guys. It is appreciated!

Bob Dole has XM at home as part of DirecTV and Sirius in the new Mazda. When Bob Dole was travelling at Thanksgiving, having the NFL channel and the ability to listen to the college and NFL games on Sirius was worth the price of the year's subscription. Bob Dole listens to one station on XM, and that's it...

SIRIUS SIRIUS SIRIUS!!!!
I have 3 Sportsters in my vehicles and work truck. Howard Stern, NFL, no commercials, and one of the best things about the Sportster receiver is that it has game alerts. Whenever your favorite college or pro football, basketball, or hockey team is playing, it alerts you. Push one button, and you are off to the game. All Chiefs games has the option of Chiefs announcers or the other team announcers. First receiver is $13, and the second receiver is $6/month! Give it a try. If you are like me, regular radio will be boring and you will wonder why you didnt do it sooner!! Been a subscriber for almost 4 years!! Love it!

Sirius.

Without a doubt. I've had it for 3 years and can't imagine driving without it.

Speaking of Sirius, I have 2 extra portable Stiletto units to sell. If anyone is interested, I thought I'd throw this up on here first.

I'd take 300 shipped for each. I have 2 to sell. They are retailing anywhere from 330-350 in stores right now (w/o tax) and they are tough to get.

PM me if you're interested. They are brand new, in box, never opened.

I just got a Sirius subscription for my car. It was a steal of a deal at Radio Shack. A Starmate Replay for $59.99 with a $60.00 rebate. So far, I've really enjoyed the service. The music choices are fantastic. I love the news channels and it's nice to have an option to listen to liberal talk for once.

Best part, I can get Sirius on my cell phone. That is soooo kewl.

I've tried XM online before and I had a hard time choosing between the two but in the end I thought Sirius had more to offer in the areas where I have interest. Mainly Classic Rock, classical, news, talk.

Sirius........No brainer.

I have only had mine a year, are you going to make me read the manual in order to learn how to do this?

Picked it up last weekend in kc and put it in today. Someone recommended to me that you install by following the instructions, however I just threw the antennae on my dash and it works great. How did all you guys mount yours? Have any of you guys bought the antennae divider so you don't have to run that wire? I just laid that on the dash also and it seems to work fine but I noticed two things at loud volumne you get a little background static and it's doesn't play as loud as the radio....anyone else notice this?

whoppy · 12-22-2006, 09:19 AM

On my Sportster, it did that at first. I fixed it by changing the FM frequency it transmits to. The frequency it was transmiting to allready had a weak signal coming to it and interefered with the Sirius signal. I bumped it up to an "empty" frequency and every thing was clear as a bell. Also in the menu options, there is an audio output adjustment that adjusts the output of the audio signal. Try turning that up! Give that a try!! Good luck!

I have to change the frequency of my radio on occasion also. Mostly when I'm driving longer distances.

I have FM radio and Ireally like it but I used to get Sirius radio when I was traveling all the time for work. I liked the NFL stuff on Sirius but FM radio is great for all of the other stuff.
