XM and Sirrius
 

On another forum, we have a thread going on satellite radio, Im just wondering what your guys take on it is? Anyone here have one, and what do they think?

Im just looking for general info on feedback, how much it costs, is it worth it, ect..

I have Sirius and have had it for I think 3 years now. I think it's awesome, listen to that 98% of the time in my car. I think I'm paying $42 every 3 months or something. You could also pay a lump sum and have a subscription for life.

my family has both. My dad with sirius in his truck. simply amazing plus it has the NFL. XM is pretty decent but i have realized alot of commercials have been showing up on the commercial free XM, kinda pisses me off. Sirius is the greater of the two i believe

I have sirius and will never go without it, just having the song and artist info is great, not to mention if you get bored with a station there are a hundred more to choose, plus sports, costs me $32 every 3 months, but I may do the $500 lifetime package later this year

I used to have XM it was allright, No where near the service of sirius though when I messed with my friends I was impressed. I plan on getting it eventually.

plus you get the internet version with the subscription

Feedback Im getting from people is that sirrius is better... fawk, I think my deck is set for xm haha. oh well.

Buy a portable unit You could allways hook it up to the aux on your deck, hook it up like an ipod.

yeah I know.. I was hoping to have everything set up in once place. Ill have to see what my deck has when I go home this weekend.

The units have a built in FM transmitter too so it really doesn't matter what your deck is. You can always hardwire it into the aux to like said before.

serius used to have a badass fm transmitter, however the fcc raped that due to it transmitting over 100 ft from the transmitter... Now the supplied one blows, its now a must to have it wired.

I have a serius, and i took my time to hide all the wires and i have it wired like an ipod into my head units aux, sounds great. Its mounted in that pointless cubby hole thing in front of the shifter that holds cassettes. I can post a shot of it if anyone wants to see my setup

Our Sport Cruiser boat has XM and the Escalade has XM.

Id like to see it.

Well that sucks, glad I have an older one then.
That is the same spot I have mine, works great.

I've had XM for almost 5 years now and can't complain. Its nice being able to go on a road trip and not have to try and search for a station, or get sick of the same cd's over and over or trying to shuffle thru the iPod.

I couple friends have Sirrius and it didnt' seem to different.
