I want to get a satellite radio, was wondering what the prices run and what brand would be the best value. anyone have one?

 

i like my siruis radio. IMO buy one with the REPLAY feature. Sirius Sportster 5 is the one i have with a interface to connect to my alpine radio. but the dash kit works fine for a regular car.....

think its about 13bucks a month or something like that.... simply look at there site for subscription fees.

main thing i love about mine is you can save up to 15 titles or artists so say akon comes on you simply hit the memory button and every time any akon song comes on it will notify you no matter what channel it comes on! and with the replay feature if you just listened to a song you like you can simply hit the rewind button and listen to it again. its pretty cool feature!!!!!!!

 

i have sirius too, it used to be my brothers but he took it out of his car 2 years ago and left it in the garage, i guess hes still paying for it because i hooked it up in my car and it still works! buttt.... the sound quality is horrible. im not playing it over fm, i have it plugged directly to the aux on my deck and the music sounds like a lower than 128kbp mp3 file. there's all kinds of compression artifacts and junk. i don't know what the problem is. and every time you drive under power lines it loses signal. i went to radio shack and their sirius station sounds amazing so i don't know what is wrong with mine.

 

im very sure that sirius and xm merged together i have the sirius stiletto this thing is awsome its the size of a cell phone you can store hours of music and radio threw wifi and mp3 its also completely portable not onley can you bring it from your car to your house but it comes with head phones that have a built in antenna so you can walk around with it.

 

i dont know if they are joined.... they have a option for the best of xm subgription choice but i have a little xm portable radio and it doesnt have as good of radio stations as my sirius has. but thats just IMO....

 

yes XM and Sirius have offically merged. If you had Sirius you lost some Sirius channels and gained some XM channels, same with XM users, lost some XM channels and gained some Sirius channels.

I love satellite radio, all I listen to besides my ipod when Im in my car. If you are going to use an external receiver then make sure you get one of these or you'll get crapyp reception:

 

ya hardwired is alot better!!!!

 

i bought sirius like 5 years ago lifetime subscription for like 4 hundy. worth every cent.

 

im stealing it in my civic right now. paid for 1 year and its still coming in strong. now i just have to do it to the one in my truck and ill really be all good! i gotta unplug it next month and wait afew months before i plug it back in and hopefully it will still be working but free
