I am going to have to purchase a Sirius system of some kind before 1-9-2006 as my beloved (go ahead and laugh if you want:rolleyes: ) Howard Stern will be with Sirius starting 1-9-06. Does anyone here have Sirius? What do you think of the service/equipment? Have you had any problems, etc? Any input would be appreciated, as it's not exactly a cheap thing to invest in.

:wavey:

I dont, but I'm seriously thinking about it becasue I heard Major League Baseball is going to be on Sirius now along with the NFL. With this you can get any major league teams radio broadcast on your Sirius radio. I love listening to baseball on the radio, so I might just have to plunk down the cash, we'el see.

I don't have it yet but I definitely think that's where radio is heading just like television did 20 years ago. I know some folks on here have satellite radio. Hopefully they'll see this topic and weigh in.

I have Sirius. I bought a lifetime subscription I love it so much. Great dance stations, an all gay channel, etc. It is awesome. I've had no trouble with it at all.

through DishNetwork, Like it much better than the obsolete corporate-shrill radio stations.

Only listen to the all Bruce Springsteen "E Street Radio", 80's Hard rock "Hair Nation" & "Hard Attack" Heavy Metal stations....Very recommended if you care to hear music without lameass commerical interruptions.

Alright, this could be a very dumb question, but can I subscribe to Sirius in Canada?

I don't see why you couldn't. As long as you can get the device you should be able to call and subscribe anywhere. But I'm not 100% sure.

They actually have a really good Christmas music channel right now. And they play FM on a few of the stations. :)

A two year subscription to SIRIUS came with my new Jeep that I got in September. I can't imagine ever not having it-- it's totally changed the way I listen to the radio. Such a wide variety of music at your comand...it really is something. Can't wait for Stern in January!

about getting Sirius for the 24 hour E-Street station. Love me some Bruce.

I have XM, and I love it. They play Buckingham Nicks all the time on the Loft - Channel 50. Also, Deep Tracks 40 plays a lot of pre-BN FM.. especially Why. I hear it all the time.

Yes, I recommend Satellite radio - XM or Sirius.. you'll never listen to commecial radio again.

I figure I can afford the monthly rate for both XM and Sirius.. and I agree with the baseball.. I can listen to all the Cardinal games. :-)

^^^Are they getting an all Bruce channel? I know The Bridge is all Bruce right now to commemorate the anniversary of Born To Run, but that's only until sometime in January. They do have an all Elvis & an all Stones station.

We're all about Hair Nation, The Bridge & the 60's, 70's & 80's channels. Can't wait for Howard either!

Thanks for all of your comments guys. I basically need 2 radios for the house, and one for the car. Thing is, I heard that you have to pay for a subscription for each radio. Is that true?

Well, I think there's a discount. You pay $12.95 for the first radio, then $6.95 (I think) for more radios on the same account. BUT you can do what we did - buy one that you can hook up to the car and at home. Ours came with a car kit (which mounts on your dash with a suction cup and plugs right into your existing car stereo.) When we get home, we unplug it & plug it into our home kit (which we bought extra - it is hooked up to our stereo in the house.) We only pay the $12.95.

Good idea! Thanks! Did you buy your stuff online or at an electronics store? The people at Radioshack were clueless when I went to see about it there. :rolleyes:

We got ours at Best Buy. Now is a great time to buy (any store, doesn't have to be Best Buy) cuz Sirius has a $50 rebate of some sort - not sure of the details, though, you may want to check the website.
