(When i can get Both AM & FM for free) 15yrs ago you would have said that very same thing regarding bottled water. Think about that. Once you hear a weeks worth of Sirius Programing you'll be hooked and never think about going back to old Boring Free FM. I'm not a sales man But, if i was there would be one thing I'd sell SIRIUS Satellite RadioWhy. do you ask simply because This Flawless Device & Service speaks for it self.There's Nothing and I mean nothing on Free FM than can come close to this new form of RadioAs far as HD Radio don't trust there promise it's the biggest Gimmick since Crystal Pepsi.With a HUGE line up of Various Music Stations (From Pop,Rock,Country,Hip-Hop,R&B, Dance, Jazz,Classical, Latin,News Formats,Sports,Traffic/Weather, The Best Talk Radio Personalalities on the Planet)with Howard Stern UNCUT, BTLS, Jay Thomas, FANGORIA Radio, Maxim Radio, Out-Q,Cosmo Radio, Martha Stewart, Lime Radio, Raw Dog Comedy, and other Unique Radio Talent Plus comming soon The Foxx Hole by Jamie Foxx (Spring '07) You might be thinking to yourself why pay for Radio. Stop thinking about it and join the Sirius family 11/10.
A second subscription on the same account only runs $6.99 per month.I always get asked why I pay for radio, when I can get it for free. Free listening over the internet with you subscription is a great bonus, I listen for hours on end while at work.I got so sick of driving my girlfriend's car without Sirius, that I bought her the XACT model. After listening to it, most people understand why I pay for it. I have had this unit for two years without incident. I would definitely recommend this receiver to anyone looking for Sirius Radio. I won't drive without it.Only complaint is that the face scratches easily, if Sirius made a plastic case for this I would buy it in a second.I just recently ordered a home dock unit for this and can't wait to listen to it in home.Oh, and don't leave the remote in the sun. Great seletion of commercial free music channels. My battery cover melted and I had to heat it up over the stove to get it to fit again.
Better then I evr thought it would be. I love my Sirius. Love it.
It is ready to go. An actual dial so you can channel surf. Just call, and in five minutes it is up and running. For XM, you had to call, wait up to an hour, enter four specific channels, in order (for god-knows-what-reason) before the stupid thing was activated.
One complaint I have is that specific games are not always easy to find: the NBA games, for instance, show up on different channels on different days, and when you surf the channel menu it doesn't usually tell you what game you will find when you click on it. Compared with XM using the Roady: more (and better) content, easier activation, better display and user interface, and even a better mount for the dash. A remote control is included (though I won't need it in my little compact car). Far and away better than I had with my Roady with XM.CHANNEL CHOICEAgain, excellent. Good sound, easy to install, excellent interface, and lots of sweet channels. I prefer Sirius at all levels. You have to just search for the game you want: lame.SCREENExcellent.
Under XM, I used the Roady. One of my favorites is that Tony Hawk, the skateboarder, gets the chance to lay down some tracks every week. INSTALLATIONInstallation is a snap: just attach the antenna to the roof of your car, plug it (and the power from your cigarette lighter) into the unit, and voila. What a pain in the butt that was. I have to say, though, that the instructions that came with the installation for the car mounting jack are awful: it took me a half hour to figure out that I could adjust the angle of my receiver just by (forcefully) bending it.ACTIVATIONMuch easier than with XM. MUCH better than the Roady with XM, which does not show all this information.FEATURES30 preset stations.
Sirius is fast and efficient.SUMMARYA great deal. I have been an XM subscriber for a year now, and just switched to Sirius because they have NBA, NFL, and NHL. For sports, it shows the teams playing, the score, and which quarter it is. XM has none of these, only baseball. Bright, easy to see, with a clear display of the channel number, channel name (e.g., 'ESPN Radio'), song presently being played, and artist. Here's some details:SOUND QUALITYExcellent.
Tons of rock, country, jazz, hip-hop, talk (right-wing, left-wing, centrist), comedy. Though, it is a bit more expensive than the Roady.
Finally the unit does run alittle warmer then other unites I've had, but not a big deal. Now you cant have possitives without a few negitives. Receiver has a nice design and with the home and car kits you only need to pay for one reciever, but you can enjoy satilite radio in both your home and car in seconds. I would still highly recomend this unit to anyone. The reciever has so many options in such a small design that the button are rather small.
Unit comes with a tiny credit card size remote, makes it kinda hard to work while driving, most features can be done by remote. The rolling display is a real nice feature. great product, great service, who thought that i would never pay for radio, but the content is worth every penny. The Game alert is sent from the heavens. You will love all the features and you will truely love sirius radio.
You have two display color choices, amber and a real nice light green.
