SIRIUS = 1
XM = 0
If you have XM, Will you change to Sirius because of Nascar, NFL, Stern and so on?
I have Sirius and love it. I also own shares of Sirius stock. Symbol = SIRI . price as of 5-2-05 is $4.98 a share. I think it will be $10.00 a share by end of 05 and much higher in 3 to 5 years.
Please keep a running count, IE: Sirius 1 for first post and 2 for second post, etc,etc.......... I am number 1 for this post.
Please do the same for XM
NASCAR may come to Sirius in 06 and not in 07 from what i read and heard. |

| I'm sticking with XM because in 2007 they get NFL. Now they have college sports, MLB, Nascar, better line up of talk radio hosts even though I'm quite upset by them taking off Dave Ramsey and Michael Savage. |

Sirius has NFL until at least 2010.
NEW YORK - December 16, 2003 - The National Football League and SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) today announced a seven-year agreement for SIRIUS to broadcast all NFL games live nationwide, and for SIRIUS to become the Official Satellite Radio Partner of the National Football League, with exclusive rights to use the NFL "shield" logo and collective NFL team trademarks.

| Funk they are very easy to install. Just mount it where you want it in the truck. Plug in it in the Cigarette lighter or push it in the tape deck, mount the magnetic antenna (or you could by one that mounts on your mirror) Make sure you've activated your service and waala you have satelitte radio. |

| If I remember correctly, Sirius doesn't use a tape deck adapter, it works through FM. Almost got it one time just for the Pamela Anderson cutout. She woulda been sweet mounted on the front of the truck. *RUNS* |

They do have a cassette adapter. Sometimes the signal on those low freqs are used by colleges and high schools and they will overpower the satellite signal. Use the adapter and problem is solved. Now if they would make a cd adapter, I'd be happy. |

I've had Sirius for about 1 1/2 years and love it. I hate listening to FM now. I drive for Big R for 15 years now. My Sirius goes back and forth from the car and truck when ever I work. I also use it on my home stereo. The best thing is to have a cradle for each use then you just have to move the tuner from one to the other. There are many brands of Sirius for sale. I have one of the first brands, Audiovox PNP2. Sirius is coming out with a unit shortly before Fathers day. It will have recording like an MP3 player. I don't know what the cost will be. My guest is between 200 and 300.00 a unit. Here are ways that u can hook them up.
GOOD 1.) Set it up to work with the FM signal. If u get static on 1 Feq, change feq on the tuner and Radio. This is the poorest setup but works fine for me. Also lower you FM antenna if you can.
BETTER 2.) Use the cassette adapter if you have a cassette player. Even if you buy an old cheap one, that would work great.
BEST 3.) Wire it direct. I have not done it like this yet. I would need to find out how at Sirius.com or one of the blogs for Sirius.
If you like NFL, The sportster has an alert for when your team is coming on for what ever reason.
Also Sirius will be getting NASCAR in 07. I hear they may get them in 06, I hope so.
Howard Stern will be big when he starts on 1/1/2006
I hope this helps you.

Depends on the radio. My radio uses a tape adapter.
I chose Sirius because it has 2 NPR stations and a PRI station. The musics choice are OK and the comedy channels also. But mostly, I do NPR.
I chose the radio I did because it was sold on their web site and they had a deal where you buy a radio and a yar's sub and get a $30 rebate... and the radio itself was only $70 and came with both car and home docking stations.
I *love* my Sirius... can't imagine driving all day without it. |
