[quote="floydiandays"]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.

Default Hello Funk

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.

Wolfman

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.

I have sirius. Very easy to install and use. And as to the other channels sometimes taking over. You can always go into the menu and change the frequency settings.

I have XM, and I know people who have Sirius. From what i hear, XM music has more variety (goes a little 'deeper', more obscure stuff) Sirius' music is more 'hit' oriented.

Personally I have Grown rather fond of the 'Opie and Anthony' show ... So i would never switch! (XM is also about 1 yr ahead of Sirius' technology)
