So im shopping for a Sirius reciever - GoFuckYourself.com

bjjb · 12-27-2005, 04:51 AM

Wish Sirius made one like this XM one im selling on Ebay

XM radio

Whats a kinda cheap alternative for someone who hasnt got a lot of money but really wants to hear Howie next month. Cheapest thing ive found is this for 119 minus a $50 rebate. Anyone have it? Any good?

Sanyo CRSR-10 Radio with Boombox Package

And yeah i know theres better setups for Sirius, but i aint rich

That's the ugliest one they make for my

Do you have a home stereo? If you have any kind of radio really, you don't need the boombox.

I have a reciever built into my home theater system but the remote dont work no more and the volume isnt that good on it lol

bjjb · 12-27-2005, 05:02 AM

Do any of the starmates or sportsters have headphone jacks?

I have the starmate replay and I love it, and it does have a line out which serves as a connection to a stereo or headphones. The thing gets very hot though.

Yeah, you'd be in business with that, but check ebay. I got the starmate with a home and car kit on ebay for $100.

Wireless headphones and the remote and you would be set. The starmate even has 2 display settings. One is really big so you can see the artist and channel info. from the couch. The replay is key too, and the memo feature

I should get commision from Sirius.

here's one for $135 but they send you the info for the $50 rebate.

Bookmarked thanks been all over the web and just not happy with the selection of recievers compared to the variety XM offers. Guess ill find something eventually

Loki · 12-27-2005, 05:41 AM

The Evil Walmart.com website has a basic Sirius setup for under $70.00 thats the one I'm getting next month, I was more wondering myself about the actual 65 chans they have, I'm NOT a sports type person and according to their store flyer "We Feature so much sports that "SOMETIMES" we have to also use 12 of our non sports channels to air them all" The problem with that for me, the chans they "take over" are the talk radio & Comedy stations which I would spend most of my time on.

Anyone know about that? and how often?

-Loki-

WOOOOOT Post# 1234 lol

bjjb · 12-27-2005, 07:06 AM

Fukkin wallyworld doesnt have home kits and i dont have a car lol Too bad.. my dad and stepdad both work at wally world so i coulda gotten a 10% discount

By the way ive seen some shitty reviews on amazon about those Xact recievers. If you havent ordered that yet i would keep shopping lol

RainGurl · 12-27-2005, 07:48 AM

i just got the starmate replay and love it. shopped around a lot and thought that was the best option.

bjjb · 12-27-2005, 07:53 AM

Hey I have a Creative Zen i GB mp3 players with FM radio buit in. So technically I could use that and the headphones to listen to a Sirius reciver thats in my house

enter » · 12-27-2005, 07:55 AM

yes you could, and those xact units are garbage.

xclusive · 12-27-2005, 07:56 AM

might have to get the replay looks like the best option and if i'm happy with the service i'll upgrade to a better quality reciever later

cuda · 12-27-2005, 07:59 AM

Just installed my new Sirius receiver on my car and I'm getting a crackling noise sometimes when volume is up to high...Sometimes it works perfect...All wires are connected....Anyone else having this?

it's a digital signal. it either works or it doesn't. Are you using a modulator or just transmitting to an fm station? I forget the station that has the tech support but they just take tech calls about sirius all day and I've heard this issue on there but I forget the exact solution. Check the website for it.

cuda · 12-27-2005, 08:04 AM

thx Enter... I have it running thru a FM station..Noise is sometimes unbearable

Yep almost every thing ive read has said that

RainGurl · 12-27-2005, 08:05 AM

i haven't had any problems at all and i live in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. maybe check your anttena connection?

bjjb · 12-27-2005, 08:06 AM

It also came with a line in cord and I just hapen to have a set of powered 2.1 speakers laying here im not using They used to sound pretty damn good too and LOUD.. lol I think i got a plan now

WebairGerard · 12-27-2005, 08:08 AM

starmate replay is great. they also make a visor which is cheaper.

One thing to try is changing the station you tune to. Make sure there are no stations near it. For example, don't tune it to 88.1 if there is an actual radio station broadcasting to 88.3 if there is even a weak signal it will compete with sirius and you will hear static or noise.

If that doesn't help you may need this modulator thing. I don't know exactly what it does, I just remember that tech show referring to it.

Maybe I'm just lucky but my gabage Xact unit has been trouble free from well over a year. I have it set up in one room and I can get a clear signal throughout my home on my designated fm channel.

The Key to the whole deal is antenna placement, and making sure you have NO kinks in your antenna cable.

OH I have best results with the 107.9ish chanels

ezrydn · 12-27-2005, 08:19 AM

Pardon me for being so stupid. Why the fuck would someone buy some satellite radio which is over-priced, just to hear some fucking has-been who couldn't make it here on earth? You people amaze me.

I lovr gsdgets and cant get enuff of them.

cuda · 12-27-2005, 08:27 AM

If the place that installed mine set it on 88.1 , how do I go and reset it to a different station?

no problem.

My Radio was under 100.00 bucks, I like Howard, but I also enjoy about 20 other channels as well. Commercial free. I am a sports fan and the coverage is GREAT.

I just view it as the next evolution. You purchase a TV? Most people purchase cable service or Dish service for their TV. You don't have to but some of us like cable.

well then I guess this stuff is wrong????

$48.00 system

$38.00 Home Kit

so for about $80.00 you got both a car & home system from Walmart

Now granted the home kit is out of stock atm, but from what my local store told me that don't mean shit.

Check on the manufacturers site for a pdf replacement. I see more and more of that lately. Pretty damn handy

bjjb · 12-27-2005, 09:00 AM

Loki it just depeneds on what you wanna pay for I guess. I usually do a LOT of window shopping on the web before I buy something and everything ive seen about Xact recievers is that they are grbage. Except for the one guy in this thread.
