I got Sirius satellite radio does anyone here have it? - GoFuckYourself.com

ry0t · 09-22-2006, 11:53 AM

At first I was skeptical would their channels really be that good? I researched which would be better Sirius or XM. Howard Stern didn't influence my decision. (Ok maybe just a little) But since I activated the service ten minutes ago I haven't even turned Howard on. Sirius is the way to go. I like talk radio and they have plenty of channels for that. I also like rap/hip-hop and it's been a fresh mix of different songs that are poppin off! The reason I got a portable Sirius player is because I needed something to exercise with.
So I got the Sirius S50 Portable which also has the record feature and can play MP3's. :

It comes with the car kit it's nice and comes with a remote for the car too.

But I bought the home kit which comes with it's own remote.

Fuck yea, Sirius rules. I love it.

shuki · 09-22-2006, 11:56 AM

Gotta love Howard

squishypimp · 09-22-2006, 11:59 AM

i got it, listen to howard daily

SinisterStudios · 09-22-2006, 12:39 PM

Ive had sirius for 18 months now and wouldnt go back to normal radio for anything

ry0t · 09-22-2006, 01:37 PM

My house is one of those strange ones that does not get cell phone reception same works with satellite. The antenna absolutely won't work in this house so I ran it out to the side of my house. The reception there isnt totally good either I'm using the antenna aiming in the setup. I might have to call the support to ask what to do.

MetaMan · 09-22-2006, 01:41 PM

how much did the portable run you? i have been thinking about getting sirius, a buddy of mine has it and loves it.

ry0t · 09-22-2006, 01:45 PM

It was $250 on ebay with free shipping.

Peaches · 09-22-2006, 01:46 PM

My cars came with it free for a year. I'll renew - I love it! Especially when you live in the woods and can't pick up any stations. There are times when I get no signal up here, but it's still better than regular radio.

BLish · 09-22-2006, 01:49 PM

I love my 3 sirius radios. granted working for Sirius is a bonus too... but outside of that fact... i'd gladly be a member if I didn't work for them.

Sirius has the best overall content period from the NFL, NHL, most of the NCAA, and soon will have NASCAR among tons of other content.

The comedy channels are great too... but the funniest show by far is the Bubba the Love Sponge show!

fallenmuffin · 09-22-2006, 01:51 PM

Better question is who doesn't have Sirius

..

Basic_man · 09-22-2006, 01:55 PM

I got the XM radio, and it rocks! How you like the Sirius?

I never tested XM except for listening online with AOL. Sirius was working great for awhile but now I know I need to get an antenna extension cable and go up to the roof and mount it. It's not holding a steady connection but there are a lot of trees and obstruction around my house.

GonZo · 09-22-2006, 03:20 PM

I have both.
Sirius in the car and XM in the house.

Buzzsaw and Boneyard!

JJSLIMM · 09-22-2006, 03:28 PM

I love Sirius Radio... The music channels are great, listen to it in the car and online all day .. Howard 100 and 101 kicks ass!! Howard TV is awesome to..

zEn84 · 09-22-2006, 03:53 PM

I lost 7k on that damn stock..

RayVega · 09-22-2006, 03:57 PM

So for those who have had both? whats the comparison? which is better?

PatrickKing · 09-22-2006, 04:48 PM

I have sirius and XM Both have great stations but my XM gets better reception and Im into Opie and Anthony. If I had to chose between the two I would choose XM.

OG LennyT · 09-22-2006, 05:00 PM

ry0t · 09-22-2006, 05:09 PM

Worldnet · 09-22-2006, 05:12 PM

marketsmart · 09-22-2006, 05:18 PM
