dick99 Infected Member Registered: 05/27/01 Posts: 111	I am going to be buying a satellite radio and was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on which format they like best. Also what brand and features to look for. Is the fm modulator better or worse than the tape deck adaptor?

cornball Prime Rib Registered: 07/13/03 Posts: 7406 Loc: Somewhere Up There	I had sirius sat that went directly in line with the antenae input of the radio. I liked their format (past tense I sold the car that I had installed it in) but really don't have a comparison to give you. _________________________ I love this place.

dick99 Infected Member Registered: 05/27/01 Posts: 111	I think I am going to get the sirius format. With the audiovox pnp system. I will try it with the fm modulator just because I can take it anywhere then. I heard that hardwireing into your car audio gives the best sound. I will let you know how I make out.

Deejay Administrator Registered: 02/28/01 Posts: 19876013	I love and completely swear by my Pioneer fm modulated XM Radio in my truck... It totally kicks ass... Squizz is my fav channel, and then some of the urban (rap shit) channels afterwards... Love the way that, since its subscriber based, you hear em swearing and stuff all the time. Its REAL radio man... No bullshit, and no commercials now either.. Plus tons of traffic channels and stuff too... They just expanded the channel line up in the past month or so.... I hardly ever use my mp3 player anymore... For real!!! XM Rules man... I just gotta get another unit in my wifes car...

I just ordered a sirius car unit for 50 bucks I got a pioneer xm radio unit, that came with a controller to use with the fm modulation for 150... then got a rebate for 100 bucks, so it only cost me 50 bucks too. My yearly renewal just came up for xm, and it was only 167 CDN... So thats like 50 cents US! Deej _________________________ ---------------------------------------------------- Deejay - Webmaster

Its REAL radio man... Check out channel 152 - It's the "Real Radio" channel. It's a radio station from my old home town. I used to listen to them all the time. Check out the "Monsters of the Morning" from 6 am until 11. Funny ass shit!!!

cornball Prime Rib Registered: 07/13/03 Posts: 7406 Loc: Somewhere Up There	Funny. Reason I got satellite radio was just so that I didn't have to listen to people talk in the morning or commercials. Many different reasons why peeps get it I guess. _________________________ I love this place.

BUT, i also like listening to the comedy channel when on the long drives, as well as sometimes the talk channels or sports/news also on long drives. Mainly the music channels though... (Although i think i would listen to stern if I could find him on xm, is he on there somewhere?) _________________________ ---------------------------------------------------- Deejay - Webmaster

_DC_ Fancy Pants Registered: 09/14/00 Posts: 3196	I got a Delphi SkyFi w/ FM modulator... screw that adapter crap. Didn't wanna phuck with the factory setup, so I didn't start with an XM-ready unit. The modulator seems to do the job, though. Add to that the micro-antennae... I dig it, guys... Music WHEN I want it; news WHEN I want it... WHATEVER WHEN I want it. I'm going to get an XM Commander, I think... anyone got any good things (or bad) to say about the unit? Of course, the little shit behind the counter was all, "It's the shizzle!" But... he would, wouldn't he, lol? _________________________ EwE have been [color:"green"]¥µÇ\|<êÐ[/color] by [color:"red"]ÐÇ[/color]

dick99 Infected Member Registered: 05/27/01 Posts: 111	My cousin has an xm delphi roadie with the fm modulator and was having sound quality issues, he was using an alpine head unit. He switched to a jvc unit with a input on the front so he can hard wire the xm into it and he says it made such a difference its unbelievable. He said he used someones cassette adaptor and it helped also. My sirius should be here anyday, I'll let you know how it works.

dick99 Infected Member Registered: 05/27/01 Posts: 111	Had the Sirius audiovox system for a few days now and love it! Laugh my ass off listening to the Raw Dog comedy channel. I haven't heard it with the tape adaptor but the fm modulator seems to sound fine to me. After listening to mine for an evening a buddy with a xm system seems to like the sirius channel lineup better, but its hard to tell unless you listen for a few days at least I'd imagine. The only complaint I have is that the quick detachable base seems a little flimsy. One the plus side, if size isn't an issue I find the larger buttons and dial handier to use over a delphi roadie. Better display also.

gramps Queer Eye Guy Registered: 07/04/03 Posts: 372	OK 6 months later and it looks like stern is going to make that jump at any time. They are saying he might get booted at any time from the provider he is with,. Probably getting pissed at all his free advertising and lots of people will jump ship! _________________________
