dnhyoung Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I was wondering what kind of Satelite radio you guys are using. I have looked at both Xm and Cirius, and think that I am leaning towards getting the ROADY 2 from XM. I know that it won't be the sounds quality of a new head unit, since it is an FM modulator but I want to be able to use it in both my personal and work truck. Yes I know that Cirius will be adding howard stern to their Line up but that doesn't matter much to me. i am more interested in the getting a continous station without constantly searching for a station.. Any Input would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 You mean Sirius? My dad has XM in his truck, and it's pretty sweet. He rarely changes stations, and he likes almost every song. Not too sure about the Sirius though, never had an experience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04ShEeLE Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I can't stand Howard Stern. I just don't think he is funny, I think he tries too hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnhyoung Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I can't stand Howard Stern. I just don't think he is funny, I think he tries too hard! 466037[/snapback] I really don't care much for "his" contribution to the show but he's got some hotties and that's about the only reason I ever watch him on cable. Oops, to be politically correct, I am attracted to their intellectual beauty..LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterThanU90 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 My bud has Sirius radio in his truck with a touch screen i love it TONS of channels no static or commercials besides the guy u hear every 5 or 6 songs shows the artist song name and everything about the album just cuts out under bridges and tunnels.

wesw Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 xm totally. they have the better products. and unlike sirrus they have a portable unit that gets live feeds. sirrus doesnt. basically they have the same content, music wise. my buddy has sirrus. i prefer xm music compared to his sirrus but i didnt spend a lot of time on it. and opie and anthony are way more funnier than stern, who gets 500 million dollars. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/9181584/howards_end http://www.forbes.com/markets/equities/200...7markets03.html i have a roadie 2 in my pu. its a nice small unit. i perfer xm but thats just me. more variety and stuff. 6million sub compared to under 3 for sirrus so you can see where people are going. also RADIO IS FREE AND SO IS HIV.

yamahammer_409 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 XM all the way. Well it really depends on what you listen to. Sirius has alot of rock stations but its mostly underground and garage bands. The best thing to do is listen to your buddies and see what you think.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I've got the MyFi XM setup and it's great. It comes with the home and car docking stations so I take it with me to listen in my house and in my truck. I even have it sitting next to me at work because I get reception inside with the built in antenna which I figured would be junk but it's not, I'm not even by a window. Now when I'm inside I have to find the right spot but since it's got a built in FM modulator I just listen to it through my am/fm walkman so that I don't have to move it. I need to get an additional docking station for work because the battery only lasts about 5 hours. When I travel my rental cars have Sirius and I can never find anything decent to listen to, I haven't heard the Stern show yet but I was very unimpressed with everything else. XM there's always something good no matter if you listen to rock, rap, country, reggae, talk, comedy, opie and anthony, christian, latino... Now that I have it I wouldn't be without it. Sirius has been operating in the red pretty much since they started and paying Stern that kind of money doesn't make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzcolobanshee Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I also have a MYFI and love this sh!t out of it. I listen to opie & anthony most of the time but listen to a lot of music too. I've listened to sirius a lot in my buddys truck and it's allright, but I would never switch. XM all the way!
