    Sirius/XM Channel Numbers

    More listening Options for Me You do NOT speak for all XM subscribers. I have been an XM subscriber since 2003. I have not seen, based on my listening preferences, a decrease in XM-originated services, but rather an increase in the options for my listening tastes due to the addition of...

    Sirius/XM sound quality?

    My ears are 56 years old. I think the sound quality on XM is very good. I have a MyFi that is listen to with headsets, in rental cars using the AUX-in, and at home in the Altec-Lansing Desk unit and through my Sony sound system. My wifes. Roady XT sounds nearly as good as CD in her PT...

    XM sending out email addressing FCC interference issues for older models.

    I have one of the old MyFi with a strong FM transmitter so I opted for Option C. I will not use the direct connect for the MyFi, but rather I will change my wife's RoadyXT from SureConnect to direct connect!

    Sirius Radio FM Transmitter Optimization

    I recommend the "direct connect" approach. I have XM and I did this on my Ford Windstar and my wife's PT Cruiser. One major advantage is that I have never had to change the FM station when traveling. I have driven from Augusta, Maine to Miami, FL and I never changed the FM staion that was...

    Sportster 5 install

    I am not familiar with these units, but I offer a word of advice. Do NOT cut and slice. The reason for the difference usually is because there is a voltage difference. If the voltage of the Sportster is higher than the Sportster 5, you will fry the unit. If it is less, then the unit...

    Will Satellite Radio be around in 5 yrs?

    Though not really a valid analogy... AM Radio is still here despite all the other 'transmission' technology that exists today and will expand in the future. Just my not so humble opinion. Bob

    Sirius Stiletto in my car

    If you go with Sirius, I suggest you locate one or more Sirius online forums (or XM forums if you change your mind and go that way). You can use a GOOGLE search to find the forums. On the forums, there is usually an area for installations. You might locate install instructions for your...

    Sirius Stiletto in my car

    The Sirius Stiletto can easily be installed in a car. Based on how you want to use the Stiletto in the car, you just need a stereo patch cord to connect from the headphone output on the Stiletto to the AUX input in your car. These are readily available at Radio Shack store, online, etc...

    FM Frequency Chart

    I am not sure how currency of the list at www.radio-locator.com. I am in zipcode 23060. About 2 weeks ago, I started picking up a station at 88.1, and it is very strong. It drowned out my XM to FM transmission in my car. According to www.radio-locator.com, the nearest staion on that...

    sound quality xm vs sirius

    Personal Opinion on the Results of the Polls I watched the poll and my feeling is that it was biased to whichever group, XM or Siruius, has the larger number of folks responding to the poll. For example, I would always say XM was better becaused that is what I had, not Sirius. How can I...

    XM Quality

    I have an XM2GO MyFi Unit. I like this unit for its portability and flexibility in use for me. In my van, I use the cassette adapter. I also travel weekly and use rental cars. The FM Modulator works pretty well, except in major cities. In major cities I need to frequently change the...

    No holds barred....Which service should I select????

    I am a happy XM listener and I recommend XM. I cannot compare as I have no experience with Sirius. I am a big baseball fan and XM has MLB. One thing I see is that the number of XM subscribers is rising faster than Sirius. If you desire a portable, multi-environment device, presently...
