    not too happy with Sirius

    That's true, last I knew, SIRIUS on dish was a 200kps MPEG1 stream. The audio comes directly from SIRIUS too.

    Sirius e-mail address?

    What are you trying to contact them about? I ask because not only may we be able to help you, but depending on what you are wanting to talk to them about, depends on how to contact them.

    not too happy with Sirius

    It's impossible to determine bandwidth bit rates. SIRIUS Uses it's own CODEC so there is no comparable technology or bit rate. I can tell you that if you are saying that the music is at 13khz then you need to pass what you're smoking. The online streaming is at 34k and my radio on my desk...

    Sirius No Different

    Okay, So I'm bias to SIRIUS. But here it is. I love 80s rock. XM has wind bags for DJ's. Especially the morning guy on the 80s. XM Plays TOO MANY B SIDES! That's right, stupid stuff I don't want to hear. SIRIUS needs a little more variety and they are actually doing it more now then...

    I Need Promo Code for XM Activation

    Yep, I just activated an XMPCR in the last month, used the old promo code from December, it said it was invalid, but I didn't get charged an activation fee. Too bad the JCPenny 1 year free code doesn't work though. I did get 2 recievers in on that one though! :D

    Sirius Sound Quality Issue

    Well, SIRIUS is Not CD Quality. It is Digital though. That being said, it is of good quality, the typical person would say it sounds great, true audiophiles would say it sounds like it's been compressed, because it has. As for CD Quality via RCA cables, Yes, absolutely, you can pass CD...

    SIR-ALP1 with CDA-9805

    It has to be a 2004 and up tuner. Your radio is too old to support Satellite Radio.

    Antenna Placement

    For SIRIUS, many have to put the antenna on the roof to get a clear view of the sky. It is after all Satellite Radio, so if the antenna can't see the satellite...

    Sirius Starmate AC Adapter - Milliamps?

    Personally, I'd go for a 1A 12v source. As for the differences, there is none, 12v from a car is the same as 12v dc from a DC power adapter. I'm not sure if an older adapter will work with the new Starmate though. I don't have a starmate. I know for most of the SIRIUS Radios, they use 12v...

    Sirius Starmate AC Adapter - Milliamps?

    Rich- I thought you said Starbase, not the starmate. The starbase runs 600ma. The starbase should run the same as the starmate though as it runs the same Gen 2.5 tuner and an LCD of the same size (little smaller I think.) The starbase actually measured a bit less than 600ma on my meter and...

    sirius antenna question

    Make sure the antenna is on the top of the car, and not obstructed by any type of racks, etc. Don't put it on your trunk unless you have a convertable or canvas top. Also placing the antenna on the drivers side (not the center) of the roof, will increase the line of site and help with drop...
