DSGB Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I've had one for a couple years now and love it. Don't know what I'd do without it. I wish I had XM, though, since they have baseball and college football. What player do you have? I have the Starmate Replay. It lets you play back the last 60-90 minutes.

Jeramie Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Nope. I adore the idea, however I cant justify a monthly payment. Its the little things that will nickle and dime you to death. Id have a lot more money if it weren't for Satellite, DSL, Magazine superscriptions, Trash bills, etc. Adding a little more to that stack doesn't appeal to me when music is literally everywhere. Again, I love the idea and if it were as simply as buying a player and not having to pay a monthly subscription... Id be all over it.

Guest Finn Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 My best buddy has it and loves it, too. But I'm with Jeramie, I just am not wanting a monthly payment, even if it is only $15. Maybe when the kids leave the roost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have XM, used to have Sirius and XM is far superior IMO. The monthly payment is very justified as far as I'm concerned. I even pay for my dad's and sister's at a discounted rate thanks to the family plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisconsinboy Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 i have had sirius for almost 4 years and love it, i cant stand listening to regular radio. it is way worth the monthly payment, the only think that i dont like about it is that it doesnt have baseball games, other then that it has whatever you want, basketball, hockey, football, and some college games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like listening to music with NO COMMERCIALS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I had XM in my Colorado and had it for a 1 month trial period! I didn't renew it! With my lousy hearing, I hardly ever listen to the radio and can't see laying out money for something I don't use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGB Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I Hear Xm And Sirius Are Going To Merge... I've heard the same and am hoping they do. I wonder, though, if you'll have to buy a new receiver when/if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have sirius. It came with 6 months free on my new truck in February. I renewed it the other day, though i dont like the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've heard the same and am hoping they do. I wonder, though, if you'll have to buy a new receiver when/if they do. One of the shows I listen to on XM talks about it quite a bit and they have XM VP Eric Logan on a lot and they're working on a way to make it possible for all receivers to pick up both signals, even though they were designed specifically not to. But they say that no one will have to buy a new receiver unless they just want to. I still think the merger is probably not going to happen because Sirius CEO, Mel Carazin (sp?) became a big enemy of the FCC when he was Howard Stern's boss on terrestrial radio and the FCC has to vote to allow the merger. In the original contract with the FCC both companies agreed to never merge if it would leave only one satellite company and satellite radio isn't a cheap endeavor. "Mom and Pop Satellite" won't be launching any satellites anytime soon. But, who knows, the FCC may just let this go through because both companies combined will still only have about 15 million subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Nope, sure dont. Have plenty of cd's for those times when the free radio stations are out of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
