Sirius satelite radio or IPOD

[SMOKE]

how many of you guys have sirius sat radio im really considering gettin it just curious as to what everyone thought about it. also how many have ipods and whats your opinion on them. cant decide which way to go

[h20fowler]

I Absolutely LOVE my sirius radio!

I got a 6 month subscription when I got my truck. It was not a selling factor and I could have cared less. But after listening to it for 7 weeks. I wouldn't go without it.

Not only that. You can use your account to listen on-line. So I play it at work, and for background noise here at the house.

[h20fowler]

Also, If you want to you can go their web site and get a free 3 day trial to listen to it on-line.

I have a 30 gig Ipod....love it. Has videos, pics, and music ($250 new). Get you an FM Transmitter and it's like carrying around every cd you own. Just wish iTunes would wake up and let you download dvd's to it like you can cd's.....BTW any help there??? I know there are some pirate sites, but which is the best?

[SMOKE]

yeah im doin the three day trial as we speak. a lot of my friends have it but i cant decide which one to get cause well i have ALOT of music

[h20fowler]

Depends on your taste. I've never been big on downloading music, and don't own an Ipod. Put i don't think I'd go without sirius after having it. If you decide the 3 day trial isn't long enough let me know.

i had an ipod once it took me a week to figure it out, two weeks to break it and another week to get a new one and sell it. i hate electronics, by the time i figure them out they are already out dated!

[kingkilla]

i have XM and i love it. i have had 2 ipods and they just dont last. in my mind ipods are to expensive for how cheap they make em

[DropEmInDE]

Yeah I was iffy when I got my Sirius, but after having it for a while, I can't see how I would be without it, and from the last news letter I got, by this time next year, Sirus and XM will be merging which means more channels, more comedy, more news, and more music,

if it wasn't for the comedy stations I don't know how I would get thru my day

[MNduckkiller]

by this time next year, Sirus and XM will be merging which means more channels, more comedy, more news, and more music,




And more expensive subscription rates!

i dont know if they will merge cause it will be to much of a monapoly

[huntinPIKE04]

i have a 30 gig video ipod and its awesome, i have over 6000 songs on it and there is still plenty of room...it basically goes with me almost everywhere like when im walking to class, in the library, and when im driving and working out...so basically it you can take an ipod with you almost anywhere you want to listen to music and put just about everything you would want to listen too and nothing that you dont

they are mergin because sirus is losing money. The whole howard stern deal really killed them.

[mnbenelli]

I've asked before how to download dvd's to my ipod....Love to put my Fallin Skies dvd's on there! I do have Tombstone on ther though! Greatest movie ever made!

[huntingbuddy]

I do have Tombstone on ther though! Greatest movie ever made!I would have to second that

I know you don't want to hear this Steve, but eventually you will want both, especially if you're a music freak like me. Here's why:

First of all, my wife and I both have XM which is pretty much the same as Sirius. If you're into non-music radio (news, sports, etc.) while in the car, the iPod won't cut it. As for music, you'll need the sat-radio in order to come up with new ideas/songs to download from iTunes for your iPod. Otherwise you're just listening to the same songs/playlists all the time.

I have a 40 gig iPod (music only) that's about 3 years old. It's a little clunky, but I'm still into it.

As for the wireless FM transmitter, I have two and have had little luck with them because you're constantly driving into an occupied FM frequency; consequently, you're practically going off the road trying to toggle up/down in an effort to find a vacant freq. If you have a cassette deck in your vehicle, go with the cassette hook-up option (it works great for me). If not, get some stereo-install-guy (hey that's an idea for the next Bud Light "Real Men of Genious" commercial) to install a hard-wire hook-up for your stereo.

MY IPODS ON THE BOTTOM OF REELFOOT LAKE AND MY SIRUS RADIO IS STILL IN MY TRUCK..LMAO,, GET THE SATELITE RADIO ITS FUN JUST FLIPPIN CHANNELS ALL THE TIME

[h20fowler]

Sirius is also starting to off their backseat TV broadcast. Right now it consists of 3 channels.

If subscription rates scare you buy the lifetime package. That is what I am going to do. 400 something for the lifetime of that radio. You can transfer it to a new receiver up to three times for $75 a transfer. If each radio lasts 3 years you are looking at 400 (something) +75 + 75 +75 = 625 (or something). 600 something for 12 years of service.... Not that bad.

that really dont sound all that bad when u figure a 60 gig ipod is like 400 bucks and it might break or wear out. then u gotta shell out the money for a new one. 75 sounds a lot better then 400

[h20fowler]

Just something to think about. I'll go get the actual amount...

Sorry brother. Told you wrong. It's 499.99. Not 400. But still worth considering.

[h20fowler]

oh yeah... Offer ends June 30, 2007. Hurry!

[SMOKE]

so to get started on sirius all i have to do is pay the montly fee and by the radio(sporster 4 cause it look bad ass)?????

[h20fowler]

I don't know. Mine was already installed. I haven't paid any fee yet because I got 6 free months.

[DropEmInDE]

Even if you dont buy it for lifetime...its only freakin 12.95 a month....its not like its really breakin the bank here.......

[foilee]

Word of advice on SIRIUS: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE AND WATCH YOUR BILLS!!!!!!!!

I have gone round after round with these people about our account. They love to pretend they don't know anything and love to double bill you.

Check them out on the Better Business Bureau on customer service and billing issues.

Only put up with it because they have the best stations.

ive heard that before i think ill just mail them my payments if i get it that way theres no autodeduct possibility.

[teamcarnageMN]

i have to clear up a few things here;
-sirius is not losing money, if they were losing money then why are all the pro sports stations all being taking from XM and put on sirius, in the next couple of years all XM will have is the PGA
-also, i do not think you can mail your payments, almost 100% sure you have to use a card of some sort and can get subscriptions for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, yearly, and so on. i've had it for a little over a year and love it
-bubba the love sponge on howard 101 is the sh*t, you have to listen daily cause its like a series, once you get into it and know the lingo its hilarious, and p.s. the playboy channel is bullsh*t
-also i thought the customer service was good, i had it in my jeep with my pioneer cd player, when i sold my jeep i sold it with all my stereo stuff, got my new GMC and they called about me cancelling my subscription and i told them i sold it and they sent me a plug-n-play tuner and all the wiring needed for free!

[H-Unit]

Whats an Ipod?

[mlgorecki]

Are you serious??

[schroho]

Go with the Ipod, you get to listen to the music you want

Does anyone know any good duck/goose hunting pod casts? There seems to be one for every other subject.
