Thats why I got an Ipod

 

everyone should just get a carputer, and find a way to use the cd-changer connector to change songs... that would rock

 

LOL! I never got into that; I work on computers all day and don't wanna think about 'em when I get home- if it wasn't for thirdgen.org I don't think I'd ever turn this thing on

Scrapmaker, I'm sure if ya did a google.com search, you could find someone on the 'net that's done that for whatever brand of radio.

FastRS, what's in this welcome kit thing? Just a username and password? I'm sure if you called their customer service # and threatened to cancel your service, they'd ship one out pretty quick

 

We don't know because we never got one. No where on their site do they describe what it is, either.

 

I think i will be calling them monday. Lets see what they have to say.

 

Well i just called Sirius i guess they are open 24/7 they gave me a password to log into there online radio and are resending the welcome packet. So for those who are waiting for there packet/password give them a call
8885397474

The website does not have the enterainment stations like E or court TV.

 

I found the enterainment section with all the talk shows you have to Expand there browser and it will shopw all the stations.

 

Sirius has a lifetime subscription. At the time I got mine, it was cheaper than a three year subscription to either Sirius or XM. One time charge, and no monthly service fee.

That alone sold me to Sirius.

Joe

 

You ever get yours? 7 months after subscribing and many calls and emails later I have yet to receive my kit.

 

Ya i got mine. Not much came with it just a channel line up list a thank you letter and the password so i can listen to it online.

 

I have XM and im mad they raised the rates. Im going to sell my unit and go back to just MP3s.

 

mp3s! hell yeah!

although my bro has sirius... and they have some nice mixtape stations... that's all I listen to when I'm in his truck...

he did the lifetime thing as well.. good deal..

 

Yeah I called again, got "We'll send it out," yadda yadda. Only thing keeping me to Sirius is The Wiseguy Show and some of the rock channels.

 

Know what I heard about XM, though? If you get the lifetime, it's the lifetime of the RADIO. So if your radio breaks, and you need to buy a new one, guess what, you need to buy another lifetime membership. It goes by the ID # that's burned into the radio.

I'm not sure if it's that way with Sirius tho. But it'd pay to check with their customer service first!

I'd never get a lifetime membership; I currently pay monthly. Just like with my cell phone; I sign up for the minimum contract length possible- just 'cuz you never know what might happen with technology.

 

apparently it was cheaper than a 1 year subscription is now.. but I bet they transfer your lifetime from one unit to another... or they could be sued...

I try to read the fine print on anything like that.

 

Nope, they wouldn't transfer- the person would be stuck because it WAS in the fine print. Just figured I'd warn some people! (I always read the fine print too; if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!)

 

well, luckily, most units don't break...

I'm with you, I wouldn't want a lifetime agreement either

 

xm has more stations than sirius, but sirius is comming out w/ a ton on new products. they've even paired up with microsoft so they are going to take xm off the map in a couple of years. also they are comming out with a video interface so you can watch the music video or sports from your sirius unit. i work at circuit city's roadshop and the sirius rep was showing me a ton of stuff they are comming out with, even the contract with microsoft. so for now, i'd go with xm, but in a couple of years...sirius is going to be top dogg!

 

soon satellite mtv... next full satellite tv, the next sirius sat tv in the home... I forsee

 

XM! You can listen to Opie and Anthony!! lol

 

On XM can you listen to all the stations on-line? I know sirius you can only listen to music stations.

 

yeah, on XM you can listen to all of the stations online, including O&A (opie and anthony).
