MiamiJet Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hey guys, I know I've been away from the board for a bit, but I've been pretty busy at work. I have a serious question. Which service is better, Sirius or XM? I understand that Sirius has the NFL broadcasts, so I'm leaning towards them, but everything else seems prety similar. I'm just not sure which one to choose. Also, from what I've gathered shopping around, what should I look to buy and/or avoid? How much installation is involved? My current car radio is fairly new(3 years old), yet the faceplate buttons are worn out, to the point I almost tossed the damn thing coming in to work today. The thing goes haywire, with the volume spiking up or lowering on its own. What is the best unit to buy? How is the signal? Do I have to buy any special equipment? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Maxman Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 There are tons of sites. I would recommend going to a retailer picking out a model or two in your price range and then search the web for reviews on that model. Otherwise it will be information OVERLOAD. Personally I am going www.sirius.com eventually because of Stern and the NFL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verde Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I have sirius. Aside from NFL and Stern, the music they play is more mainstream, the "hits" from bands/singers. I've heard that XM plays more obscure stuff. Both tend to repeat the songs. If you keep it on one particular station, you may hear the same song 3 times in one day.

SP they don't just broadcast games. They have an NFL channel that has talk shows all day long. It's a really good station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to abandoned completely commercialized and overhyped, ridiculously filled with advertisements terrestrial radio for CD quality sound, little or no commercials and contect 100 times better?

So old timers like myself can listen to classics like Audio Two in peace..... The chances that I'd actually get to hear it on local radio are slim and none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have cable, no DTV. I go to half the games and watch the Jets the other weeks anyway so I couldn't see spending the extra money on DTV. Have a lot of connections in my house, so DTV would be much more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
