Was thinking of getting it for my SUV.......?

Hey Donnie-

I've had both...

I used to have Sirius and switched over to XM about a year ago or so.

They are rather comparable, IMO...I preferred the sports/talk programming that XM offered, which is the only reason I switched.

Also, XM and Sirius have merged and will be doing business going forward as XM...

I'd encourage you to purchase the XM product to ensure you don't have any compatability issues down the road.

I have XM in my car, my office and my bedroom...Its pretty addicting and well worth the $20/mo. I pay for it...

Bill ......I just read about the merger & thanx for the review.....when is this merger going to take place? I love NFL football starting soon, baseball & Howard stern & comic shows, talk, besides the music...so if they merge whats the difference down the road?I thought it was less like $12.95 per month?

The merger has been "in the works" for several months, I don't know of an official merge date or anything...

I based my recommendation on the hunch that if you went with XM, you won't be left out in the lurch down the road equipment wise.

I think the fees have gone up...I was paying $17.52 a month, then it increased to 19.94 to be able to have two different receivers on my account.

Sirius' website offers a monthly fee for a single unit at $12.95...add $6.99 for additional units...

Ok that makes sense Bill for 2 units....my friend take his car unit in the house....dual purpose?

Yeah, I move my car unit inside to my office quite often. I bought a home docking station so I could run it through my office stereo...

The one upstairs in my bedroom never moves...it also has its own docking station.

BTW, all satellite radios that you self install come with a antenna...They need to have a fairly clear shot at the southwest sky for optimal reception.

Thanx Bill ....I'll just buy it and have them install it no prob....Im a klutz at that stuff & dont have the patience for it..... if I get aggravated I'll chuck it in the crapper

THAT I could handle...It wasn't that tough, lol...

This recording thing is crazy, though...

Have fun-

Hey Donny...
If the crapper should ever aggravate you, where would you chuck it?
Eddie
