I've got Sirius and I love it.

 

i got it works good(xm)

 

I've had Sirius for almost a year now. Been very happy with it. Never had XM so I can't compare and don't really give a rats a$$ about Stern.

I use one of the portable systems and have a docking station in the truck, on the boat and in the slip.

On a side note, If you are into football, Sirius has the rights for the NFL. XM has the rights for Nascar (but it goes to Sirius in 2007 I believe. Not sure which ones have Baseball and Basketball.

 

Listening to it now. I've got XM. The unit is the Delphi MyFi portable unit. Take it in car, on boat, clip it on my belt at work, and use it at the house. I work about 4 miles from the XM broadcast studios so I get the terrestrial signal everywhere in the office building I'm in. :winker:

I don't miss the commericals and useless drivel of the local DJ's during the commute, can hear all the ball games, get to hear FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, etc to get the latest news. You also have a seemingly endless choice of music stations.

 

XM, it is great.

 

I have it..but haven't subscribed yet....hardware is installed in my boat only...

 

XM here, very nice!

 

Got Sirius just recently. I'm hooked! love it. Now I need one of the portable units for the boat.

 

I have XM and love it, Have a few friends who have had both and they say it is a toss up as to which is better. I made my choice based on price per month. Good Luck :bigsmile:

 

I have Sirius and to be honest I find myself tuning back into the local stations after awhile when I'm in my car..

Don't think there is a huge difference between Sirius and XM.

I'm sure it will be more enjoyable on the boat where all you want is music.

 

29, Veronica still has that Poison cd you guys love, I'll remember the Iron Maidon and others. 80's will never die on my watch :laugher:

 

Sac, No better way to kick of the summer than with a little 80's music, keep those CD's right in the boat.

My Sirius radio has a station called 'Hair Nation', you better believe that will be on all summer long!

 

Wife got me Sirius for Christmas and it's been logged onto the NFL channel ever since. If you're a fan the NFL network is OUTSTANDING!!!

 

80's music??????
What a vacuum for talent in the music industry!

60's and 70's all the way!! :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher: :laugher:

 

It's a joke guys!! :dead:

 

Never had XM so I can't compare and don't really give a rats a$$ about Stern.

Stern IS a rats A$$ :laugher:

 

I also have XM... but only in the car.. Was an easy upgrade. My deck was XM ready... Cost me about 80 bucks in parts and I put it in myself.. What a deal..

250 channels and its leaps and bounds better than standard Radio

Now I just need a different deck in the boat and I will upgrade that as well.. I love it..

Oh and I got the Playboy channel... for a little extra...

I think I pay about 15 bucks a month...

 

Oh and 80's Music ROCKS!!!!

I have gotten all of the Grand Theft Auto Vice City cd's.... and they also match my boat name...lol.. I just tell everyone, yeah they named the cd after my boat..lol

 

It's a joke guys!! :dead:

It is no joke! :bigsmile:

Don't apologize for being right!

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

 

Stern IS a rats A$$ :laugher:

There you go, speaking badly of rats. I will take the rat any day over that wierdo....... :yak: :yak: :yak:

 

I would go with XM, I have it on the boat along with several friends. It makes it nice to have everyone listing to the same thing. The comedy channels are great.

 

Just got XM and bought the marine kit. I made a portable mount with suction cups for the antenna and the box foe the skyfi 2. Makes it easy to take from one boat to another.

 

Excellent feedback. I think I might as well bite the bullet. My BMW deck is "sirius ready" but it looks like I'd need the same gear to make either service work. And that's to the tune of $200 or so if I install it myslef. I guess I better double check that, make sure it woudn't be cheaper to go with Sirius.

Right now I'm leaning towards XM just because they have twice as many listeners. All those people can't be wrong, can they???

 

the only problem I have is trying to figure out what I want to listen to. almost to many options if that is possible.

 

I have XM and am really not happy with them. They just raised the monthly price 30%!! I got XM to listen to NASCAR when on the boat, now NASCAR is switching to Sirius! And of couse the kicker is, all those channels, and the wife has found ONE she likes!!! If I can break her of one channel it would be great though, but still not happy about the 30% price increase!!!
