that's sad[/b]

Dunno why you said that.. The increase in stock price from howard saying he was going to sirus turned many people into millionaires.. and the price is only going to go up as it develops

I think she meant that the only reason why someone would get commercial free radio is to listen to howard stern is sad.

I thought XM and Siruis were the same price now?[/b]

XM:
9.99 mo/ $8 mo prepaid for two years
9.99 for activation online
9.99 mo for internet music
$2 a mo for mailed statement
$50 equipment charge for PCR equipment

Sirius:
12.95 mo/ $10 mo prepaid for one year
$5 activation
interent music is free


the clincher will be the cost of the tuner.

dude, the stock has only gone up like 50 cents???? if you owned like $800,000 of sirius stock you were a millionaire already.

i don't even listen to stern anymore since i don't have a commute plus i got tired of his show just being him whining about clear channel and the FCC.

stern can suck my balls!!

I used to listent o him waay back when I had my fileclerk job at first usa in Dallas (something like 96 or 98 and i used to like it then, to my knowledge his show doesnt air in Houston, other than on VH1 and that sucks anyhow.

I have given thought to get satellite radio but my commute is less than a mile and I dont really do much that involves driving anyways.
still it would be nice radio in houston sucks IMO

I have XM because I have an Alpine radio...I would think about moving to Sirius if they had better head units...I really haven't seen anything that I like yet. Any way I learn more and more to ESPN radio and really don't care about stren...let me know when he does something new. Naked girls on the radio...wow thats great just what I need...shit a LEAST let me look at them and then maybe I'd switch.

There is a direct plug in tuner for the Alpine decks for Sirius. Sirius makes it and it is distributed through Directed electronics. Sirius is $12.99 a month and XM is $9.99 a month. If you want Opie and Anthony for XM, it is an additional $2.99 a month per reciever if I remember right. Playboy is also $2.99 a month and is ghey as hell. I had a Sirius setup in my shop at work for a while and I was really impresssed with their channel lineup. When Sirius came out, I hated their lineup and that is why I went with XM. I still do like XM and have no plans of changing, but if I could do it again, I might go with Sirius.

i basically went xm because their xm commander fit were my ashtray was so nicely. i also figured since they have a lot more subscribers than sirius they might have a better chance of staying in business.

wait so what about the Pioneer decks that are XM ready? is that complete bullshit now or what? cause if I dont have to buy a seperate tuner, then i'd consider getting XM for my hour long commute to and from work.
