Is Sirius worth the extra 3 bucks a month?   Bill Howell (Billh13) Member Username: Billh13 Post Number: 102 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:36 pm:    I just got sirius installed today. love it.   Tyler Anderson (Anderstd) New Member Username: Anderstd Post Number: 16 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:48 pm:    I have had some experience with the xm radios. They seem to work really well. Unfortunatly I do not know anything about the sirius. I assume they both work the same way, so my opinion would be wich ever has the best price to channel ratio would be the better choice.   Bill Howell (Billh13) Member Username: Billh13 Post Number: 103 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 10:06 pm:    Tyler how many do you get with xm? I get about 100 60 music 40 talk. I like this so much that the wife may get one. Like to know more about the xm. Also, do you have any problems under trees, in cities, things like that?   Tyler Anderson (Anderstd) New Member Username: Anderstd Post Number: 17 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 10:29 pm:    I get 100 There is the optional playboy channel to make 101 but i really see no reason to have a playboy channel in the car. They always told me to keep both hands on the wheel in drivers ed. I have had issues with heavy cloud cover and once in a longe tunnel but what can one realy expect? They sound similar but i think xm is cheaper monthly. here is the xm link http://www.xmradio.com/programming/full_channel_listing.jsp?sort=number   Tyler Anderson (Anderstd) New Member Username: Anderstd Post Number: 18 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 10:29 pm:    I get 100 There is the optional playboy channel to make 101 but i really see no reason to have a playboy channel in the car.
