XM's channel 14 = Bluegr*** Jct is the best thing I've ever heard on radio of any kind. No chit chat and some very obscure 'gr*** plus the best New Gr*** music. Now please discuss the various equipment options. Personally, I don't want anything that looks new to be visable. I also want to patronize a HAMBer's business if possible. Car audio guys, step up here. chili
64Belaire, do you listen to O&A byany chance? The "cackeling slit" comment is a dead giveaway. I agree though, sirius is the betamax of satellite radio. That company is hemoraging cash at an astounding rate, they have 2 or 3 gay channels (not that there's anything wrong with that), the "portable" units are gigantic compared to XM's stuff, Stern is old and done, too many DJ's. XM has a surf show on fridays on 53 and another one on saturday on 6, a very good rockabilly show on fridays on 5, outlaw country, their DJ's know when to shut-up, O&A, america right, online listening is free. My only peeves are to much friggin sports!!! They dropped the heavy metal channel (speed and death metal), special X (general wierd and disturbing music), and on the rocks (lounge music) for the dumb jocks. I'd gladly get rid of the sports to bring back those three.
here is what i have in my car: XM's Most Advanced Display The Delphi XM SKYFi® is a portable XM Radio receiver that allows any existing car or home stereo to receive XM Satellite Radio's digital channels of amazing radio programming, coast-to-coast. Combined with a Home Adaptor Kit, Vehicle Adaptor Kit, or the SKYFi® Audio System, a SKYFi® receiver allows you to enjoy XM In the Home, On the Road, or On the Go!Easy to add to any car or home stereo system with home or vehicle adaptor kits (sold separately).Advanced display shows the artist, song ***le, XM channel, and category at a glance.Five-line display lets you see what's playing on other XM channels before you switch.Direct channel entry and 20 channel presets.Large display is easy to read - even from across the room!Compact, sleek unit goes virtually anywhere. I like the last part (Compact,sleek unit goes wirualy anywhere. Glove box, trunk, and that's just a few places. ) Get to the show and pull it all out. It takes a few seconds to set back up
"Hoo Hoo Hoo,.. Tell'em Fred" Ha!, Guys "hee haww hell" the show is called,its all Rockabilly/pyschobilly. its on Channel 53 M-F Starting at 6:00PM eastern everyday. As far as antennas on older cars, they are very easy to hide, they have a new micro antenna out that it smaller then a Quarter.
It's just a magnet that you can place on the out side of your car. like i said five seconds and it's gone. and then when you ready to go place it back on your car connect it to the reciever and power it up and your rockin....
The antennas are now tiny, and forgiving for placement and good reception. On my driver(not that this would help on a rod, but show you how forgiving they are)I hid the antenna inside the third brake light housing on the rear package tray. It shoots thru the plastis housing, and the tinted rear window. You can experiment with the antenna in different places before you commit to mounting it, but it does not have to be totally exposed to work well
Sir, i salute you..........More than likely Stern's contract will end up bankrupting Sirius before it's up.....Stern's show is absolutely awful for the past few years now and anybody that pays for this garbage deserves garbage.....O&A is just a better show and has been even before they were thrown off because of the St. Pat's thing....The big Pat Battle begins January O&A PARTY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RoadRat Eddie, Yes indeed you are correct! Ron and fez should be good too but they need a better time slot, i wont be able to listen becuase we have the 60's on 6 playing at the shop... And yes the Nuclear inter-continental Pat Battle WILL commence!!!
am i the only one who ever thought Stern was never funny? his comedy is lackluster and plays to the andrew dice clay crowd, to me anyways. if you ever catch him on tv his show is always just some freak show. which i guess if youre into freaks, its wonderful. Stern strikes me as the creepy uncle who used to stare at your sister after a few beers. juvenile male-based humor has its place, and i did love the "Man Show", but damn, how many times can you ask to see a gals knockers? Especially when everybody knows she has them because they can rent her ****os anytime. just plain dumb. after review it sounds like XM has the stuff. if i can ever get myself to pay for something i used to get for free somewheres maybe ill jump in.
I was digging around and found this: XM Satellite Radio offers a discount on select satellite radio services. To order, go to http://xmradio.com/friends and enter access code Kevin.Green@xmradio.com. To learn more about XM Satellite Radio, go to www.xmradio.com/learn/index.jsp. I hope it works for you. if not we might have to strike a deal to get them.
Have had XM for a year now and haven't listened to or missed commercial radio one iota.... Happy Birthday Jimmy!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the record I think Howard's show is great and I will get Sirius just for it. If one third of Howard's audience signs up then sirius it will blow XM away for the number of subscribers. I also love Nascar. I used to watch each race, now I can work in the garage and not feel as though I am missing something.
I was a die hard stern Listner since the first day he came to LA 10 + years and used to catch his channel 9 show, on sattelite TV at a friends house....Well I got XM and will never ever consider paying Sirius to listen to Stern so he can tell me how great he is again..And Stern is also bringing commercials along with him. Just think Sirius must make 220 million dollars for the next 7 years just to pay Stern. Besides Artie Lange will be departing Stern soon. Howard proved also today on his radio show what a hypocrite he is by hiring bubba the love sponge someone in the past he has said he knows nothing about, just that he is a Stern rip off....Howards done....
stern's been on his way out for some time... people are not in a large hurry to listen to a stuffy white boy fluff himself every ten minutes on the radio. hell good luck payin that douchbag all that cash... opie and anthony FLOPPED on XM as a premium service.
i love my sirius, i have it in my van and it is great. i preset about 10 stations and man, the tough part is im constantly flipping through, because every song/station i like......haha.
