Title: XM Or Sirus???
Post by: 79charger on July 10, 2011, 06:33:12 PM

I am  tired of the IPOD deal trying to mess with that while cruising , I was thinking about going Satelite .... But was concerned with reception in the Parker Strip  . Anyone have issues or advice before I spend the money ???
Thanks

i have had both and now have sirus for the past 2 years and love it. reception is good every where, also i have the boom box so i can take the receiver out of my car and listen when camping or whatever.... they are the same now but, i dont know what that really means.

 I bought the $400 lifetime plan about 6 years ago.  Had xm first now sirius. I have a cradle for my 56, boat, titan and boom box....and you dont need a radio to plug it in, just a amp but you can run RF or into your radios aux. One unit does it all.....

FYI, you can call sirius/xm and ask for the 5/25 deal.  5 months for $25.

save some cash, especially if you only using the sat radio during the summer months at the river.
