who uses xm or sirius radio?

i think i am going to get one as i am too lazy to burn CDs for my car.

any models anyone would recommend or suggest i stay away from?

all i really care to listen to is metal, punk, and trance.

I had xm for a few months, it was alright...they had one good punk station not sure about the metal station being anything special.
It was great for my trip down south....listening to Leafs games while cruising the Keys was cool.

but I ripped it all out and bought an Ipod instead...still have all the gear

I had a rental car thaht had OEM Sirrius sat radio. It was awesome. I didnt listen to a cd or my mp3 player for the whole week. I just hate the add-on aftermarket units. It doesn't matter where they are mounted, it just looks ugly and in most cases, you still control it without your cars headunit. If it was an option from the factroty, I would definately get it.

Pro- hundreds of good channels
Con- looks like a$$

i have serius and i love the trance stuff they have, they also have great comedy channels. really good for long drives lots of selectiong to keep you awake.

no hassle of burning CDs look for music online.

one prob with sat radio is that in the city you might have a hard time getting a clean freq, they do sell these devices that directly hook it up with the deck on a set freq and then you dont have to worry about finding clean feq.

i would probably have a wire connecting to the deck, not a FM tuner.

bruce i used to have xm radio, and ran it through my deck. quality is way better than the fm hookups...

very good music selection.... and sports coverage.

JP and I had the same unit's and he's right. Using the FM modulater isn't as good.

I stopped my subscription a few months ago. I had mine for almost 3 years. It was great at the time, but the novelty of it wore off with me and I rarely used it.

Like JP, I will probably get an IPOD or use an mp3 player instead.

i have xm and i love it!

sirius and xm merged so i dont know what that does for the channels. I never used to get raptor games because the NBA was affliated with Sirius but now..i get them U get all NHL and MLB games because they are with XM
