    I just got a Sirius radio and its all hooked up and all, but I thought it would give u cd quality sound, I got the best signal possible, so i guess it won't be cd quality am I right?

    It's really not the best sound. I have XM and sometimes the sound sucks but I love it anyway especially since we have crappy radio stations all around pretty much. 47 Ethel is my favorite. They have a Flannel Friday where they play nothing but Seattle music but they play Pearl Jan pretty often all throughout the week. I also like Squizz 48. Seems like Sirius has been getting lots of hype since Howard signed on.

    I have had my radio running for all day and i dunno why but it all of a sudden cut out, this is a huge pain in the fucking ass since I already mounted the radio to the outside of the house cause thats where i seemed to get the best reception it worked fine all day why would it all of a sudden cut out like that.

    again, this thread was about SIRIUS, not Stern...until 2 of the 15 people who still listen to G & A brought him up. who's REALLY brain-washed here? just like your masters, you can't go 5 seconds without mentioning Stern's name.

    mmm.....have to disagree. the only thing you get with XM that you don't w/ Sirius is the MLB stuff. Sirius get s EVERY other sport including the best of them all......THE N F L!!!!!!!

    plus Howard....(I mean at least if you WANT to listen)


    XM sucks!!!!!

    I had XM free for 3 months with my new car. It was decent but I ended up buying an external receiver to listen to Sirius. It blows away XM.
    thank you

    Since this is a Pearl Jam board.. let's decide to let Pearl Jam plays settle this argument eh?

    Do a search of songs played on both and decide for yourself..

    Sirius: http://siriusbackstage.com/songseek.php
    XM: http://www.xmmonitor.com/played/search

    As for quality.. neither are CD quality and to be honest, both have compressed their streams over the years to add more stations. Sound quality has gotten worse on both systems. I have XM and love it.. but the sound is not CD quality

    Four words... N, F, L and NASCAR. The two biggest sports in the country. XM did such a great job with NASCAR that they are switching to Sirius next year. XM is a great choice. Fox News left Sirius to go to XM and now wants back on Sirius...

    Quick Notes:

    *During the month of May, Sirius' stock price declined only 5 percent to $4.41 while XM's dropped a more precipitous 21.5 percent to $14.69.

    *Only hours after XM announced on May 24 a reduction in its 2006 subscriber guidance, to 8.5 million from 9 million, Sirius put out its own release reaffirming that it will hit its target of more than 6.2 million subscribers at the end of this year. Since then, Sirius' stock has gained 18.8 percent, or more than three times as much as XM's has.

    Also, in a recent study, when asked about satellite radio, the public responded recognizing Sirius and the Sirius Dog Logo about two times more often than XM Radio.

    Admit it...XM is on the DECLINE!!! LOL...Why do you think Greg and Anthony are broadcasting on old fashioned radio???
    He is alive but feels absolutely nothing.
    So is he?
    When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him.
    By nine he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact.
    No tradebacks...
    So this is what it's like to be an adult
    If he only knew now what he knew then...

    I hope MLB goes to Sirius when its contract with XM ends. Maybe it will turn into a VHS/Beta thing where everyone thought Beta would rule but VHS took over.

    I love Sirius but to be fair I have never heard XM. I got Sirius for Stern and Howard 100 is worth the $12.95 a month. The music channels are great. Check out Matt Pinfield plays whatever he wants every other Thursday at 4pm Pacific. Great show!

    ive had both sirius and XM. I have had sirius for 3 years now, and would not go back to XM...though it is great, I think Sirius is better. As for sound quality...they are about the same, and no, it is not perfect, but it is pretty good. I would call it equall to a well used CD
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
