Have you heard of Satellite Radio?

[Joshua Clinard]

I've had Sirius Satellite Radio for about three months now, and I really enjoy it. If you have never heard of Sirius, they have 60 commercial free music channels, plus 40 news/talk/sports channels. Sirius has a channel for almost every genre you can think of, including 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, Hot AC, Christian Contemporary, Rap, R&B, New Country, Classic Country, Bluegrass, Classic Rock, Modern Rock, Hard Rock, Alternative, Metal, Soft Rock, Dance, Disco, Regge, Jazz, Broadway, Ambience, Classical, Opera, Praise, and many more.

The day after Thanksgiving they started playing 24-hour Christmas music on channel 100. I love Christmas music, so I have been listening to that stream constantly. I enjoy the 50's, 60's, County, Dance, Alternative, and Classic Rock channels the most. They are really good, and the one thing I like most about the music channels is that they don't have many repeats like regular radio stations do. The no commercial aspect is also appealing. I also enjoy listening to Fox News, Sirius Comedy, C-Span, Bloomberg Radio, Radio Disney, the Right Talk Channel, Sirius Kids, and too many others to mention. Suffice it to say I love the programming! I can't wait to take a road trip with my Sirius Radio.

I have a freind that has XM, the other satellite radio provider, and I have listened to that some too. XM is good, but it has some commercials on about half of it's music channels. It also plays a lot of songs that are not very well known. I like Sirius because they always have a song playing that I know and like. I also hear a lot of new music that I have never heard before, and I like a lot of that too. Satellite radio is WAY better than FM radio, regardless of which one you choose. To see why satellite radio is so much better than traditional radio, you can view this handy-dandy comparison chart. If you have any other questions about Satellite Radio, head to Sirius Backstage, or XMFan.

If you are thinking about getting a satellite radio this holiday season, you should definitely check out this Comparison Chart descibing the features of the various Plug & Play units that are available. My personal recommendation is the AudioVox SRS PNP 2. Audiovox will be releasing a boombox that the SRS will plug into. You can get the SRS2 for 99.99 at Circuit City. You can also order it online. I have the H2A myself, because the SRS was not available when I purchased my setup. I might sell my H2A and get the SRS though, just so I can get the boombox.

No one at all has heard of Satellite Radio?

I've heard of it, I have it at home. Sirus as well. I enjoy it and it's reasonable. It sure beats many others that are out there. Although I still like my Live365.com stations as well.
