Should I get Sirius Satellite Radio?

Question

I was thinking of getting Sirius when I get my license in a couple of weeks. My brother already has an account so I can get it monthly for $7. But I was wondering if the Sportster 5 is a good radio to get. So anyone with it can you tell me if you like or if there is a better one to get. Also does it come with every thing I need to put it in my car. Thanks

Answer 1

That is a pretty nice unit!

and yes, it comes with everything to install it in your car. (antenna, cig lighter plug, and dock)

I have 3 XM units, and I love it.  There is not much difference between XM and Sirius.

Answer 2

yes u should get it, its awesome!

Answer 3

I like Sirius.  The fees may change once they merge with XM.

Answer 4

I've had my Sirius for 2 years now (had it pro installed in my car) and I cannot live withouth it...

I have yet to hear a commercial on Sirius... the music stations do not play commercials at all.

I purchased the Sporster which is removable, and I have a system in my office (it's multi use and I can connect my Sirius or iPod to it) so I drive to work then pop in the receiver in my dock and grab it on the way out the door and put it back in my car... I absolutely am a huge fan-- and I was a BIG cynic for a while.. I thought paying for radio was absurd... Now I can't live without it...

Answer 5

I think you should get it... it ROCKS! We love it.  We are able to down load (off the computer)... and (when you call and order), talk to a representative, and they'll tell you about all of the radio receivers available to you.  It is Great, I hope you enjoy it! and Good Luck to you!
