Why would anyone pay money to get radio that is worse sounding than AM??
Sirius streams radio at 60kbs, for those of you who have alot of mp3 files, that number might make sense to you. Most mp3 files are about 128kbs, decent to listen to, but still not cd quality by far.
I expected waaay more from sirius Not gonna give them a dime after 12 months.

They also setup my account and all that good stuff so I could access it online and renew my membership if I choose too...

I had done this. I looked at my sticker and it does not mention Sirius. I thought ALL Big Horn trucks had it, guess I was wrong. Not a big deal to me, I was only going to use it because it was free..

I got one or two letters asking me to activate my [free] Sirius. But like was stated above, if the antenna is on your rooftop, that's somewhat of a sign you have it....try the mode button on your radio and see if you can switch to SAT...channel 184 will be active if you can.

The best thing about either Sirius or XM is they are not controlled by the FCC which means if you are not a prud, you hear the programming as it was meant to be listened to. Also when was the last time you were able to listen to the radio for an hour without 40% of that time taken up with stupid commercials and lame sounding DJ's?

I just put my old XM roady in last night. I'm getting tired of the Sirius blackouts. THey have decent programming, but their coverage isn't near what XM has around here. Most big tree's and ALL overpasses cause a 5 second blackout.
