Portable Sirius Satellite Radios
We have a subscription to Sirius and use it in the car. I was looking on the website last night and they have a portable unit that doubles as an MP3 player on sale for half price.
I'm thinking this would be good for the commute.
Does anyone have this and can share positive or negative experiences? Can you listen to live programming? Or do you have to download and save up programming before you listen to it? How is the sound quality? Do you have access to all the channels, or is it like the online service where you get most but not all? How easy is it to activiate? I would imagine that you just have to call Sirius and they activate it, but do I need anything else? How is the antenna reception? I'm inside a bus during my commute - will that interfere with the signal? I am assuming it won't work on the subway.
TIA

Re: Portable Sirius Satellite Radios
I was looking into them a little bit ago - when the first generation came out. I know they just released another generation of them.
The issue I had was with battery life. Depending upon what you were doing, was how long your battery would last. (Local content/Satellite connection/wifi connection) It was a very short amount of time if you actually wanted to connect up to the satellite.
But sorry, no personal experience with one.

Re: Portable Sirius Satellite Radios
They have one that you have to record the content and you can also upload your music to.
they also have one that you can listen to live, on the go, when not hooked into the car or home (of course, when it is hooked in as well) AND you can play your own music files AND you can record sirius content.
