If you just want to get your feet wet with satellite without spending too much money on it at first, I highly recommend the Sirius One receiver with car kit for $19.99 on sale right now at Circuit City (it shows as $49.99 online but add it to your cart for sale price and then pick up locally). Once in your hands, install it (easy) and go to Sirius.com and activate it. It's $5 cheaper to activate online than by calling it in. That unit doesn't have the best sound quality but like I said, the price is right (right now) for trying it out.
If you know already you're going to want to keep satellite (I HIGHLY recommend Sirius), then go ahead and spend a little bit more for a better quality unit.
I have had the Starmate Replay in my car since December last year and love it. I also bring it inside and listen to it through my stereo a lot. There's a boombox out for it right now and I'm thinking about getting that for inside play.
Anyway, the Sportsters are also nice units and you can buy a boombox for inside for it as well to listen there or you can just listen to it through the stereos in your house.
Check out the various Sirius units in the Sirius shop and then shop around (ebay is the best place to buy these units). Make sure you get your rebate form listed in the auction (if you buy it on ebay) so that you can get some moolah back. BTW, I've done Sirius rebates a couple of times and never had a problem getting them.
A great resource for all things Sirius is the Sirius Backstage forum. Be sure to do a search on your car model to see how others have installed theirs. There are all kinds of ways to customize your installation.
If you choose Sirius, welcome! :thumbsup:
ETA - And no, they do not offer free hardware with new subscriptions anymore.
ETAA - If you're bent on getting just the tuner for your car, it's the SIR-KEN1 model and goes for close to $100 pretty much everywhere I've checked out just now not including the Sirius subscription itself.
