Really BAD First Experience with Sirius Satellite Radio!

[V00DOO]

I have Sirius and it does have some dead spots in Southern Cali. For one thing I can't get signal inside my house. I have to put the antenna outside. I am glad they offer internet radio with the sub.

Oh, so if you went to a fine restaurant and afterwards got food poisoning, you wouldn't proclaim the restaurant as one to avoid? I see, you'd go back the next night because you had so much fun puking and crapping your guts out.

As an unrelated aside, when I was in law school I lived one block from a taqueria that many people feel has the best burritos in the United States - a huge burrito and a basket of chips and salsa was $2.98, tax included! I went there at least 4 days of every week. I got food poisoning there twice, and in once case did, in fact, go back the next day. Hee hee . . .

If you really had food poisoning, you weren't eating the next day.

There are degrees of food poisoning. I've had food poisoning at least ten times in my life and always been able to eat the next day.

Sounds like an equipment problem. I have never had service dropouts with Sirius, regardless of location.

Frankly I think your thread title and commentary are stupid - it's as though you got online with a 486 over a 9600-baud modem, then told all your friends, "the internet SUCKS!" Obviously it isn't your fault you had problems, but it was more than likely not Sirius' problem either.

Picky Picky Picky.

Well, until someone shows me a satellite radio that works all the time as intended, then my opinion stands.

Your opinion is based on ignorance. My satellite radio works all the time as intended, as does most every other one. You are basing your opinion on one bad experience - it's as though your rental car's CD player was broken, and so you proclaimed "CDs SUCK!!!"

What you are saying is that FOOD SUCKS!! I am not gonna eat again so I never get food poisoning.

I prefer to control what I'm listening to and not have to pay a monthly fee.
Satellite Radio=Lame

So, you would rather listen to radio stations that play the same 20 songs every two hours, with 20 minutes of commercials and DJ interruptions every hour? Now THAT is lame.

Sounds like GTaudiophile had a bad or poorly positioned antenna. My Sirius receiver acted just like his until I actually followed the instructions and installed the antenna outside instead of just leaving it on my dashboard.

Apparently, you haven't seen this thread.

Drove from Connecticut to Maryland, passed Baltimore and D.C. and had signal all the way.

On top of that, it wasn't a built in unit, rather one of those Boom box/Car units you suction cup to the windshield/let hang in the car.

Have had sirius for about 2 years now. I make the I-95 trip from through several states a few times a year, and have never lost signal. The only place I lose signal is in tunnels, under toll booths, and once out in the mountains out west.

Satellite radio is at least a thousand times better than regular radio, and is well worth the price if you are in the car for more than 30 minutes a day.

the antenna must have been messed up
i have xm and it works fine

So, what stations do you guys listen to, anyway? I'm hooked on Super Shuffle 12 myself... It's like filling 500 GB iPod with music and leaving it on shuffle mode
