Finally got checked out!
Thx op!

how hard is it to install the antenna?

"Freegroundship1" just worked fine for me.

It works, I just ordered, you just need to proceed to the final screen to see the shipping discount applied.

Can't get the FW link to work. Anyone have any ideas or did I lose out on the deal??

Thanks!

You might be better off than those of us that got the free shipping. I just really noticed the wording in the offer and it says "Get the $30 prepaid subscription card at no cost WHEN YOU PAY FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING. I wonder if they will refuse to give us the $30 card based on this?

Oh well, thanks OP for the info. Maybe I will order another one and pay shipping just for the heck of it. Knowing Sirius and their billing system/customer service, it won't be a problem.

Thanks again.

Oh, I paid for Shipping and Handling, I just paid $.01!

So if you pay the $.01, there are no more fees if one cancels? I just don't want to be trapped into a subscription.

I have had only minimal experience with satellite radio, but still wondering why anyone would pay for this service. I am willing to check it out further if I can get it basically for free...

For music, Satellite is a big "ehhh". The quality of the sound is SO compressed that it's not that great to listen to, and an iPOD is a better choice. However, for the news, sports, and talk radio (stern/bubba/etc) there is NOTHING like it, and the monthly fee is well worth the price of admission. The music and no commercials on the music channels (talk/sports/news still have them in limited form) is the bonus.

XM sound is a little more "alive" (Sirius is WAY flat due to seriously agressive compression), but Sirius has much better selection of programming.

iPod is a better choice over Satellite? Your ipod is just as compressed! And as for the compression, Sirius does give higher priority to more popular stations, so while the Big 80's sounds generally like crap, Octane still sounds great. Neither can match the dynamic range of a CD however...

I have XM (well, now both after this deal ), I used to be in the 'why would you pay for this' boat, but it's worth it for me just for the MLB. Then, throw in the comedy/entertainment channels in addition to the music, and the fact you can get a good deal with customer service (I'm on $4/month for the MLB season w/ XM for now) and it's great.
