^ um, you know that they are close to bankruptcy right?

if you have a legitimate problem, that is one thing.

I know some of the reason for that kind of system is you can listen to it anywhere but I don't see the point in listening to music when it's not at it's best or at least really close to it.

Any idea at all what the installation would cost?
what kind of radio do you have? i have the Starmate 5 and it came with a small FM booster antenna that just plugs into the back. i can have the radio broadcasting on a fully used FM channel and not get any interference, and the sound quality is right up there with the wired setups i've heard

i bet since they are not going bankrupt anymore, that deal was taken away pretty quick.

I just got one, and I didn't call to scam them out of one either. I had a radio in my work truck, but just got a new truck with sirius built in, so I called to cancel the membership on that radio (kept the one in my personal truck), and since I still had 6 months left on the year contract the guy asked if I thought I might use it in my house, so I said I would try it for the rest of the term instead of cancelling.

I also was asking him about the bankruptcy stuff and he said sirius canada is a seperate entity altogether from the US, and although it isn't widely known they are essentially owned by the CBC, so he figured they were financially backed fairly well, so probably not much chance of them going under. Not sure about that, but I guess it's possible.
