SIRIUS Satellite Radio Most Wanted

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

You may have heard of the merger of SIRIUS Radio and XM. Interestingly, while the merger will bring many benefits to the company (mostly in combined production costs and additional programming) there are no immediate plans to combine the two satellite networks. Both systems will continue to function, which means, one, the SIRIUS/XM company has a lock on its market, and two, that Satellite Radio is now offering even more selection to its users. What are some of the channels you can expect if you sign up for SIRIUS? Are they comparable or superior to terrestrial radio?

Consider a list of SIRIUS Satellite Radio channels. There are over 130 channel streams on SIRIUS alone. You can listen to all the latest music from your favorite artists with mainstream channels like SIRIUS Hits 1 as well as The Pulse, which features the best of the 1990s and 2000’s. If you have a preference for the Golden Age of music then you can opt to listen to SIRIUS Gold, hits from the 1950s all the way to the 1960s with 60s Vibrations, the 1970s with Totally 70s, and 1980s with the Big 80s. The system of SIRIUS allows for many more niche channels than ordinary radio. Therefore, don’t be surprised to find entire channels devoted to the art of one popular musician, whether it be Elvis Pressley, Jimmy Buffet, The Grateful Dead or Bruce Springsteen.

There are also multiple sub-genres of rock to look through, such as Classic Rock, Glam Metal, Jam Bands, Garage Rock, Indie Rock, Hip-Hop, Heavy Metal, Reggae and Eclectic/Freeform. There is also a variety of country styles, from Classic Country to Bluegrass, and Electronic/Dance music, including Disco, Chill Out music and Trance. If you have more soulful tastes then you can’t go wrong with Contemporary Christian and Gospel channels, not to mention Jazz, classical music and international music found at channels like Universo Latino, Rock Velours and Energie2, the best global charts hits.

What about radio entertainment? If you are looking for news, commentary or comedy then you can tune into the SIRIUS network. SIRIUS leads the way in radio entertainment, most notably in their acquisition of comedian-shock jock Howard Stern. Stern has two channels, one of which broadcasts his live morning show and then ends with reruns. His second channel features a delayed replay of the morning broadcast along with Howard’s friends Bubba the Love Sponge Show and Scott Ferrall. There is also a talk channel with SIRIUS Stars and E! Entertainment Radio for celebrity gossip. Special interest channels include SIRIUS OutQ for gay and lesbian talk radio, Cosmo Radio for women, Martha Stewart Living Radio and Doctor Radio for health and medical information.

The Road Dog Trucking channel will provide trucking entertainment, while Maxim Radio and Playboy Radio spice things up with hot talk. (Remember some adult channels require listeners to “opt-in”) There are four comedy channels to giggle at, including Blue Collar Comedy, Raw Dog, Laugh Break and The Foxxhole, which is comedian and actor Jamie Foxx’s own channel. There are also dozens of channels covering sports, news, religion and traffic and weather.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio offers some of the most prolific programming in any medium.

Enjoy Simplicity and Style with the SIRIUS InV2 Satellite Radio

Friday, April 4th, 2008

The satellite radio revolution is here and you’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon with all of your friends and family but you don’t have a champagne budget. Worry no more with the SIRIUS InV2 radio you can enjoy over 120 channels of satellite radio with style and affordability.

Hands down the most attractive feature of this radio is the price. Do not be fooled by the small price-tag. This radio holds a powerful punch and looks great in any vehicle. This radio has a classic design in black with an orange-yellow digital read-out. The easy push-button navigation is a must for quick channel surfing.

The InV2 comes complete with a dash mount, cigarette lighter adapter, magnetic antenna, antenna cover, FM extender antenna, suction cups, alcohol swabs, and cable guides. SIRIUS makes sure you have everything you need to make the installation of your radio go smoothly. Professional installation is recommended for all in-vehicle satellite radios. These radios require a wired connection to your existing connection. Good satellite signal and antenna positioning are important to getting excellent reception.

The SIRIUS InV2 may be setup for wireless connection to a FM frequency on your vehicle’s radio. If you choose to use this setup the FM Extender Antenna should be attached to the InV2. After the antenna is attached both the InV2 and the vehicle’s radio will be set to a FM Frequency. While this connection will work with your vehicle’s radio for the best listening experience a wired connection is preferred.

An important control to learn is the FM Presets Button. This button allows you to preset FM frequencies and allows the user to select between those frequencies. In large cities you will find that there will be different frequencies that may be better in one location than another.

The use of the InV2’s controls is very similar to your standard vehicle radio. There is a large digital display which shows the SIRIUS channel you are on and displays information about the program that you have playing. This satellite radio allows you to view display information in different formats, you can select between channel name, artist name, song title, and category name to display.

The channel UP/DOWN buttons are similar to the tuner buttons found on a standard radio. As are the preset buttons to store your favorite channels. This radio comes with a setup menu which allows you to change FM presets, brightness, contrast, and parental controls to lock channels. Navigation through the menu is simple using the channel UP/DOWN buttons and the Select button showing the SIRIUS dog icon.

If you are a newcomer to satellite radio you will be surprised at the difference in quality of audio. Digital audio produces a clean sound. After listening to SIRIUS radio you may find that you cannot listen to radio the same way again.
