How easy is it
to get Sirius Satellite Radio? I bought the Sportster
Satellite Radio
and 2 extra car kits. I also bought the home kit, so I could carry the
receiver into the house and enjoy music and talk at all times.

The first step to installing, is
to open the annoying plastic packaging, you know the ones, where you end
up cutting your hands on the sharp plastic or the knife you are attempting
to open the package with !

Next, I read the directions…
yeah right, I am a guy so I just starting hooking things up and figured
directions were for lightweights.

Well it was easy, I hooked up the power cord
to an empty cigarette lighter socker, and ran the antenna wire up the
door pillar in my 2005 Ford F-250. I placed the antenna on the roof close
to the door. For best reception it’s suggested to the have antenna on
a flat surface pointing towards the sky. The roof fits the bill, and the
truck is so high, nobody really notices the antenna. (it’s only about
2″ in diameter and about 3/8″ high, so it’s not an eyesore no
matter where you put it)

I then called Sirius and activated my account.
Give a CC and chose your plan. They then ask you for the radio serial
number, and within minutes, the unit is activated and you are receiving
music and talk stations.

After installing Sirius Satellite Radio in all three of my cars, so I could listen to Howard Stern, I soon rediscovered my love for music !

I bought my radio and 2 extra car kits before the Christmas rush and started listening to all the other programming available before Howard started broadcasting. I found over 50 channels of commercial free music which made my hour commute to work a real pleasure. I personall listen to Octane, Classic Vinyl and Classic Rewind, but sometimes I sneak over to Shade 45 or Backspin to get my dose of hip-hop/rap. It’s an addiction and it’s great to be able to pick the music depending on what mood I am in.

Sirius is now offering a free 3 day trial for those of you who are still on the fence. You don’t have to love Howard Stern to get Sirius, there is plenty of other reasons.

I will post a little bit later about the installation in all three of my cars, to provide a little insight into the process and show how easy it really is to get satellite radio.

Take Care,
