  • UNI/SIU on XM Radio



    XM Satellite Radio Network (Channels 196-199)


    I think this is the SIU radio guys. This is the first I have heard of this.

    Is XM and Sirius the same now?
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    Sirius and XM combined a few weeks ago. The formal combining of programming and rolling out of new packages hasn't begun yet. Eventually there will be no "XM" and only Sirius, though your XM receiver should work indefinitely.

      I have a XM unit with a box where you listen inside the house. If anybody is wanting to purchase it I can sell it to you for what I paid $115.00 plus shipping let me know. NEVER USED! I didn't expect to buy it in a charity function.

        Re: UNI/SIU on XM Radio

        I got XM Radio about 5-6 months ago and it is probably the single greatest purcahse I've made. I get a clear feed of ESPN Radio & FoxSports Radio 24 hours. I love baseball and they have the MLB package. Sirus has the NFL package and I don't have that yet. I know they combined and I'm not sure what the end result will be. They have the Big Ten Network and a few other conferences too. If they add the Valley I will be set!

        My receiver was only $60 and it works great. On top of that I believe I pay only $9.99 a month to have it. If you are sick of you Ipod selection, CD's, or just the car radio than I strongly recommend XM. Plus they have Comedy stations, and any type of music. Does Sirus currently have a MVC programming station on their setup?

          NFL play-by-play will be available for XM subscribers on the new 'Best of Sirius' on XM. An extra $4 a month, starting Oct 6.

            That sounds like a nice little gadget! For $4 I can get the Best of Sirius, that sounds like a pretty good deal. Although I am usually plopped on the couch all day Sunday watching the games, it is worth $4 in case one day I have make a trip!

              I have the Inno and it is nice. I do have to say that the reception with only the unit is not great but not bad either. I have not purchased the car unit so usually take the home antenna with me which works fine just a long cord. The battery life is maybe 2hrs so if you are on a long trip in the car would want the car charger.

              Recording songs is nice but I haven't firgured out a way to organize them real well right now to play certain songs that I want to listen to so usually scroll through them. The songs recorded is like recording a song on the radio you will get the talking by DJ at times and sometimes the song is cut a little short. As long as you are on the station when the song starts you can press record at any time to record the whole song.

              It does work as a MP3 player also but the only option you have is to have 100% devoted to songs you record off stations or 50/50 songs record and MP3 songs you put on unit no in between. Also if you discontinue service you can't use it only as MP3 player.

              If you have any questions let me know.

                I have the XpressRC and it's definitely the best purchase I've made in a long time. I love being able to drive from one city to the next and not have to find another station. I can't stand the stations in Dubuque so this is an excellent replacement (just don't tell my friends in radio that). I don't have a receiver in the house but the stations I listen to in my car are available online. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

                  I bought the MyFi in 2005 and like it very much.
