Sirius radio

I recently subscribed to Sirius satelite radio and found a great channel that plays a bunch of Jimmy songs. You can get anywhere from a 3-7 day free trial at Sirius.com. Have heard Jimmy doing promos for it on Sirius. The vacation channel, #97 , is the one to tune into. Enjoy!

We were going to get Sirius mainly for the NFL. But with the season almost over, thinking about going to XM since they are less per month.

Checkout the free trial subscription - I think you'll like it.

Seriously - Sirius is the way to go. Have you ever heard Jimmy plug XM? Just take advantage of the free trail and listen.

Sure.. If you don't mind having to wear a backpack to carry the portable radio. XM just came out with the first truly portable Satellite Radio. Rumor has it that Sirius is nearly a year away from releasing their version. XM might not have that beachy channel but the technology is pretty far ahead of sirius.

I just picked up XM this weekend. I wish they had the vacation channel, but I went with XM for the NASCAR station.

Well crap!! I'm torn now. I was kinda leaning toward XM, but that Vacation station from Sirrius really sounds tempting. I love listening to music like that. NEED MORE INPUT!

XM has about twice the amount of channels to choose from and, although they may not have a "Vacation" channel per se, XM's "The Joint" is all reggae and caribbean all the time. There's about six channels on XM playing Buffett/Reggae on a regular basis. Not to mention five different Blues channels, some Jazz, Latin, etc...Enough great music to get away in your mind without needing a dedicated "Vacation" channel.

I've got the Dish network and the vacation channel comes in on channel 6097. I tune in everyday. Great stuff. They play some of Jimmy's deep cuts along with favorites. Add in some Bellifonte and Marley with a rum and coke. Your on vacation.

XM Rocks!! Just select JB as a selected artist and It will beep every time a buffett song comes on. Mines beeps alot!! and they have O&A!!!

Sirius has 5 stations that broadcast carribean/reggae music. They also just signed a deal with the NCAA to broadcast all the men's tournament games.

I am biased cause I have XM. But I am sure Sirius is fine as well. Sat. Radio is the future. Both beat FM/AM hands down. Either way you go, I am sure you will be happy. I have 3 subs to XM and may get a 4th. Who knows, when Howard comes starts, i'll add one sub to Sirius. Sat radio rocks! So many choices!

Pardon my ignorance, but who are OPIE and ANTHONY? Sounds like I'm missing something I need to listen to.

they're Howard Stern wannabes
