Satellite Radio Forum

Last night I did some additional experimentation with FM Modulators and settings for optimum sound quality. Here is what I found, plus some general information that may be helpful:

1. If at all possible, set the SkyFi for the highest possible line-level output and turn down the gain (volume) on your modulator to compensate. This will sound much better than any other combination which achieves the same overall modulation levels.

2. Set the volume to ...

Sony Electronics announced today its enhanced line of plug-and-play XM Satellite Radio receivers, the first line of these receivers that can be enjoyed in both the car and at home. The receiver's unique two-piece design allows listeners to transfer the main unit between multiple locations without having to disconnect cables. Sony's new line-up offers a re-designed antenna and LCD display, a direct channel selection through a new remote control, and 20 preset station tuning capabilities. ...

Is there a way to hack the XM radio receiver so you don't have to pay the annoying monthly fee? You know like the way people hack their Direct TV recievers.

Any information is appreciated. Thank you!

A couple of days ago, I noticed that the "rewind" type feature on my Skyfi2 wasn't working properly. I attempted to rewind a song and it displayed the correct (previous) song title, but after a second I heard a "beep" and the display went back to the live music.

Is this something to do with the merger that's making this service not work, or something wrong with the radio? It was working fine prior to ...

Hi just bought a Roadie on ebay packaged is sealed and clearly says SA1075 top left corner but the underside of the actual roadie says SA1077.

Hi,

I am planning to buy a Worldspace satellite radio receiver. What are the models available in India? Anyone bought this recently? I don't see Worldspace receivers on display in many electronics stores in Bangalore, but Tatasky is everywhere!

Thanks

I want to use my Sirius SV1C at home as well as in my car. How would i power it and run it through my stereo and speakers? Thanks

I am new to the Sirius family; I had an XM that came with a Honda I once owned but that was a long time ago. I purchased a Stiletto 100 for the portability. I plan on using it in my car and on my motorcycle. The question is, can the vehicle kit be direct wired into a radio through an auxiliary port? Do I have to turn off the FM transmitter or will it ...

Hi guys,

Sorry for the somewhat strange thread. I have had a Sportster 5 for about 6 months. Honestly I love Sirius, I would struggle to ever go back to normal radio.

I have one problem that has recently surfaced. I use the included Suction Cup to mount my Sportster on my front windshield. This has worked great until recently. It keeps just falling off by itself. I am thinking this is due to the ...
