Sirius sucks hairy horse nuts

The two major providers have slightly different technologies, but the principle is the same:

You have satellites that cover the contenintal United States. As long as you have line of site to those satellites you have a signal. For the most part it's either on or off, no static. However in populated areas they have set-up ground repeaters to help with coverage. The areas that these repeaters are in vary by company and so does their effectiveness.

For my commute from Morgan Hill to Sunnyvale, I typically lose signal only once for a brief bit, and that is at the 280/680/101 interchange and the mass of concrete that I have to pass under.

Occasionally I'll lose signal for a moment under other overpasses but not often.

once we are on the highway, no sweat at all. maybe its the specifc channels she listens to have poor broadcasting strength or on a diff sat or somethign.
 
thats because some assholes had to come in and b**** for no other reason that to start s***. rather than ignoring the thread, ignoring me or whatever they came in to say that their pussies hurt for seeing a new thread by me and decided to in their best hypocritical fashion, b**** about me "crying".

unfortunately, some people are so self involved, stupid, arrogant, or whatever may be the case - they cant see how much THEY b**** in just about EVERY thread i make about me "bitching".
 
come on guys can I move the antenna to a better location to get my alternator to output a higher voltage?

All channels with sirius should have the same "strength" but what they do change is the encoding quality to save on bandwidth, so the more popular channels, with richer detail have higher quality sound than say the channels that are just spoken word as they require less "data".

I don't know what to tell you man. Is it an older antenna/tuner? My Sirius works pretty well, Maybe living near the coast is causing some problems?

IIRC my Sirius started giving me some problems as I neared the border on a recent drive to San Diego, and there weren't any trees around anywhere.
 
I'd say take it back to where you bought it..That doesn't make any sense that it's not working. I've never had a problem with mine. I really enjoy it.
 
I have had mine for a year now, I dont have THAT much trouble, it maybe cuts out for 1/10th of a second if I go under somthing, sometimes I can be sitting under a bridge and it works fine, dunno what to tell you

exactly, im not saying that it cuts out for a long time mostly...but more or less its a lot of 1/10ths, so it sounds like a cd scratched or whatever...maybe it just annoys me more than most?

kyle - i got it from crutchfield.

does anyone else listen to the house/trance stations like 62, 66, etc? those are the ones she listens to almost exclusively so thats all the experience i have with it, since im not in her truck normally.
 
satelite hates CF...something about the lame-rays given off that throw off the signal. Apparently it's so bad that CF-poisining can be transfered to partners vehicles just by touch.


I love Sirius radio....I hate XM....now if anyone from XM would like to give ma t-shirt or anytrhing I'd be willing to change my statement. I'm easily bought.

it had nothing specifically to do with alabama, if the person had been from texas or any other state for that matter i would have to as a matter of question wonder what the public schools were teaching since he has a hard time reading.

just as you have embarressed yourself by being the 34890387 person to say something about being a rep for such and such company when i am NOT a rep for ANY company.


I'm not sure how I embarressed myself, but rep or not, you'll always be an asshat in my book. I think that instead of worry about cutting everyone else down that you should work on your "people skills". Making broad generalizations is what pisses everyone off.
 
i wasnt making a broad generalization. i was referring to him and him only by using whatever location he is at and saying that that place must have a poor public education if you cant read. dont read into s*** so damn much.

you embarressed YOURSELF by giving the same bulls*** spiel about sponsor and representation when its been said about 1000 times that i dont have or represent ANYONE.
 
your previous post was such a crock of s***. Now your are telling me, someone from Alabama must I remind you, to "not read into s*** so damn much" insinuating that I read what you wrote, interpretted it literally and threw it back in your face using it against you in your own arguement. Alabama people are a little smarter than you give us credit for.


oh and when you have links to all of your sponsors in your signatures and you are going around setting up group buys etc, it would seem as though you have become a representative of that company. Either way, since you are getting stuff from them for next to nothing and you are trying to help them out with group buys, everyone views you as a representative whether you like it or not. Now that I have explained to you how you are a representative to dgmotorsports as well as a few others, I will now pack my things and go to class. Good-Day
 
thank you, and have a good day.

BTW for at least 4 months i havent had a link in my sig for a "sponsor".

you took it too literally. the two people witht he highest test scores in my BN were both from AL. there are plenty of stupid people to classify them into one state.

thats what we have canada for! (j/k before someone s**** a brick)
