I have satellite in my car, and would love to have it in the house,
Do any of you have it in your house? The one in my car is permanently there - it was built into the car. So I would buy a radio specifically for indoor use. What I'm wondering is how much trouble there is to getting the signal - does the radio have to be connected to the antenna at all times - stuff like that.
I :love: having it in the car.
What system do you use, out of curiosity!
We have Sirius Satellite in the car - both cars. I love it as I can always get ESPN radio, CNN, and my favorite - Classical music - unless we go through the car wash of one of those tunnels on the Penn Tpike.
I have it as part of my DirecTV package; have never had a stand-alone one. For your house you'd need some sort of satellite receiver/antenna.
Have you looked at http://www.iheart.com/ ?
I do not think they offer the direct satelite content, but you should be able to find what you are looking for there.
We also use DirectTV and have access to many of the satelite radio stations through that. We leave a country channel on for the pups when we are out and about. :)
We, also, have Direct - and I have used the radio stations at times.
In the car, there is Sirius, which is what I want to get for the house. I get in the car, and there are my favorite stations, lined up in a row. I go from Classical Pops, to CNN, to ESPN depending on my mood at the time.
The radio stations we get around here - very difficult to get a good Classical music station; one fairly good sports station, and no decent news station.
So I was wondering if anyone on the board had satellite radio - separate from satellite TV - and does it work well? Is the antenna feature hard to use?
Thanks for this link. That works while I'm on the computer :)Quote:

There is a app for this on most smartphone platforms, just be sure you are on a wifi network first. Its a bandwidth hog and would get you in bill trouble fast. :) I use it on my iPhone all the time.Quote:

OR you could just get a big booming speaker set for your computer. :)
You give me credit for having too many fancy devices :D I have a cell phone that I use to make the rare call - that's all. We don't text, take pictures, none of that stuff . . . . :)Quote:
