Default RE: Satellite Radio

ORIGINAL: wglindsay

I have XM radio thru my ZUMO Garmine GPS. I have had XM for years and it is about $14 a month for the first unit and $7 for each additional. I also am a big NFL fan, but have been satisfied with the XM so I stayed with it in both the car and bike. The merger should take place sometime in the next 12 months, as early as Dec 08. The research I have completed stated they will combine all channels, eliminating duplicates for the same price. Then I will have the NFL in 09.

Good luck with your decision.
How does that work? Are the receiver and tuner built in to the Zumo? Do you need any other controller? Where did you mount your antenna?

Man that's a lot of ???? !

Thanks in advance!

To all ! According to the newspapers, since the XM/Sirius merger or take over.....Rumoris that they will come out with a new atechnology radio in the near future....Requiring all to buy this new radio for reception....So it sounds like all existing radios will be defunct!....I decided to hold off buying the HK XM till some times goes past...to see what gives?

Part of the merger agreement was that all equipment will continue to work as is. They will come out with duel band radios that will get both but your radio you have now will continue to work. Also the price will not change unless you go to the upgraded service which would be Xm/Sirius combined.

The antenna for the Zumo is the receiver. Thats why it's fairly expensive as far as antennas go.
