stevestojan Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I remember seeing a commercial with Elton John walking around with an XM radio "walkman". Anyway know if they make one for Sirius. I can't get to Sirius's website from here (must be all flash). Anyway, anyone know the name of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed though that the new radios are smaller than the one I have in my truck. I believe the walkman is in the works though. No link, I just remember reading it somewhere.

stevestojan Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'm a little confused with this thing... http://www.planetminidisc.com/xs028.html It says "headphones included" but most sites describe is as basically a batter backup or charger.

Otherwise it wouldn't have the antenna attached. Looks a little too bulky to jog with or exercise with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government computers have every block and firewall imaginable but I am listening to it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even get onto Sirius's front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine does that too. If it does that click on the first link at the very bottom of the page. This should open up and maybe you can go from there. On my computer at work I get a "backgroud" and nothing else but the words at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I got the boombox and it is the best option IMO. It is somewhat small. I just put it on a shelf in my office and i use the remote to change stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 What they don't show you in that commercial is the antenna you'd have to wear to get good reception. The XAct power pod you posted the link to, it's built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 NEW YORK and LAS VEGAS, NV – January 6, 2005 - SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) today announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas the introduction of a new digital control unit, called Starbase, which allows any vehicle radio to connect with SIRIUS. Starbase makes it possible for consumers who do not have a satellite-ready radio in their vehicles to connect to SIRIUS when the unit is combined with SIRIUS’ new trunk mounted satellite radio receiver – SiriusConnect – and an antenna. The slim unit allows mounting in single din slots of vehicles, or with Velcro to the car dashboard. It also includes a built-in FM modulator that can connect the unit wirelessly to an existing radio over as many as 100 available channels. "Combined with our new SiriusConnect trunk mounted receiver, Starbase provides a complete end-to-end system for connecting to SIRIUS regardless of what vehicle a consumer drives," said Larry Pesce, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Strategic Planning. "Consumers who do not have satellite radio, but don’t want to change their car radios, now have another option to listen to SIRIUS’ 100-percent commercial-free music, plus news, weather, traffic, entertainment, and the best sports programming in satellite radio." Starbase is currently available at retail locations at a suggested price of $169.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
