ok im thinking about getting sirius..(havent had the disposable income and i miss listening to the show)..this question has a couple of parts;
*how will sirius know if your home reciever is at a home or business? (businesses have to pay like 10 dollars more a month)
*im going to get a starmate and i will use it at work, home and in my car..will this be 1 payment of 12.95 per month or 12.95 for one and 6.99 for the other two?
*is that starmate cube looking stereo out yet?..the site says february,but its march..is sirius usually like this when releasing stereos?
*do i need a different stereo for my house and my work or can i just bring it back and forth?
these probably arent worded that well because i just woke up..but please just answer them the best you can...im new to the whole sirius thing and i need info as ill be buying it all through the sirius site and dont want to buy what i dont need..thanks... |

<i>*how will sirius know if your home reciever is at a home or business? (businesses have to pay like 10 dollars more a month)</i>
If you are only using it on your desk at work, you don't have to pay the business fee.
<i>*im going to get a starmate and i will use it at work, home and in my car..will this be 1 payment of 12.95 per month or 12.95 for one and 6.99 for the other two?</i>
The signal is sent to the receiver. One subscription per receiver. You can take the receiver with you in the car, to work and at home (if you buy the home kit).
<I>*is that starmate cube looking stereo out yet?..the site says february,but its march..is sirius usually like this when releasing stereos?</i>
It's not out yet. Yes, dates are always being pushed back.
<i>*do i need a different stereo for my house and my work or can i just bring it back and forth?</i>
I'm assuming you mean "receiver" not stereo. If you have one plug n play/portable receiver that's all you need. |

| The Starmate Replay receiver is by far the best option for you. |

They don't, just use your home address.

You can use the same PnP Sirius radio at home/work/office by moving it around. So you'll pay just $12.95/month. If you decide to get a second radio, then you'll pay an additional $6.99/month.

No. Not released.

No, you just bring it back and forth.

Yes, it will plug into your home stereo and the small antenna will go on your windowsill.
It comes with everything you need for the car. You'll have to buy a home kit.
You'll have to bring the home antenna and adapter with you to work unless you wait for the boombox. |

| The Sirius radio has a built-in FM transmitter. You'll tune your stereo to an unused channel frequency, then set the Sirius radio to transmit on that frequency. Then you'll be able to listen on any stereo. |

| Or you can buy 2 home kits (one for work, one for home). |

| It's a lot easier than you are expecting. Just buy the Starmate and a home kit. You'll see. |

yea i think im just over reacting ill just buy the reciever and wing it...im usually kinda good at figuring that stuff out...

It will work anywhere as long as you can get a signal. You'll have to have the antenna with you and it will need to be in a windowsill facing the satellite (towards MN approx.).
Do you have a window near your desk at work? |

This is so true! I wish people weren't so afraid.
If you have an FM radio (any FM radio) already, and you have a Sirius receiver (Starmate for you), then all you'll ever need is a power supply, an antenna and a semi-clear view to the sky.
There plenty of complicated things you can do beyond this to make things more convenient, but this is all you NEED to listen. Start with the setup previously discussed here and go from there. You're going to love it! |

I have nothing to add to this thread but I find it interesting that you own a drive through convenience strore. I have never seen one of them but that is a damn good idea. |
