Finding The Right Radio

SIRIUS XM for Beginners

SiriusXM Satellite Radio is a service that provides a wide variety of programming for everybody. Music, sports, talk, news and traffic are all featured on SiriusXM with various genres from each category. A good way to picture satellite radio is like a cable television but instead of watching the subscription on your television, you can listen to the subscription on your home or car stereo. 

Installing SiriusXM radio is very easy to do but first you need a satellite radio tuner, or more simply, radio. While there are several different types of radios, for the most part they all provide the same service. There are three types of satellite radio tuners. Sirius radios, XM radios, and SiriusXM radios. There are still a few minor differences between a Sirius and XM branded radio though. For example, even though an XM radio might fit on a Sirius radio dock or vice versa they are incompatible with each other and one won’t play on the others equipment. Subscriptions are another minor difference with each radio having its own separate system for subscriptions. Different programming packages at different price points are offered for Sirius and XM radios. This also leads into the third minor difference between the two which is the programing.

Since Sirius and XM merged, most of the channels are the same between the two services (see here for comparison guide). At this point, there are very few differences between the stations you get on Sirius and the stations you get on XM. 
Here are some of the radios to choose from. Most of them include a vehicle kit so you can start listening right away.

After you have chosen and received your satellite radio you are ready for installation. Each radio comes with the bare minimum of what you need to install. The instructions included with each radio also give detailed and specific instructions for self-installation.

Once everything is installed and your radio is powered up you need to set up your subscription. The quickest and easiest way is to do it online as you can enter exactly the information needed and you won’t have to wait on hold!
