Sirius/XM radio questions

Yes, if the receiver is portable.

You can port it around to whatever docking station you have. Of course that won't work for fixed vehicle installations. I have 3 subscriptions: one for the truck (in dash), one for my bedroom portable unit, and one for my smartphone.

we had one in our TT it was installed by the factory. - as far as I know all the radios require a separate subscription. you might need a separate antennae.

Not sure what you are using for TV signal in the rv but if it is satellite Sirius/XM is included in many of the Dish packages. Just a thought...

The new TV we just bought has Sirius radio with a free, time-limited subscription. Thinking we might like to keep it after it expires and even add its capabilities to the TT. Questions:

1) Can I just buy a "home kit" and plug it into the AUX port of the TT's entertainment system?
2) Does a single "subscription" entitle you to use it on as many physical radios as you care to use?

I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have on the issue.

Thanks

We have 3 Sirius/XM raidos. Truck came with one and us it all the time. Have a boombox with a raido in the 5er, and one at home. The one in the 5er I use when taking DW's car somewhere with just a car kit with dash antenna.

I wish there were different initials for Tow Vehicle and Television. TV & TV. Sometimes it's a bit confusing.

We use a boom box Sirius for work and camping, then transfer the faceplate to the truck in between

One subscription will only work on one physical radio. If your radio is portable then yes you probably can plug it into your tt system. They now offer a limited number of channels for about 50 bucks a year.

If you get a portable satellite radio, you can move it from vehicle to vehicle and even put it in a portable boombox radio. It will be just one monthly subscription fee, but there are two drawbacks. First, the audio quality isn't as good as a dedicated digital radio because the portable units plug into existing radios in analog mode only. Secondly, if you move from vehicle to vehicle often, moving the satellite radio would be a real pain.

We have 3 subscriptions. One for my truck, one for my wife's car and a third for our home stereo & boombox. The additional subscriptions are less than full price, but still costly. But we enjoy our music and in Montana, there are not as many terrestrial stations and lots of places where there are no radio stations available unless you have satellite radio.

We've got a portable unit that (a) receives the sat signal, then (b) rebroadcasts it to an FM frequency. Leave the portable in the truck, and dial the stereo in the trailer to the correct frequency, and VIOLA... Margaritaville in the desert!

You can also subscribe to XM Internet radio which gives you unlimited use on any device or app that XM radio supports. They say only one app can be running at one time but that's not always true. When your renewal comes up keep telling them you want to cancel service and the deals get better the longer you keep saying no. Bundle the single radio service with the Internet service for your best bargain.
