AirTran and satellite radio can you listen during takeoff? For those of you that have flown AirTran before, I see they have built in XM Satellite radio for each seat, does anyone know if you can listen to it during takeoff, or is it after, just like the electronics?

What is the difference between HD radio and satellite radio? I've heard a lot about both on the radio, and I want to know what the difference between them is, (ex: Do you have to subscribe to HD radio when you buy one, or do just have to buy one, and you don't have to buy any subscriptions for it,) what kinds of stations you can get with an HD radio or satellite radio, and, most importantly, how much does an HD radio cost, and how much does a satellite radio cost?

How long do I have Sirius Satellite radio for? I just bought a new car, a 2009 Ford Focus, which came equipped with Sirius Satellite radio.

Will I have to pay a subscription fee after a certain period of time or will I always have it equipped without having to pay for it?

What is the best option for a Bose car stereo? (And about how much $?) Thanks.
How can I eliminate noise from my satellite radio that is in sync with engine RPM? I had an aftermarket unit installed in order to add an auxiliary input into my 2004 Mazda 3. If I connect my MP3 player to it, it sounds fine. However, when I connect a satellite radio, I pick up a lot of background noise that is in sync with the RPM of the engine. How can I eliminate this noise? I had the aux. input installed to create a clean connection between the factory radio & my MP3 player or sat. radio, but now my satellite radio sounds worse rather than better.
Which satellite radio service is the best? I am looking to buy a satellite radio but trying to decide which one to get. My main reason for buying it would be for listening to music and Cubs game at a lake house in Wisconsin (so are there any "blackout" areas with satellite radio?) If there happens to be one that has MLB, good music AND NFL, that would be the best bet. It looks to me like XM is the way to go but looking for more insight - anyone with bad experiences with either? Thanks!

I am just wondering what I need to get it up and running, Thank you! I have a Pioneer deh-p610bt
How do those portable satellite radio players sound in the car? I'm looking into buying a portable Sirrius satellite radio player, the kind that lets you transmit the signal to your radio (e.g. the radio in your car) using an FM modulator. Is there anybody in the San Francisco Bay Area using one of these? If so, do you have any problem with the sound quality? I tried an iPod car adaptor a few years ago that used one of those FM modulator and it didn;t work for me because local radio stations would cut in. I don't want to install the player in the car because I also want to use it in the house, when I travel, etc. Regarding the FM tuning, I'm OK with flipping around to different channels to find one that works. If I'm within the San Francisco city limits, I want to set the channel once and then not worry about it again.

I was worried about it interfering with the airplanes Instruments and if they allow them to be used on the airplane.
Who is the owner of Serius Satellite Radio? There are people who call TV stations on the air and say smutty things before they are cut off. I hear them on C-span. They do it because they know that Howard Stern will play them on Satellite Radio. I don't think that Howard's boss knows about this.

Why is a 'dead' radio frequency needed to listen to satellite radio? To listen to a satellite radio station, you must have your FM radio set to a 'dead' station that isn't actively broadcasting. Why is this? As technology-savvy as the world is, I would think Sirius/Xm could build a receiver that could operate on any frequency and 'kill' the actual radio station's broadcast.

SATELLITE radio??? I've had my Sirius radio for 3 years and all of a sudden I'm getting "Acquiring Signal" and "Antenna Not Detected" messages on the receiver. The radio will not work unless it's one of these constant messages. I took it back to where I originally had it installed (Circuit City) and they confirmed that the antenna was working and for me to buy a new receiver/dock (same style - sp-r1). I did, and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions as to what I do now? Thanks!

Bought new XM Xpress Satellite radio but doesn't have FM transmitter in the menu? I recently bought a XM Xpress satellite radio that advertises that it has a FM transmitter and can be heard on your radio. It clearly states this on the box and the user guide that there is a menu selection for FM transmitter settings. I cannot find it anywhere on the menu. It is missing. I have searched on the internet and found a few others that have the same problem. Is there anyone out there that knows anything about this problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
