[SlimDevices: Radio] Adding Sirius Radio
Hello, I recently bought a Squeezebox and would like to add Sirius Radio. I have only seen Sirius in cars I've rented, and so I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask a few basic questions... I understand there's a monthly subscription fee for Sirius Radio; but is there also hardware I have to get in order to obtain all of the Sirius channels on the Squeezebox? I like the Sirius Interface...how is it displayed on the Squeezebox; or again, is it on a separate device that connects to the Squeezebox. Any step-by-step advice on how to do this, and how well it works (or does not!) would be greatly appreciated!

Don't forget to unplug the clocks! Seriously, the Radio's carbon footprint is nothing compared to mundane things like the dust bunnies on most people's refrigerator coils, walking/cycling instead of car for short trips, etc. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88495 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Power on issue?
After buying a "kill-a-watt" meter I was amazed at the vampire draw in my house when I added it all up (even the washer and dryer have idle draw). Now when we will be away for more than the day I take 2 min. and unplug stuff / turn off power strip switches / turn off wall switches / turn off breakers. When I look at year to year comparison power use it is actually noticeable. Our power company also send power use "report cards" which mainly (anonymously) compares usage among similar houses in the area and lets you know how your use compares to your neighbors and there is a noticeable change there also. -- redrotors redrotors's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47813 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88495 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Yes... and I assume you also unplug your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable/sat box, AVR/amp, microwave oven, etc... when not in use? I agree in not wasting energy where possible, but let's not go overboard. ;) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88495 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
