    I spend 95% of my time listening to the noise of the truck.

    no FM on, CB squelch up, (only hear close people).

    boring,you say?

    hasn't been.

    my mind keeps me entertained, I guess.

    If for some reason you are without your radio or your receiver you can download the sirius app for free. There is even a free trial so you don't have to pay to listen to it. Also on the app is "On Demand". You can listen to all kinds of shows and concerts whenever you want.

    Buy the radio now and don't subscribe untill you install it in the truck. Unless you are going to use it in your car for awhile or have a house docking station for it.

    And with my stilleto I can record show just like a DVR! I can even listen to a previously recorded show while recording the current one. That means No Commercials.

    Sports recorded also, and with the remote, I can forward fast past commercials!

    I also load up on raw dog comedy channel each day.

    If you are in an area that has terrestrial progressive radio I recommend the Stephanie Miller show. Very funny political show.

    Just remember if you have a limited data plan, streaming will eat it up!
