Sirrus radior or not
Im not really sure if this belongs here or not, but anyways im comparing two cd players and trying to figure out which one is a better investment. The kenwood MP8017 or the z828...both are pretty much the same in that they can play mp3's off cd-r the one main difference is that the z828 has the new XM/Sirrus radio and i a few other features. The z828 is ~100 bux more then the mp8017. An additional note is that XM radio has a monthly rate of 19.99 or something rather close to that figure...well plz share your opinions. tnx

I'd get the Z828 myself, that player is awesome, I got the 919 when it first came out and now I wish I would have waited for the 828, not only is it MP3 capable, but I believe it supports ID3 tags, and like you said satillite radio, which is optional, not to mention it looks awesome.

Well jsu a note it's either on or the other the kenwood carries cirruss satellite coverage and is $9.99 a month for service plus additional parts. But just like the satellite for TV their are ways to go around paying for the service I have the Alpine with XM service had it for about 7 mnths now and haven't paid yet just do a serch on the web. But go for the 828 but be forwarned now that Kenwood has gone with the mask + detachable they are breaking more I see the returns at CC everyday well not every day but you get my drift.

Well the web site to us is really not there the reason I told you to search is that I have no idea where it is. Now don't think I was misleading there is a chip/card that gets programmed and you take that to someone who pirates the dish cards and they program them. The reason I said look on the web is there is somewhere the directions on how to do this I will try to get it from my guy but the first time he was a little reluctant (I guess job security issues). So sorry it sounded misleading but it is outthere somewhere I just don't know where.
