I have very general questions about satellite radio, any knowledge would be very useful

how much does it cost a month?

how much does the radio cost and where can u buy them?

can u install it in a car with a regular radio already installed ( will the old radio have to be removed?)

does it come in all sizes? (from walkman to boombox?)

how long do we have to sign up for ? if it's a year and they get fired midway do we get a refund?:idontknow it is O and A after all

Not quite....at least not the walkman....yet.

The only walkman news I'm hearing is mostly tied with XM, and it's not set in stone:

For me, I'm waiting until a walkman is released. Mainly beacuse I take public transportation to work, and modding one of the current setups as a "walkman", would almost be impossible, and certainly expensive. I'm not even going into the subscription fees...

That's assuming O&A get a morning drive slot. But even with an afternoon slot, a boombox isn't gonna go over well at work either.

Hopefully they'll roll out before O&A hit the air.
