Sirius Backseat Video

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am guessing I am one of the few people here with Sirius Backseat Video. Its a great service and comes in handy when going on long rides with the kids.

However I am nervous with the merger and all the changes that the video service will be discontinued in the future, which would suck as it cost me a lot to have two televisions wired into my truck.

Does anyone have any idea what Sirius is going to do with the Video service? I would love to see them add a news channel to the lineup.

Anyone else with SBV?

I've never actually seen that. How's the picture quality??

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The video quality is ok, good enough for the kids, it was better before but a few months ago the compresion seemed to increase so that you can see some blocks in the picture if you look hard enough.

I sm going to wait until Sirius XM starts broadcasting ESPN, Playboy and Howard TV. My kids drive me around while I sit in the backseat.

I'm with yea, but replace the kids with a wife or girlfriend? j/k The wife or girlfriend will probably drive the car to an object.

Oh wow! I didn't know Sirius already have the video up and going now. That's cool! I take it that it have mostly kids shows right?

 

[Grüpsaar]

Only Kids shows, at the moment. Probably will stay that way for now.

I remember seeing a few commercials for the Chrysler minivan with the Sirius Backseat Video. Is there any other way to get it OEM? I think there is an aftermarket receiver.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yeah I got the aftermarket one, it works well.

I do wish the kids could listen to Sirius via the TV, that would make it better.

I was considering buying on for my truck for my little girl. I would have to buy moniters on top of having them installed and the equipment from Sirius. I just figured on buying a $300 DVD player and letting her watch DVDs when we are on a trip, and come out ahead.

I'm a big fan of Backseat TV. I've only used it in testing situations, but I couldnt imagine having a better medium to keep kids entertained. The programming will expand,but more along the lines of family friendly service.
