I enjoy listening to all kinds of stuff on the radio, so I've really enjoyed my XM car radio subscription. I also got XM radio online, so I can listen to most of the stations via the internet when I'm not in the car. However, XM radio online doesn't let you get some things, like the Major League Baseball games, so I ended up buying a MLB.com subscription so that I can listen to those when I'm not in my car. Anyway, if you're a radio fan, you'll probably love XM. In addition to the baseball and other sports programming, there's at least 10 music stations that I listen to regularly, all of the comedy channels are enjoyable, there's plenty of political talk radio, the specialized stations (e.g. for truckers and for medical professionals) are peculiarly interesting to me and I really enjoy the classic radio (shows from radio's golden age) and the public radio exchange, which has programming of the sort that Ira Glass features in his "This American Life" program, except maybe a little bit weirder.

Given how little trouble I have with the satellite receiver in my car, I'd imagine that home- and office-based receivers would give you very reliable reception.

So, all and all, I'm a big XM fan.

Sat Radio is tits. If you don't have it you are missing out.

I love my satellite radio. If you road trip at all it really shines. The only time I had any trouble with reception is while cruising the Blue Ridge Pkwy. The canopy of trees messed with the reception.

We had sirius for awhile, in both our cars but to cut back we cancelled -

So if anyone is interested I have 2 Sirius Car units for sale

One has the Rewind feature

agreed....I bought an xm receiver when it first came out...then went with Sirius later on...

One thing that I despised was some of the channels on sirius (I'm guessing the channels that they consider less-popular)...the signal is compressed even more than normal. So, if you're favorite channels happen to be more obscure (based on sirius' ratings I guess) - the sound could end up being really shi**y as opposed to average.

I've had both...and it seems like XM's sound is a tad better...but I like the programming on siruis better.

Glued to it

You and me too :banghead:

I have XM with Best of Sirius and absolutely love it. Only listen in the car, though. Won't go back to regular radio.

Had it for two years now...never want to go back.

Currently jamming to Lithium station in the kitchen.

Redid my contract yesterday. 5 months for 20 bucks. They also had a year for 90.

Just get Satellite already, Al!

It's amazing. I got one a couple months ago. I'm on the road around 8 hours every day for work so it's completely worth the monthly fee to me. Talk radio is a lot better because it isn't censored and they can talk about whatever. The Howard Stern show is hours of entertainment. Can't wait for the Tiger Woods mistress pageant Wednesday.

I've had Sirius for the past 4 years or so. Haven't listened to off-air radio since. Just take the extra time to do a direct connection into your stereo (ie. aux input or direct FM injection).

I have had Sirius since 2004. Love it, couldn't imagine not having it. I have it both in my car and on my Stiletto. I still listen to Soren Petro but that is it as far as AM Radio.

5 years. Howard and anything else I want music wise. Best investment ever.

I have XM and the I haven't paid full price for almost 2 years. Everytime I call to cancel, they give me a deal. Right now I'm on 6 months for $20.
