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.
