XM and Sirius are both good products. I also have XM and I have a friend who really likes his Sirius.

I pay the price because I like no commercials while in the car. Ihate being on the road and in some place where there are few channels to listen too, and they all have commercials or are nto playing anything I like. I know this is what most people buy CD's for. But for the cost of 1/2 a CD a month you get the whole complete play list of the station, with multiple fields or genres, and you also get sports and talk radio and even weather for metro areas.

I listen to Squizz most of the time, what is your favorite channel?

I don't like the idea of paying for radio services but it is becoming like television...the free stuff just sucks for the most part. There were two solid rock station up here (northern MN) and one changed to 80's crap rock and the other to country (now we have 347 of those...great!). Moronic DJ's and horribly repetitive playlists (even on the good stations)...I'm either no longer listening or paying for it when I can finance it!

Radio blows.

I would like to have the satellite radio but at the moment it doesn't fit in the budget. I can't stand all of the commercials or a station playing the same damned song every hour.

~ Invisible airwaves, crackle with life, bright antenna, glisten with the energy ~
~ Emotional feedback, on timeless wavelengths, bearing a gift beyond price, almost free ... ~



Soon, everyone will have an I-pod, and be able to connect that to their autos.

Not crazy about satellite, to be honest.

The no-commercials part is cool, but satellite radio has other things that irritate me. The dropouts are irritating, and...I haven't been that crazy about the content. One or two channels that I like, and a bunch of stations that play one or two instersting songs an hour and a whole lot of dreck in between.

The last time I listened was on an airplane, and the news stations were just piping in the audio portion from their television show....commercials and all. Boring! Nothing like listening to the radio and hearing a reporter say "As you see to my left..."

It's not bad...but I didn't hear anything that inspired me to pay for yet another device that wants to lock me down in to a contract.
