Satellite Radio?

Im thinking of purchasing XM radio for my car and I was wondering if anyone here uses it on a regular basis and wether or not you would reccomend it. Thanks.

It sounds awesome, but the cost of entry holds me back. I wish they'd just give me the damn hardware if I signed a contract or something.

If you're after much new music to listen too, I think you'd be better off with Sirius. Sure its a few bucks more than XM, but you have like 60 commercial free music stations, as opposed to only 40 or so on XM. Also the sound quality is much better on Sirius. A rep from Sirius told me that their streams are 98% of full CD audio, whereas XM streams 128k MP3's. Sirius's current system can handle 300 commercial free music stations with no upgrades, and they also have plans to offer streaming video. XM is nowhere those capabilities.

It sounds like a terrific idea, especially if you live in a radio-challenged area, but I just hate monthly fees.
Of course, I have no problem paying way too much for satellite television.
If you spend a good amount of your time listening to the radio, you'll probably enjoy it. I just wonder how many casual listeners are going to take the plunge?

Keep on rolling. It only hurts for a little while.

I will probably make the switch to Satellite radio once I can afford the hardware. I spend almost 4 hour a day in my truck and spend half that time switching stations trying to avoid commercials. I imagine the musical variety will be much better on satellite.
