Donny, I've got XM in both wife's car and my SUV. Been enjoying it for the last 3 years. I keep thinking I'm going to cancel, not because I'm dissatisfied, but because I find myself using my iPod more than XM. But I can't seem to give up Ch 73 that features music The Great American Songbook. Much of the time it's hosted by Jonathan Schwartz, listening to him is an education itself. There's dozens and dozens of other great stations as well.

Donny I've had sirius for over 3 years now and I wouldn't be without it. It has stations for every decade, Siriusly Sinatra, Radio Margaritaville, an Elvis station, great comedy stations, all the news and sports you'd ever want and trafic and weather for all the major cities. I absolutely love it.

Good luck with it,

Joe

The newest thing to come down the pipe is a thing called HD Radio. High Definition Radio is a "FREE" service, the only requirement being you have to get a radio that is capable of receiving the HD Radio signal. I'm not sure if the service is available back East yet or not. >> You can always move to California if it isn't.

Best,
Mike

Personally, I never liked the sound of sattellite radio when I heard it in people's cars. As a Direct TV subscriber, i used to get the XM music channels, which sounded good. But when listening through the actual XM radios in a car, it always sounds to me like an mp3 encoded at about 96 KBPS. That grainy texture in the lows, bubbly texture in the highs, type of sound. I wish they could use a bit more bandwidth or something.
