I'd gladly pay more for the programming IF the offered better quality sound but frankly the quality is barely AM stereo. It's fine for background music but IMHO irritating for intent listening.
Thats suprising to hear .. Ive had sirius for years now and the quality of sound has been excellent.

My issue with Sirius is the heavy digital compression used. i'm not sure this is the case with all stations but it sure is with the Classic Vinyl, 60's, 70's, Elvis, Underground Garage and their Jazz channels.

I plug a Sirius ST5C receiver (below) with the magnetic antenna directly into the aux inputs of my outdoor stereo or the Kenwood head units in my Corvette, boat and truck. It's nice and portable but their heavily compressed audio sound half to less as good as the 256+kbps mp3 and lossless flac files played through the radio's USB port, or when in the states, the HD Radio.

For under $7/mo, our Sirius subscription includes internet and we listen in the office through a dedicated Sirius Internet radio. As I say, it's fine as background but not for intent listening.
