I like XM and I have no sound quality issues like some have complained about?? Only if I can get through to the lucky rep to use the ZWINBACK code to renew at $77. I am 0 for 3 right now and was told I need to wait until 8/1/06 to renew .

I dislike the frequent program changes. I have three receivers and can only get two of them on the family plan. I received a credit card statement the other day for $175+...called XM to question the charge, they explained that they put all 3 receivers on a single cycle billing and it was renewal for the next 6 months. I mentioned that all 3 receivers were activated at different time of the year, and wanted to know why the renewals were not pro-rated for unused months on two of the receivers. The customer service couldn't provide an answer. I of course gave the customer service rep a lecture of why XM will ultimately loose all of their customers to Sirius.

In addition to the above comments audio levels are not consistant.

I like it alot...found my favorite channels and since I'm on the road quite a bit, like the ability to just listen to my favorite stations without them fading in and out. I don't mind the price.

I like it a lot. Have it in both cars and a Polk component receiver in the house. Only problem I have is the sound level of XM in the C6 is lower than the other audio sources.

XM is OK. Don't dislike but find myself going to commercial stations or CD's when there's nothing on I want to hear. Don't think I'll renew.

It's ok, gives a break from regular radio, and for $77, I feel it's worth having the option.

I like satellite radio. I might like Sirius batter than XM but all I have is XM so I won't know if I'd pefer Sirius until I can experience Sirius.

XM needs to improve it's programing, but I listen to it most of the time.
