Generally, broadcast radio has been deteriorationg for years - especially where I live in Western NC...I plan to renew my XM subscription when it expires. I will also be adding it to my home system.

The wide selection of stations and stations dedicated to specific types of music is a plus. Driving mountain roads where the southern oriented satellite gets blocked, and XM cuts out is a minus. I got it for $77/yr. which is OK. $142/yr is not.

Yes, I like it. My wife and I love channels 5 and 78, I guess that dates us. When I talked to them about delaying my start-up till I take my car out of storage, they were very easy to work with. No problem's with them so far.

Have had XM in the car AND house for a few years now. MY favorite would have to be Ch 202 Opie and Anthony (UNcensored)

I like XM. No commercials. I have Sirius in my truck though and like it better. I like the channel types better. It is all good as long as I don't have to listen to commercials and idiot DJ's.

I have five subscriptions to XM. I know it doesn't sound as good as a CD, but I only notice that for a few seconds after switching from a CD. I like the music choices and I like their sports offerings as I am an ACC college basketball and football fan.

I like it. Good 60s and current as well. Some people will complain about anything. I've even read threads about how dissappointed they are with the performance of their Vette.. Go figure.

Just the opposite here. I have Sirius in my Jag and get nothing but drop-outs in several areas around town (including my garage). My XM works everywhere here.

I've always liked my Bose system. But as I posted above, there has to be complainers out there to balance things out I guess.

I have never had XM before, and I am warming to the idea. The radio stations here in Eastern NC are somewhat "lacking."

I love my XM. Local radio here in Milwaukee leaves a lot to be desired. I actually find myself listening to the comedy stations most of the time.
