Has anyone hooked satellite radio to their system?

The future is digital, just in the same way FM blew AM and the fact that we don't use Edison Cylinders anymore...

Sugarbrie, Are you asking about music via our satellite dishes (DSS or Dishnetwork) or are you referring to XFM? I took your question, when mentioning adapters, to mean the XFM type systems that go from car to home. If that IS what you mean, I am also interested in the responses. If you mean the Music via satellite services (Dishnetwork), I can say the programming choices are very good, and the sound via a Pass Labs D1 D/A converter is outstanding. Best Regards, Aaron

I have the sony xm receiver with adaptors for car and in house. The antenna has to go out a window since it needs a clean line to the satellite. In the car I never noticed that the unit has a fan in it. As soon as I set it up inside, I couldn't believe the fan noise - low level but definately audible. Haven't used it since. (the sound is fine)

psyschicanimal: funny, but where i live, the am band is just as crowded as fm. moreover, an am station is the highest rated in our market by arbitron. so, what's this about fm blowing am? where do you get your news? and do you REALLY think enough people are gonna' shell out $10.00/month or more to get "commercial-free" or "better-sounding" radio to make it a sucess? i sure as hell don't. "the future is digital"= "perfect sound forever." give us a break and quit spoutin' unadorned propaganda. -cfb
