Has anyone hooked satellite radio to their system?


A long time friend who is into Video who's HT system is budget-fi by our standards (receivers, mass market integrated, etc), bought one those new satellite car radios. He loves it. He just bought an adapter so he can use it in the house. Has anyone tried hooking one of these to their high-end system? What do you think compared to your super tuner?

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
Follow up: Though xm radio ($10/month) may have started out commercial free, they've now started slipping in commercials. On beyond jazz they use a softspoken approach to selling insurance. Even worse than the fan.
Danner, Kind of like PBS television. No commercials they claim, but they advertise their own upcomming programing every half hour and then spend at least 2 minutes before each program telling you all about the company who gave the grant money to make the program and all about its products.
