Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system?

FM quality at best. Sometimes you can here "pumping" when they over-compress the signal.

I agree with Prpixel. I've had XM and Sirius is rental cars. Not sure it will ever be "audiophile" quality, but I'm not looking for that in a radio - especially in the car. But, I must say that there were two things I REALLY liked:

1) NO FREAKING COMMERICALS
2) When I was travelling in the desert there WAS music!

I have a feeling that satellite radio will be growing in popularity now that Howard Stern has signed on.

I have Sirius in my truck, direct connected, factory installed not frequency midulated(FM). It sounds much better than FM. They have a lot of excellent channels and as far as ads the only thing I hear is an occasional announcement of programming for different channels. I would get the Kenwood unit for your home it has an optical output so you could use a better processer if you have one. Let me know if you find a better deal than the $299 list as I'm thinking of getting it also.

Mstram: Is the D/A conversion the issue, or is the data signal compressed (truncated)? Also, do any of the receiver units provide any form of digital outputs?
