Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system?

Like Gabbro I listen to Sirius that is supplied through my Dish Network. I do enjoy it because where I am at I cannot get any Jazz until evening. I am quite surprised by the sound at times, but that happens when your expectations are not high; obviously not better than my CD player, but enjoyable nontheless. I haven't used my tuner much at all lately. As for Stern's addition, to each there own, if I was chosing to buy, I would go for XM just because of that, and I have voiced my opinion, but that is a whole other matter.

I have XM and like the others here LOVE IT. I'll never be without it in any future car. XM has 2 to 3 times as many subscribers as Sirius. I've always figured that eventually XM will just buy out Sirius. I have no knowledge of this, that's just my guess.

I've had mine for nearly a year and a half. I chose XM over Sirius because at the time Sirius was really struggling with less than 100,000 subscirbers. Now I'm hooked on XM. If I were choosing a new, I'd definately go with XM over Sirius all over again.

XM has 3.2 million subscribers, while Sirius has still fewer than 1,000,000. Stern is going to cost them $100 million a year over 5 years. That seems nuts to me. They need to add a million subscribers just to pay for him. That means that they are counting on ove 10% of Stern's current listeners to subscribe. Very risky.

No commercials?!!

In 15 months Howard is going to have to fill 33% more air time since he runs so many Goddamned commercials on FCC controlled air waves!

For me, I forsee the future of my long drives including both XM or Sirius and an iPod.

100 million...WOW...I hadn't heard that...I only caught the short blurb...I can see where it is risky now...but I still have a feeling that he may be able to pull it off crazy as it seems.
