I've had it for about 8 months and love it!
I was skeptical at first cuz I thought "I don't wanna pay for radio"....let me say it is WORTH IT! Worth not having to hear 40 commercials every hour only to be interupted by the same 5 songs they play on every stupid channel on terrestrial radio. I didn't have it in my car the other day and couldn't stand it. I was really shocked how I've gotten used to having so many channels to choose from. Aside from that, I can listen to any NFL game (which is great if ya don't wanna listen to Kornholer butcher the commentary)

I downloaded the Yahoo Sirius Widget and listen at work on my PC. The widget looks like a real sirius radio with like 40 pre-sets. It's very cool.

Sorry, this sounds like a commercial...lol I was just curious if anyone else has it and what they think

I've had it for over 4 years now. It's awesome.

My girlfriend has it and I borrowed her car for the week I was in Jersey visiting. I absolutely loved having it and find myself missing it now that I am back here in AZ. I might spring for it once I start working again.

I got it on my computer 1st since I'm on it all day for work, then it grew into having to get the radio for the car cuz the commercials kill me.

I loved it when I had it, but my work changed buildings, to a building I could not get reception. So I started downloading Howard Stern and burning his show as a data disk, a week of his shows at a time. I found its actually better like that and don't plan on getting Sirius again, being able to pause rewind and everything works great for Howard. I get to start his show when I want to start hos show.

- All MLB games

- March Madness

Great music channels.

Only downside is no Stern or Shady. But better talk and news radio.
Same here. I love my XM. I'm going to buy the portable one so I can take it everywhere with me. MLB radio is fantastic.

I have XM. Love it.

The uncensored comedy channel is worth the price alone, especially when you drive ouside of local station range.

XM is crap compared to Sirius.

Stern rules.

Nascar is coming to Sirius. I hate nascar but love it for my stock shares.

Someone said they liked XM because of the uncensored comedy station. Ummm Sirius has 3. One of them is the Blue Collar station full of Foxworthy and LArry the Cable guy and many other southern comedians. Funny as hell.

Sirius is fantastic.

NFL, NBA, now Neckcar coming. Raw Dog comedy, two other comedy channels, local PHX weather and traffic, music, talk, Howard Stern, and a ton of other stuff.

I have stock in both sat radio companies, but Sirius owns. XM would be good if I liked baseball, but the MLB has ZERO appeal to me.

I had Sirius in my car and just wasn't impressed.

Over the weekend I put XM in my car.....way better music. That isn't even close. They have a totally awesom selection of Old Skool Punk.....I never heard any Black Flag or UK Subs on Sirius.

Oh yeah...it records something like 40 minutes of music. Didn't think I would ever need that...but if I am rocking out and need to tell my kids to quiet down....I can. Rules!!

It's not baseball season but I am going to love this. I will seriously listen to all the Dodger games....I love Scully that much. I love listening to baseball on radio.

As for the NFL...it's like the same thing with the Sunday Ticket. Why do I need it?? I'm at the stadium 8 games a year....and watching them on the road the rest. The rest of the NFL is not that appealing to me. I'm more of a College Football fan....and XM has the BCS.

I just got the new portable XM Inno for christmas and this thing is amazing. It's a little bigger than an ipod, picks up xm radio anywhere with its built in antenna and has a full color screen plus 1GB memory for storing mp3s.
