The sound quality isn't as good as CD's but there are some stations I got hooked on, like the old radio programs etc. Anyway, I thought it was a good idea.
+1, I did the same thing, thought it was the best deal

XM, and basically all of satellite radio, is a rip-off period. The quality on most stations is cassette tape at best. With the updated ability to use bluetooth audio and the nice iPod control I gave up on XM well before my trial ended. I'd gladly pay whatever fees if the programming were good and the quality was at least CD.

Now I'd like to just sign up for the XM weather and traffic, but the price for that seems way too high. Last I checked it was around $20 for the two. Seriously?

Where is the HD radio BTW.... another oversight.

Satellite radio is not cassette quality, its digital, so its MP3 quality.

I was interested in XM Stocks. However I can not find the ticker symbol for something as elementary as the Dow Jones Average so I will pass on this one. Another bug is that the scroll on the first page does not work most of the time ??? I can not get to the rest of the stock list.
