XM Radio? How, Where, how much...

Does anyone have it, is it worth it, Where/how do I get it
Can you have more then one per household and pay only one membership fee?

1. GO WITH SIRIUS INSTEAD!!!!!!

http://www.Sirius.com They have ALL 4 hours of Randi Rhodes, not just one, thanks to XM having to have Ed Schlitz from 3 to 6 PM! Also, isn't XM co-owned by Crap Channel, aka Nazis-R-Us?!

3. No, they're not co-owned by CLear Channel

Big misconception. Clear Channel owns stock in XM (and a tiny portion at that). Besides, nothing's stopping them from picking up stock in Sirius someday.
I like XM, but if I could go back I would have gone with Sirius. America Left chops up AAR programming, and there's no NFL.

2. Look at Sirius

I got both to listen to AAR, but xm only offered America Left while Sirius has a left channel plus AAR. I gave xm to my sister.
You must subscribe and buy your receiver. It's not cheap to get set up but not too bad if you average the cost over your 12 month contract.

6. Another vote for Sirius

Edited on Wed Sep-29-04 10:49 AM by sbj405

If you are into sports,they have a lot of exclusive deals with the leagues. Not to mention AAR and Talk Left.

I got mine at Crutchfield (http://www.crutchfield.com) delivered in 2 days. Install is pretty simple. Subscription is about $12/month, though if prepay for a year it's cheaper. Additional radios on the same account are like $6-7 month. Though they usually have friends and family deals. But with a plug and play unit you can move between the car and house very easily.

Lots of reviews and other good info at www.siriusbackstage.com

7. Thanks everyone for the info

We have three adults in the house ( my mother lives with us) so we'd like to have three units so we can all go our separate ways during the day.
Hubby love sports, I'm only into curling so I don't think the sports angle will do anything for me but he'll love it.
