Anyone else have XM radio?
I just got it yesterday. I must say it kicks butt! The clarity is amazing. I was really surprised on well it works. I even get the signal under freeway over passes. I was comparing one channel that's on XM that is also on regular FM, the sound is like night and day.

I don't have it.
I did read a review a couple of days ago about it vs Sirrius (sp?). The thing I liked about Sirrius was that they carried three stations of NPR programming, plus they either had no commercials, or fewer commercials, than XM.
Of course, the cost is ~ $2 or $3 per month higher, and the cost of the original equipment is double the price for XM equipment.
But it is good to hear about a real person who has XM (or Sirrius), I'm glad you like it. My commute is ~ 20 minutes, so I can live with CDs and NPR (I rarely listen to commercial radio stations). If I had a longer commute, though, I would seriously consider one of the two.
