I've had XM since Dec 2003, moved it into 3 different cars. It was really great when I was in College Station, especially when I was roadtripping a lot to Austin and Dallas. When I live in major metro areas, hasn't really been all that great, but worth the $8/month that I paid. Glad I didn't go for lifetime subscription..is that your lifetime or theirs? Although if they keep broadcasting, that would be a pretty dick move for them to cut off the lifetimers' contracts (although probably legal), but not the people who pay monthly/yearly.

Why does this matter if you listen to talk radio primarily? MLB is why I have XM, and I listen to the MLB channel, ESPN, and Mad Dog Radio 90% of the time.
I agree, the music could sound better, but nothing's going to beat a CD/MP3 player, which everyone has in their car already. Or at home.
It's still light-years ahead of terrestrial radio when it comes to variety, and commercials can suck me. Yes, I have them on my sports stations, but I have 4 primary stations to choose from. Once a commercial comes up, I change channels. Viola.

Hold on, let me turn my iPod to the MLB station/any MLB game/ESPN news/any live sporting event/any live talk radio show/etc.
Wait. That isn't possible.

I can program my radio so every time any of my fav artists or songs is about to come on it alerts me so I can switch over to that station.
but...
If i'm feeling aggro, I can listen to Faction
If i'm feeling chill, I can listen to Coffee house
If i'm feeling metro, I can listen to Area
If I need to catch up on the latest "yo mama" jokes, I can listen to Foxxhole
If I need to rub one out, I can listen to Playboy
If I feel like Phelps, I can listen to The Joint
If the kids are in the car, we listen to Radio Disney or Kids place live
I can get my world news during the morning drive
I have yet to see my iPod touch do that...oh I can use my iPod touch as a flashlight or have it make fart noises...yeah still lame.

There's a lot of possibilities:
1) XM Radio itself could just go bankrupt, leaving the parent company Sirius XM still in the green. For more info, read: http://siriusbuzz.com/
2) DirecTV could buy out shareholders and debt of Sirius XM
3) Ergen buys out the debt but doesn't buy out the shareholders.
4) Bankruptcy
Of course, #1 and #2 are beneficial for us stockholders.
