$10 for basic channels, specialty channels are extra, I don't even listen to radio, but who the heck is gonna pay for radio? Sure it can be ultra clear and commericial free, but its still radio.
XM-Radio, $10 a month for Radio, is this a joke?

It's all about perspective I guess. I wouldn't pay $5/month for TV yet some people pay over a hundred.
I've seen XM/sirrus capability on the high-end $300 and up car stereo, but don't see any home recievers with it, so I guess its targeted at the mobile crowd?
I probably would never pay to listen to the radio but I would do that before I paid to watch TV. So many channels and there's still nothing decent to watch.
Radio sucks now. Clear Channel has destroyed it. The only radio I can listen to anymore is our college station which actually plays what they want to play and takes requests.
So $10 a month for quality radio isn't that bad. Especially if you drive a lot.

yes that have playboy radio. i couldent beleive it when i heard about it but its there. i beleive its also on XM's site
I wouldn't mind paying the $10 a month for XM Radio, but the antenna and all that other crap I'd need to buy is just not worth it.
The last review I read of the two was in Car and Driver. They said the quality of Sirius was definately worse than XM.
Wow, someone would have to be pretty damn desperate to get that...
"Vicki enjoys long walks on the beach and sex with men; we're now holding up a naked picture of Vicki, which you cannot see as this is radio."
Depends on how long you drive every day. My brother-in-law has an average of a 1 1/2 - 2 hour commute every day (that's 1 way) so for him it's worth it. The comedy channel alone is enough to keep you from killing the idiot in front of you that just doesn't know how to drive.

Night Calls rules!!! I used to watch it all of the time when my wife let me get the Playboy Channel. Juli and Tiffany give some great sex advice.
I have XM - for Road trips it is great. I did 15 hrs straight from Denver to Phx and it made the trip go a lot faster.
Like someone mentioned, the comedy channel is worth the $10 alone.

not only that, my kids enjoy the disney radio on XM, making trips less stressful. ditto on comedy channels also. I'm glad i took advantage of that $50 coupon last year and another $60 rebate, saved me $235 all in all.
