Anyone Have XM Radio?
I have been considering getting XM radio. I have some questions for anyone who has it. Is it worth the fee? Do they carry any progressive talk channels or is it the same crap that Clear Channel runs on regular radio? I know you can get a car kit but can you use it on the road if you travel by air? I travel for business a lot and it would be nice to take it on the road.

1. I have it
Love it. But all the talk is mostly rightwing BS. I listen maily for the music - the cost, after purchasing the unit, is $9.95 a month.

4. I have XM
Bought is purely for the music, not talk radio. The music selection is great. I listen to it constantly, including right now. If you are really into music it is worth the money.

5. XM has better music, Sirius has better talk radio
My husband and I have both, Sirius in his car, XM in mine. I like to listen to music while driving, so I prefer the XM.
