So I have decided to get satellite radio for my truck and maybe a portable unit to go with it. First question I have is if you use satellite radio, which service do you subscribe to, and why? If you get around to it please suggest reciever you like or don’t like… horror stories or glowing recommendations are both welcome! Thanks! ---

Before anyone else mentions the odds of the two merging are 4:10: I will. What are your musical / listening tastes? Have you checked out the programming choices on both company’s websites?
