think about it. I’ve read some reviews and stuff on line, but I’m not really sure whether or not the 10 bucks a month is worth it. So who’s got it and whaddya think. Let me know.
I have xmradio and I love it. I primarily listen to Squizz and Ethel. It’s very worth it to me because I hate DJ chatter and morning shows.
The cool thing about the radio is it displays the name of the band and the title of the song. It can’t get much better than that!
I have XM and I love it. I primarily listen to Fred and Ethel. It’s very worth it to me because I also hate DJ chatter and morning shows.
The cool thing for me is that I live in Radio Hell. All the stations here are terrible. They play the same five “new” rock songs from 1996 over and over again.
That, and I haven’t heard a screaming Kia commercial in my car since July, 2002.
I think $10 per month is a fabulous value and if I were starving and had to live in a cardboard box under the freeway, I’d still try to find a way to pay for my XM subscription!
I’ve got it and it’s great! Get it, you won’t be disappointed.
I’ve got Sirius in my car. I could never go back to regular radio.
The content itself is great, but you have to decide if it’s worth it. It will cost you a couple hundred bucks to get it installed and set-up, then the $9.95 a month after that. Estimate how much time in a month you would spend listening to it, and decide from there.
I bought it for my husband for Christmas. He love’s it. He’s a long haul trucker so he uses it about 12 hours a day.
I’ve had XM since they first went nationwide, and I wouldn’t give it up for anything. Well, almost anything. I listen to Fred, XMU, and BPM most of the time. I’ve bought a lot more CD’s based upon the artists on those channels. I’m getting ready to add on the PC controlled XM unit, which is only about 70 bucks, plus the 10 bucks a month.
Doesn’t XM go on your car radio? If it does, why are you living under a cardboard box while you still have a perfectly viable trunk to live in?
They now have XM personal radios and soon clock radios.
XM is an unmitigated good in my life.
Yes, they might be accused of ‘narrowcasting’ but I think that breaks down when you look at the range of information and music you get.
My wife just broke down and asked me to put one in her Jeep. She can’t stand the way her local country channel is so damn jingoistic with the war now.
One more! Everyone should get XM. It’s got the potential to change an entire business paradigm.
