To say I love my xm radio would be an understatement:)

I've got SIRI, although not hardwired into the car. It's GREAT.

I have a Plug 'n Play model that is usually attached to my receiver in the house. If I'm taking a trip, I have a car kit and move it into the truck. It's great to have uninterrupted music or news that I like.

I do think they need to figure out a better business model however. I'm pissed that to get satellite in various rooms in the house, I have to buy separate receivers and subscriptions (I suppose I could hard wire additional speaker sets to the one unit). They need to figure out a way to stream the signal over a home wireless network.

You're way ahead of me, Oral. I think my son has XM. Do you get Howard Stern on your radio? Not that he has much to offer.

Oral, I've got to get me one of those. Hope they have a station with the old western songs, like
Tumbling Tumble Weed, Strawberry Roan, Streets of Laredo, etc. There were thousands of those old songs that have dropped out of sight, and we can't forget Bob Wills And the Texas Playboys.

I hate paying for what I can get for free. But you are convincing me that it would be a substantial upgrade. It might be worth it. Thank you of r doing that.
