i used to have Sirius and i loved it. i loved the wide variety of music channels. it had a lot of talk radio choices, like comedy channels, self help channels, news, commentary, but i did not listen to that at all. i originally got it because i am a howard stern fan, but i never listened to him, either. i was so into the music. it had the best hip hop stations – old school, new stuff, it had a heavy metal channel, a disco channel, pop categorized by decade – 70’s, 80’s, current pop. it had classic rock, newer classic rock, alternative rock -you name it. what i did not like about it was in the car i got terrible reception. i googled it and apparently a lot of other people do, too. i even wrote a letter to Sirius but did not get a response (and i sent it to the Chairman of the Board, and i am a stockholder so you would think they would have responded) so i cancelled my contract early and got a small refund.
even though i loved it, i would not recommend it for the car because of the reception problems. i know there are a lot of alternatives available now, anyway, like downloading.
