    I've been tempted to check into XM radio lately.

    I have a long commute, so I want to put it in my car.

    Can anyone fill me in? Is it good? How's the programming?

    What are the costs to have it installed in my car? What's the subscription price?

    I know I can look at the site, but I know it's a sales tool, and I want true answers.

    Hmm... nobody helped me! Boohoo, etc.

    I went out on a limb and picked up the XM radio.

    It's great... I'm very, very pleased.

    I dunno... I've been pretty happy... what's better about Sirius?
    I heard Sirius is better for sports... but I only follow soccer, and nothing in America is good for that.

    If anyone wants a sirius radio, I think I can get you the equipment for free ($99 value). You still have to pay for the programming, of course.

    How much will the programming be per month? I may be interested!

    $9.99. There are multi-year deals that can make it even cheaper... up to 5 years, I believe. I didn't do that, as I wanted to check it out first.

    It's been a couple weeks, and I'm still very happy with my choice. It makes my long commute so easy.
