Did a search, but was overwhelmed with all of the red "the"s to find a definitive answer.
I am currently a Sirius listener (I purchased a used vehicle with a couple of months left on the previous subscription!). This is my introduction to satellite radio, and let me say I am "Sirius"ly underwhelmed... sorry for the pun. Like a lot of other posters, I would rather just put my iPod on shuffle. Unfortunately, there are no connection options with my factory radio that I find adequate, so satellite seemed like a viable second choice over cd's and fm radio. Wrong.
Where's the "CD quality audio" I've heard touted? I don't hear it.
All that aside- my real qualm is with the DJ's. I'd prefer that there simply weren't any, but that's apparently too much to expect from commercial-free radio. What REALLY irks me is when they drone on over the song intros. I find myself yelling "SHUT UP" out loud in the car. Is this practice prevalent on XM? If not, I'll become an instant convert. If its more of the same I'll simply let the subscription lapse and wait for an aftermarket iPod hookup that works to my satisfaction...
Thanks-
Jimmy
