I've been noticing more commercials for sirius & x satellite radio-curiosly there selling point is they are commercial free but the feel the need to utilize commercials to promote. Anyhoo, do any of y'all have satellite radio? Personally I would never own it b/c it's bad enough I have to pay for decent TV & if we all cave in on satellite radio before you know it a decent radio station won't be free anymore either. Please share y'alls thoughts.

My husband has satellite radio in his truck because it came in the package when he bought it. It really is nice because there are not any commercials. There are about 250 channels That range from hits list to country music to childrens music to sports and tv shows. It has a wide range of stations for most any interest, even comedy. We love it. Because when there is nothing on the radio, you have lots of options.

Hey jbb316,
Do you still have to pay a monthly fee? I have a friend that got sirius when it first came out & it is pretty cool,the only thing that bothered me about it was that $12 per month fee & it's probably gone up cause that was years ago.
I just hope it doesn't get too popular b/c next thing you know we'll have to pay a monthly bill for decent radio just like we have to pay for cable each month for decent TV.

Honestly, some may call me cheap but I like the fact that I can turn on the dial in the car and get FREE music. Yeah, I can't rewind it, yeah there are lots and lots of commercials, yeah not all the songs are my favourites but dude, it's F-R-E-E! lol!
I think the idea of satellite radio that you have to pay for is just stupid and only people whoa re foolish with money would pay for somethig that we can get freely.
I am worried though that eventually everyone will go to satellite radio which means then we will have no choice but to pay for it. That's the time I guess I'll just go to my cds.
