Finally got XM satellite radio, bought the Delphi tuner and home kit. For someone out in the middle of the southwest desert, this is like getting cable TV for the first time, I love it.
I will echo what the majority who have XM have said, it falls somewhere in-between FM and CD playback. The odd thing to me is, some stations sound far better than others--can't quite figure that one out yet. I'm very surprised that I didn't have to dick with the antenna at all; just set it on top of the entertainment center, pointed it southeast--in come the sations, full strength. Cool. I thought sure I'd have to mount the damn thing outside or something.
Gotta go, I think I hear some Zepplin on.....
