I have Sirius and one of the things I've found is the sound quality is somewhere between AM and FM. And that is with a direct connection.

I went with Sirius because I knew the channels, and for NHL and NFL. I've found that I almost never listen to NFL on it- if you are a fan then on Sunday from 11-5 you are most likely watching the games somewhere.

And with Sirius there is a lot of repetition. To the point where it makes CJAY look like they never play the same song twice.

Right now I am looking at dropping Sirius. One issue is with the terrestrial repeater. Living in McKenzie Towne I am on the fringe of its range, and the radio gives preference to the terrestrial signal over the satellite. So it takes my radio about 15 minutes to figure it out; often by then I'm already at my destination.
