Ah, but wait...I'm pretty sure satellite radio requires a subscription.

There goes that idea.

And Free Radio requires listening to 20 mins of commercials, yammering
djs and stale playlists. There is a reason people are willing to pay for
the service. Its simply better and worth the $0.40 or so cents a day.

So does satellite tv and you can sometimes get their hardware for free too.
What's your point?

If you don't want to hear the DJ yammer, change the station.

Problem solved.

There is a reason my arm/hand is so highly trained to reach over and
shut OFF commercials on radio and shut OFF commercials on tv.I am faster
than greased owl s... at shutting OFF commercials.

So I guess you make do with 7 channels of tv and maybe a dozen radio
stations. How boring.

My biggest problem with satellite radio is choosing between the 150+
channels when i want to listen to something else.

150 channels and nothin' on...believe me, I've head about this
phenomenon. The first step should just be to cancel your subscription.
If you don't want to listen to all of that crap, you shouldn't be
paying for it. And if you ever decide in the future that you do want to
listen to it, odds are you can get it for less (if not for free) via
the internet. So, that's one fewer check you'll have to write every
month!

OK, forget sat radio for a second. Do you subscribe to cable or satellite
tv?

So, you make due paying a subscription every month for material you
could get over the internet or the airwaves for free? How ignorant.

But don't worry. As podcasting and other cheaper, more efficient, more
reliable, more economically viable and generally superior online
technologies mature, satellite radio will disappear faster than a fart
in a windstorm.

Just don't forget to have that check in the mail by the first of each
month.

No. Really don't care for TV. It's mostly crap, though I appreciate the
fact that cable and satellite would give me access to much larger
quantities of crap.

Every station on Testical radio has all that. It's not that simple.

Not only do you not need to pay a subscription, you no longer need a
satellite receiver. Just download from the internet the shows onto your
Ipod.

Now that XM has two of those three elements, how long do you think it
will be till they go back to 20 minutes of commericals every 30 minutes?

As others have mentioned it requires a subscription, so no free lunch.

Also, my experience with satellite radio is at best mixed when driving
around trees and tall buildings. It pops in and out.

Given the wide variety of programming on free radio I see no reason to
pay for satellite based signals. AFAIK they do not support local news
and traffic so that is a significant minus. T

Wide variety? Where do you live, I'm moving there. Everyplace I've lived in
the past 2 decades has been the same old crap, talk shows on AM (and now
encroaching on FM, too) and your choice of the same old Country/Pop/Rap/Rock
on FM. There's no easy listening, no classical (except in a couple of large
cities), no alternatives to the pablum that corporate radio wants to feed us
(and that includes the Corporation for Public Broadcasting/PBS/NPR). If
you're lucky, you may get live drive time shows, the rest is all satellite
fed with local voice-overs.
