Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system?

Holy s*%t!! That's some serious dinero. Why not try something priced a little more down to earth instead of the stratosphere. If the sound could truly be "CD quality" it might be worth the money, but I'd rather test the water with a unit say in the $1000 range. If the sound really is superb and if I could feed a digital stream to my Levinson 360s it might be a different story.

XM is not just like iTunes. The music channels are just like a regular station only the music is better. The channels are set by category/genre. There are NO COMMERCIALS. There is a DJ who comes on every hour or so to tell you what he/she just played and, occasionally, he/she will tell you where the artist you just heard could be seen live in concert that evening. There are not a lot of interuptions. You get 99% music on the music channels. You can even send an email or phone an 800 number to each seperate channel to request a song. I'm sure the audio quality is better than streaming itunes. If you are curious click on the URL I posted on one of my earlier message.

I am using Sirius at home (just started) and the selection is terrific. However, I am not impressed having to use a stereo mini-jack to rca outputs to connect to my receiver!
The sound is very compressed and is FM quality at best.
When does anyone think Home AVR's will have satellite tuners built in? I think that would help the quality of the sound vs using those funky adaptors. Who here wants to get a feed from a headphone minijack???

I use Sirius in my car and love it. Course, its no better than FM, since my head unit does not have line-ins, but at 75 mph, I'd be hard pressed to hear the difference. If they had a decent quality home unit with line-outs, I'd probably sell my FM tuner and buy it ASAP. But not $4k, that's for sure.
