Tuner vs Satellite Radio


I always intended to add a tuner to my system and the logical choice seems to be one of the Magnum Dynalab models. However, the recent introduction of satellite radio (Sirius and XM) offer an interesting alternative. Digital quality, no commercials, and a wide array of music to choose from. Then of course, there's the other option of adding digital cable with its music stations playing through my system. Can anyone make an argument for choosing one over the other? Which will deliver the best sound quality?

I recently rode for six hours in a friends car that has satellite radio and it has some very nice jazz channels which I prefer to my Direct TV musice channel selection and has a better selection overall however, there is something that strikes me about that kind of a format where regular radio beats it and that is, everything is so divided up into catagories that there is no 'middle' station. Where are the true alternative channels?

I would sorely miss the college radio station in my area if all I had was some business's idea of what I should be listening to.

The satellite radio has a lot going for it but is no replacment for 'regular' radio yet.
