FM radio Blows!

[XBiker]

Both my vehicles are XFM ready.

I have considered getting it, but have been putting it off for a while now.

What the service run for ya, Coal ($$) ?

I got XM radio (Sattelite) for all my vehicles and cannot believe how nice it is to hear hours upon hours of music without talk or commercials. Any kind of music you want. Heavy Metal to trance to Comedy stations to Sports. Everytime I ghet into someone elses vehicle I turn the damn radio off because all it is is "talk talk talk talk." FM Blows!

LOL, I read the title of this thread, and was about to suggest you go get some XM. Beat me to it.

I found the site and checked it out.

I listen to the digital channels that are on the cable service that I have.

Great for dinners and when lounging at the house.

I agree.. I now only listen to one FM station that is strictly listener supported which means little to no talk or commercials.
Even streaming on the web

That's only true with the advent of VCD's.

I still see many a laserdisk at certain occasions.

I think it's like 8 bucks every 3 months or so. Chump change and worth the price of me having to turn the damn station dial all the time.

I've been thinking about putting it in my car. But, I always listen to CDs in my car. I dunno.

I was wondering the same thing...

If cloud and other weather conditions cover might affect the reception.

I can listen to the same station from california to New york without any interuption unless in tunnel or pulling into garage. It's CD quality sound also. I love it and am thinking on getting a portable one that should be coming out soon.
