So I hit it and bam, what do you know? I get XM radio.

I just wanted to get more information on it, like how long the satellite radio will last (since I know XM or Sirius are subscription based), how much it costs (or whatever), and whether or not it really matters. I listen to my own music, so I have CDs in the car and I'll probably get an AUX IN cable to listen to my MP3 player.

It would be nice if the satellite radio stations would grow up out of their adolescent habits and nix the endless use of the "F" word and the constant explicit sexual references. I don't even listen to the SAT because its nothing but endless swearing and porn.

This isn't how the majority of America talks every moment of the day. Maybe your dumb Okeys from Mystokey do but not the majority of the American people...

Me liek dey tekno moozik. Tekno moozik da bomb.
It's hard to find good comedians in general, and well, pop music is abhorrent to my ears. I'm usually finding good music in good alternative.
I agree, I can't even understand how people listen to this crap about how a black dude thinks this black girl is sexy. Just say "hey you're sexy" instead of "DAMN GIRL LOOK AT DEM HUGE@$$ HIPS" or some other crap nonsense.

I agree that you can hear the "F" word and explicit sexual references on satellite radio. Saying that satellite radio is only that is, at best, an uninformed statement. Channels that broadcast sports and political talk radio, national and international news, NPR, classical music, rock, blues, opera and country western are all available alternatives to the things to which you object.

Oh BTW, if you're planning to insult a whole group of people, at least have the good grace to try to spell the words correctly - it's "Okie from Muskogee".

Huge Opie and Anthony fan here. I also like Ron and Fez on 202. I think it's the only reason I subscribe! I actually don't have XM in my car, but have found a way around it.... I pull up XM Online on my phone, hook it into the AUX port, and listen away! It doesn't have very good quality over the phone's internet connection, but it's just talk radio.

Which is the begining of the end of Satellite radio.... soon we'll have the internet in our cars (if you don't already) and we'll just be streaming off the net via Shoutcast or whatever...

It will be the end of Satellite radio and the beginning of wide band internet. Then the ISP's will grab that money. Whatever route technology takes, we pay for it regardless. So there's not much substance in saying that satellite radio is ending when we're still using CD's anyway...

Whatever...I stand by what I say about the "F" word on SAT radio...I don't care if it is just a minor number of channels that does it...bottom line is that it isn't necessary to be broadcasting filth over the airwaves every other word...and if it is necessary for anyone then that person must not have much going in life...

Humm... What channels are you listening to? I mostly tune in the Alternative or classic rock stations and rarely hear this stuff? On the other hand, it's a pay service like cable and this stuff is said from time to time. I hear it mostly in some of the songs that are played, but that's the same as if I had the mp3 or a CD, so I'm not sure what stations you listen too (perhaps switch off the porn channel and listen to a music channel). ;-)

Regardless, if you don't like the language change the channel. I'm so sick of folks who bitch about language.
