I've been using a Sirius XM satellite radio trial run and must say I'm taken by the service. I've found that I'm increasingly turning away from CBC 690, CKWX 1130 and CKNW 980 to the XM channels Watercolors (all jazz), Bridge and CNN.
So far I haven't had to pay for the service but the free period is running out. The company calls every few days in an attempt to sign me up. So far the best offer has been $38 for six months. I also want the home (Internet) service but that runs an extra $4 a month.
In any case, when the company calls I don't show any enthusiasm for the service. In fact on yesterday's call I noted that I can't make good use of Sirius as the signal drops out in numerous spots on my commute route. I was not expecting the comeback that the company is installing repeaters in the lower mainland. I was skeptical but I've found a report here that there is in fact one already:

Anyone else a fan of satellite radio?
