I can also get access to alot of different stations that aren't available here in Canada, from sports to news/talk. Since I had it installed I have had many friends/family get it. I also got the home kit and use it indoors frequently.

Invasion of the Radio Disney and 20 on 20 listeners happens to me too. The younger kid likes Disney and XM Kids, the older, 20 on 20. I've had mine a couple of years now and absolutely love it. So much of my time is spent in the car, it keeps me sane. It has something for my every mood. No more commercials and obnoxious DJs reading magazine articles to me on my drive to work. I don't have to watch the news, I can listen to it on my way home. I bought the boombox to carry with me to the office, in the house, poolside at the hotel, etc. The only thing I would change are the obnoxious taped greetings from listeners on the Christmas channels. I'm paid up for the next three years if that tells you anything.

Be on the lookout for some upcoming deals. I read something today about XM starting a Dads and Grads promotion to consist of a rebate on hardware.
