exactly. but i guess it falls into the categories of paying for bottled water, satellite tv, ect...

does sirius still hold the rights to the nfl?

I have both, XM in the car and Sirius on Dish Network. XM is head and shoulders above Sirius for music. Sirius is WAY too repetitive and the channel selection sucks depending one what you enjoy. As for talk radio, there's nothing on Sirius that sways my opinion either. NFL is nice, but I live in my team's home market so I can listen to and/or watch any game that I really care about.

I listen to OCATNE 20 (Rock/Hardrock) on Sirius at work all day long. I have to say Sirius is way better than my XM I have in my car. They play better rock in my opinion, Also I think Sirius has a better variety.
