This is the dirty little secret of the satellite radio industry: what
they're broadcasting sounds like crap.
I was actually shocked at how bad Sirius sounds "over the air"; I
expected it to sound better than the crappy WMA stream you hear
online, but in fact it sounds pretty close to that. Probably fine for
listening in your car (or via a Sirius boombox), but I can't imagine
listening to it on my stereo and being happy for long with the sound.
I'm also impressed (not) with the way that the signal disappears when
you go under an overpass, into a parking garage, &c. My rental car
company has hooked me up with a couple of cars that had satellite
radios, and I don't think I'll be buying into this revolutionary
technology any time soon :)
