The following testimonials display the loud buzz following the new XM Satellite Radio and DIRECTV Satellite TV conglomeration:

I had grown tired of AM/FM radio. I hated the annoying commercials, the contests/lotteries and the same songs over and over. It got to the point where I did not enjoy listening to the radio. That changed when I got XM in June 2003. I have listened to it every day since. The programming choices are incredible. Also, to hear music on the radio without any commercials is a dream come true! I'm impressed with the shows that get broadcast as well as the excellent DJ's/PD's that are a part of XM.

I knew the clarity would be great where I live because of the open space. However, I was amazed to find that when I traveled throughout downtown Chicago , the reception was still crystal-clear when crammed between the skyscrapers of Michigan Ave as well as all of the underpasses I encountered. Great work XM!

The proof of the pudding as to the superior quality of XM radio lies with a behavioral change in my husband. Prior to getting XM he would opt for the couch and TV and let me go off on my own. Now he insists on joining me and as soon as he slips behind the steering wheel he puts on the XM radio.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU... Since I activated my service two weeks ago I have yet to listen to anything other than the XM format. Unbelievable sound quality, content and selection. No more need to ever buy another CD.

The service is a bargain at twice the price.

Your loyal listener for life.

The quality of the programming is truly incredible! Now, how do I manage to ever get out of my car?

Damn XM. It now makes me want to spend more time in traffic and even take the long way home. Great entertainment but start watching your mileage and fuel consumption go up. It's that good.

I am very impressed with the XM Service. The sound is crystal clear and the bass out of my subwoofers has the windows shaking. The mixture of all types of music is delightful with the sports, weather, talk and comedy. This is tight. It is a must have for music lovers.

XM has made my life easier. Before XM I always had a problem, I could not leave the house in the morning on time because CNBC would release important financial news info that I could not go without. I would just stand there with my car keys in my hand. Now thanks to XM I can leave the house with ease because I can take CNBC with me on the road. XM is the best.
