Does anyone here voluntarily subscribe to Satellite Radio?
If so, which service and what are your feelings about it?

When satellite radio first came out I thought there was no way I'm going to pay $10 a month for something I can get for free.
I bought my wife an XM radio and 2 years subscription for her birthday about 5 years ago. A month later I bought myself an XM radio. A month after that I bought a home kit for work. It's been that long since I've listened to any terrestrial radio.
I now pay $21 (tax included) a month for both of our XM radios and I don't see me going back to regular radio for quite some time.
It's one of those things that when you try it, you're hooked.

I have XM. Its pretty good, but nothing spectactular. I'm considering cancelling. Seems like all I'm paying for is so I dont hear commercials, but even some xm stations have those.

The merger for XM and Sirius was already approved by the stock holders. Both companies are struggling and a merger is really the only way satellite radio can survive.

My sister had XM back when they came out. It was really nice to get a clean signal and more R&B choices in my area. I also rigged it up for recording on the PC and making mp3s, which you really shouldn't do. :p

I have had Sirius for about 6 months, and I could never go back to regular radio.

I've got XM, friend bought a radio cheap and I put it in the GP, then when I bought the G35 it already had the equipment, so I just swapped the radios on the account. It's nice being able to listen to your favorite channel during long drives.
