The signal will have to be very good and the cost will have to be reasonable. The ability to chose a station that caters to one's music style of choice would be a godsend. I'm sick of tuning into a station hoping that they may play something of interest.

I've never liked radio and never will like radio. I like to chose my own music, thank you very much.

I simply long for a better sounding radio.

When manufacturers include the system in car units I might consider paying the fees for the broadcasts,if I have plans for a lot of long distance driving during a year.Otherwise, I'm quite content with the NPR affiliates here in the KC area.

Not for me. Even for use in my car. There's too much outside noise to make any sort of difference. I could live with the static. As far as home use. Never. I'd rather listen to my nephews portable cd player. It'll sound better.

If I traveled lots I might gey some thing for the car. As for home well we have DMX channels on DSS already.

I am far more into home audio.

In an effort to make their label's artists the loudest ones on the dial, record companies are compressing CDs to the point where an MP3 and a pop CD don't sound as different as they used to. If I could get music with a dynamic range over satellite, I'd subscribe. But if they continue sucking all of the life out of recordings, I'll pass.

I WOULD PAY ANYTHING FOR NO DISC JOCKEYS!!!!!!

So.....does that mean the programming will improve? I don't listen to radio!

Have you listened to radio on the morning drive? Commercials every ten minutes, one song an hour!

I have an Eclipse CD unit in my car that I love, so I won't buy a new CD Player/ receiver. Thus, I'd need the external satellite receiver. If the sound quality is still excellent going this route, then I'd probably subscribe.

It's going to have to be really cheap. For most local trips in my home area of Washington, DC and Annapolis, MD, there are a few (but enough) news, alternative rock, and jazz stations to satisfy me. For long trips, I'm more likely to fly, or use my car's CD changer. So, unless satellite radio is a real deal, I can't really see the attraction.

I have DMX at home and it's great!

I work in a grocery store that subscribes to one of these services. The quality is very good but its not the same as a CD. I would rather spend the money that would have been spent on the subscription on CDs instead.

How can you not embrace this technology? DACs are getting better all the time and the gulf between Broadcast FM and CD sources is getting wider. Good riddance to multipath distortions, hello silence! This will help close the gap and, hopefully, give us a better chance to hear new music before we buy. Over one hunderd clear channels . . . what's not to like?

Commercial FM radio has deteriorated to the level that was once AM, and the range isn't enough to follow a traveling man. I would welcome the same commercial-free programing choices I enjoy on my digital cable TV channels.

Waiting for radio . . . er, the man.

The radio?Not with most of the dreck that now pervades it.Fancy digital radio? HaHaHa,no thanks.

I had cable radio when I lived in a remote section of west Texas several years ago. It was far and away superior to local offerings. However, the playlist was not as extensive or varied as I would have liked. Now, with a substantial CD collection, I'd just as soon spend my money on something else, rather than listen to a repetive, monoformat playlist they will likely have. I'd rather buy a new turntable cartridge.

I remember when cable TV hyped great programming without commercials. They're 0 for 2. Why should these hypesters be better than The Cable Guys or PFS (Perfect Sound Forever)? I want my CD & SACD player with 24/192 upsampling -- and HDCD for my car and Discman portable first.

Only if I could receive non-commercial radio, for a flat fee. Would love to get the stations I now get off satellite TV.

I can't wait till this service is available!

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY!

I'm tired of being in a radio no-man's land.

Like to see it incorporated into A/V receivers

I already have 30 channels of digital music coming in over DirecTV, but find that I seldom listen to any of them. I would rather choose what I listen to, otherwise it quickly becomes annoying Muzak.

I would buy a receiver for my home only if the sound quality is competitive with CD.

Hell,it's only 20 bits , sampled at 48kHz. Come on AnalogFm can do a lot better than this. If you have listened to a direct picup live here on the CBC FM network, I feel we are again moving backwards. Why not 24bit/192 Khz? Its now so easy to do! That is my humble opinion!. R. Guy Tr

station content must be more than endless music.
