XM Radio Question - 8/30/2007 9:19:27 PM    Verno Posts: 230 Joined: 7/10/2007 Status: offline Does XM radio produce a clearer sound output, better than regular radio stations ? Say like, comperable to like what HDTV does for viewing. Was thinking about a purchace if this would be the case. Or is this just for commercial free listening ? Post #: 1

Around where I live, XM cuts in and out WAY more than Sirrius ever did... But that could just be where our city is compared to the XM sattelite system... _____________________________ (in reply to hillbillyinOhio) Post #: 4

I have had it for 4 years now and am still happy with them, I drove a Honda that had XM and was very sad, ended up just listening to FM while I had it.. But ya, the sound quality is better, you can especially tell in the lows.. alot cleaner, not as much distortion.  (in reply to Mr Blazer LT) Post #: 9
