XM satellite radio

Does anyone use XM Radio? Is it really worth the hardware and service costs? I'm thinking about getting a tuner I can use in the home and auto. Of course there's the Delphi unit, but I can get this unit from my local Best Buy for $4.99 after the mail-in rebate (comes with car kit, I'll need a home kit as well).

Is that tuner any good? Sony's discontinuing it.

I had an Audi A6 loaner for a day when my TT was getting serviced. It had XM...I couldn't get past the comedy channel. It definitely rocks.

Chris, is that correct? Just $4.99 after mail-in rebate? What's the original price?

List is $150 or so. The original price at BB is $79.99. After a $75 mail-in rebate, it's $4.99.

Thanks, Chris. I should check it out at Best Buy.

Don't be disapointed if they don't have it. Of the two I went to, one had a single one in stock, the other didn't.
