I live in Hagerstown, MD and it's really a pain to listen to the radio because I don't get good signal. I go thru mountains so if i'm listening to a song it goes away!! I was thinking about getting satellite radio but i really don't know how much would it be? is it like something i can pay monthly? how much? do i have to have like a special car? or something like that? Thanks for the info you can provide :)

You need a special satellite receiver. It costs about $12 a month A decent receiver is about $100. Some are way cheaper, others are way more expensive. I live in western Virginia. My reception is pretty good overall unless I am driving in a steep valley with mountains blocking the signal. It never lasts for more than a minute or so. The programming is very excellent. I would recommend it for anybody that can afford to spend the extra money.

From what I understand XM was bought out by Sirius and will likely be the same price and offer the same programming now. I had XM for a year (equipment was gift from in-laws) and bought the subscription up front for a discount. The service sucked, and every time I went through a city (Chicago, Detroit, etc) the signal would go out completely. I don't know about the mountains but it may work out OK for you. Unless you spend a lot of time in the car you probably will not ever get your money's worth out of the service.

Wait a year until the 2 companies complete the merger, then get the reciever. You'll get a huge hook up and they will probably start offering satellite TV for your kids in the car.

My sirius radio was quite cheap. I paid the 2 year subscription and it cost about $200 bucks. It was quite a good deal. I recommend it highly. The channels are commercial free and you can find a channel that suits you. Have fun.
