The only benefit to HD radio is that it displays the artist name and song title of each song as it's playing. Not bad if you don't mind spending $300-$400 for the tuner. I have Sirius too and bought the lifetime membership 2 1/2 years ago when it was only $300. It's a better investment than HD radio IMO.

According to what ive read and heard HD Radio :bs: I listened to a sample of it and it sounds the same as my XM (which should sound the same as Sirius) anyway the only advantage is you get better quality and track names. cons, tuner is mad expensive like 200 bucks if you have an HD radio ready deck. also its the same thing as what is playing on the regular tarestrial station, nothing new. Personally i think its a waste and a soon to fail attempt at competing with Sat. radio

PS: Stern FTL, who doesnt work fridays than takes the entire month of august off.
