Is It Really Worth It?


On my way to work I can't help but sing along to Rick Springfield's 'Jessie's Girl', it was playing on my satellite radio and I can't wait to see what song will come up next.

I got my satellite radio as a gift about 4 years ago and didn't quite understand the whole concept of it. At first I was a little unimpressed that I got a new electronic gadget for my car...woo hoo.
I honestly had never heard of satellite radio before, I had no clue of what it meant or even how to work it. After doing a little research and discovering that there was a monthly fee associated with it, I almost threw the towel in. I decided to give it a try, one because it was a gift and two because it was commercial free.

After the installation, which my very handy boyfriend did for free I discovered the satellite radio's potential. I was able to discover the different channels, the different genres of music, the ability to save my favourite songs and the radio will prompt me when they come on. The variation in the songs and I even discovered that I can get the score of a game without actually watching (or in my case listening) to it...but the absolute best part was being commercial free.

How is it I lived so long without knowing about this lovely device?? I mean really I guess it was only a matter of time before they came out with this...I mean how many times have you sat through a television show and wished there were no commercials? I mean I personally own a PVR to deal with that problem, but that's a whole other conversation. Anyhow I am now an addict to my satellite radio, I've been using my boyfriend's car and sadly he doesn't have satellite radio in this vehicle...I've been forced to listen to regular radio and I have to say it S-U-C-K-S! So for all you people out there if you enjoy music as much as I do, do yourself a favour by getting satellite radio and paying the monthly fee and if you get two like we did you save yourself a whole heck of a lot of money but it's so very worth it to get commercial free music.
