Satellite Radio

How many of you guys have Satellite Radio in your truck? Is it worth all the hype? If you do have it, where did you get it from? Did you have to install it all yourself or can you have someone do it for you?

Satellite is awesome- hubby bought it so he doesn't go 'crazy' on the long hauls (bought it at a wal-mart I beileve). He installed it himself- I guess its pretty easy b/c when he is home we put it in our pickup when we go places; its a lot of fun to have

I bought mine (XM) back in 2002 when it was still crazy expensive. Worth every penny.

I bought the 30" antenna that turned out to be completely unecessary. I sold it on eBay for about 65% of what I paid, IIRC. Bugs and all... :P
