 Amazon.com: Delphi SA10085 Roady2 XM Satellite Radio Receiver with Built-in Wireless FM Modulator: Electronics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Turns out XM added around 10 new music channels, but there was not enough bandwidth to do something like that, so now all the channels have to sound bad, so they could add these other 10 channels in the same bandwidth.
I guess XM hopes that most people won't notice the drop in audio quality, and yes I am an audio engineer with audiophile ears, but even my wife noticed the drop in audio quality, so it was a MAJOR drop in quality as she never notices things I usually try to point out to her.
XM also added very high compression to the music channels, that they never had before this change, so now even the classical music and Jazz channels have absolutely no dynamic range and sound ridiculous.

 Droxy (Digital Radio)
Field-strength measurements of HD Radio broadcasts on Radio Sunshine exceeded acceptable levels, giving the station a green light to begin uninterrupted HD Radio broadcasts on its main and eventually some of its 12 boosters and translators in the region.
SIRIUS and XM are able to thrive not only because they offer uncensored content, but becuase they offer a level of choice that you simply cannot cram into the space between 87.9 and 107.9 on the dial.
If XM and Sirius hit their mark and start producing positive operating cash flow in a few quarters, a lot of the bearish sentiment that has been marinating the stocks in recent months will evaporate.
