The reason I switched to XM has nothing to do with fidelity. XM is to radio, what cable is to television. Over the past 15 years the amount of commercial interuptions seems to have tripled. I also don't like the heavy rotation of the seemingly same 15 songs.
The lure of XM for me is the same as cable, instant access to the content I feel like hearing... CNN, ESPN, PGA Tour, Hip/Hop, Classical, Neo-Soul, Punk, Jazz, Classic Rock, political talk, Yankee games, weather, traffic... not at the top of the hour, not after these words from our sponsors... NOW. And when my mood changes... bam... instant format change.
