I've listened to XM and it has excellent programming. But the whole huge ass antenna thing is just a huge turn off! But I do believe that both Pioneer and /////ALPINE will be releasing their own antennas. The ones I'm referring to are Terk (first to market with glass mount) they are retailing for $89.95.
In response to XM being satellite based, it is entirely air based. But XM has ( or is supposed to ) stratigically place ground repeaters in crowded urban areas to boost reception. My Boss just threw that huge antenna on his full-size Chevy, so I'll know tomorrow how he said it performs. We've had it in on demo at the store since mid November, but how it works in a car is totally different. All reviews said reception was a complete success getting nearly perfect reviews in the few mags I've seen covering XM
