I sit by a window suburban office park, ZERO sig using Sportster and home kit.
I had XM for a few months and their signal is stronger in st louis.
They can't stream content they don't own, like espn, on the internet but stern is their content so you have to figure the future plan is to charge for internet access to stern and their other talk content.
That won't be much of an option for office workers; not many companies will tolerate constant streaming.
I'm considering leaving sportster at home, recording stern on my computer, dumping it on my mp3 player and listening a day late.

Meanwhile, can Stern fans expect a podcast via iTunes? There is a Stern podcast page currently available at iTunes, but to date only contains a one minute, seventeen second advertisement for his Sirius program.
